Resident Evil 5 for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

I got this from GameFly today - and sent it back on the same day. The camera controls are very bad - I didn't like the aiming system nor the stop and shoot - I didn't like the button combinations that had to be used just to use ONE weapon.

This was the first time I played an RE title - I was very disappointed too. I couldn't get past chapter 1-1

Well designed, high quality game and graphics with a decent story. Truly impressive in those regards. Unfortunately, it is my opinion that their reluctance to give us a more 'free' control scheme only degrades this game. If I had been able to 'move + shoot', 'move + reload' and use the various melee attacks at will rather than through some obscure 'shoot + charge-the-badguy' mechanism I would have given this game a 9. As it is, those things really annoyed me. The incredibly limited inventory annoyed me slightly as well.

I have not played it in coop yet, which might increase my score if I find it highly enjoyable.
