Sheva has a grudge against them because she lost her parents in a test that Umbrella conducted when she was a little girl. Sheva's lilting British accent can get on your nerves and I found it really irksome when I asked her to pick up some ammo because I couldn't carry it and she'd say something stupid like, "Are you crazy?" or "I can't right now."Ĭhris and Sheva are tasked with discovering what evils Umbrella has been up to in Africa. Background music works really well for whatever situation you are in and the gun reports from the weapons you'll have access to all sound really good. He did have some cheesy lines, but they were more annoying than funny. I did notice some weird graphical issues in the water spray, like little pixel boxes of water spray shooting up from the lake, but otherwise, the graphics were excellent.Īs far as the sound department is concerned, voiceovers are more like normal dialogue, but honestly, I miss my Resident Evil cheesy liners! However, one of the enemies Chris and Sheva will be hunting is the aggravating crony Irving, with a really thick New York accent. Once you delve deeper into the areas you'll be exploring, you'll see some water areas as you'll be traveling from island to island by boat. Chopped up animals just seemed unnecessary to me. Although I don't have a problem with gore in a game, I don't really recall that being a focus of Resident Evil and I'm not too crazy about it. As you progress through the buildings in the town, trying to meet up other teams, you'll see a variety of gore strewn about. You'll first arrive at a meat shop to load out your weapons and it is pretty gross. There's a group of men beating the living hell out of something or someone that appears to be wrapped in a burlap sack. As you enter the township, dust is billowing down the road, flies buzz around rotting meat and there are clothes hanging about, blowing in the wind. Your surroundings, however, look pretty realistic. Let's just say that the game feels more than a little bit racist for quite a while into it. Did I mention that almost all of them are black, at least until you get a good bit into the game? Although your partner (or "pahtner," as Sheva says) is African, she has very light skin, but your enemies are very dark-skinned and pretty damn crazy.
Resident evil 5 ps3 reviews cracked#
Dusty, cracked skin on their faces, blood-red eyes and lots of anger are what you have here. The residents of Kijuju, however, are downright eerie looking. Your heroes, Chris Redfield (from earlier RE games) and Sheva Alomar, are simply beautiful specimens of humanity.
The graphics are crisp and detailed and the player is able to see every little detail, from the red eyes of the infected Majinis you'll be battling against, to the pulsating flesh of the bad-ass bosses. Resident Evil 5, much like Resident Evil 4 before it, looks simply beautiful - well, most of the time.
