I was 11 when I played this. it was hyped back the day. and was scary tho but it could be better if they paid more attention to it. wish they make a remake out of this game it can be mind blowing. Achievements for multiplier sections are not fair it has dead multiplier and its not even good. took 7 month to complete the Achievements.
I absolutely love Resident Evil! RE5 is one of the reasons I fell in love with this franchise in the first place. This remains as one of my favorites of the entire franchise, really. I love everything about it and I don't think there's anything I'd change. I think a lot of the hate for this game comes from people who lack friends, as it's very very enjoyable with friends. I played this game mostly on Xbox initially...
