Well, at long last, the public at large (that didn't go to the Tokyo Game Show) can try RE5 and man, it's quite fun. We talked briefly about the early, generally unfounded, accusation of racism (or just general lack of racial sensitivity) because of how all the zombies/plagas/whatever-the-RE5-guys-are are black.
Well, the good news is that RE5 is super-fun. The bad news (to me) is that Capcom caved in to all the bloggers who have never even played a Resident Evil and made a mix of zombies that is worthy of appearing in a Nesquik commercial. It's still pretty obvious that the game was changed. I can't help but be reminded of the "Cartoon Wars" episode of South Park.
That aside, RE5 is pretty much exactly like RE4 (including some many recycled animations). However, it has a serious graphical improvement over RE4, and looks pretty seriously badass. The co-op dynamic is awesome. Very, very fun.
