In light of Resident Evil 4's acclaimed success, Capcom has decided to play it safe. With the exception of the new co-op feature, the gameplay of 5 closely follows that of its predecessor, only now you're shooting shooting Africans instead of the French (but apparently it's only racist when they're black). Unfortunately, with this new gameplay, comes a whole host of problems. The co-op AI is terrible, so playing with a friend is a must. Likewise, the game is riddled with stupidities. Why can't I change my quick-select weapons in-game? Why can't I automatically use an item off the ground? Why does a rocket launcher take up as much space as a freaking egg? Despite the clear lack of gameplay testing at Capcom, the games still provides a very enjoyable experience (even if its only due to it's RE4 heritage) and that's only enhanced by being able to share that with a mate, assuming they're not a twat. However, if you haven't played either title yet and don't have any friends, stick to the 5-star 4 instead.
