Experience the thrill and terror all over again with Resident
Evil 5 for Xbox 360. Featuring Chris Redfield of the original
Resident Evil and Sheva Alomar, a West African agent of the
Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA), this sci-fi
survival game is staged in a remote desert colony packed with
hordes of fast-moving, quick-thinking enemies that represent a
whole new breed of evil.
Meet Two Fierce, Playable Main Characters
Back from the original title and Resident Evil: Code Veronica,
former S.T.A.R.S. special forces team member Redfield is a
battle-tested, founding member of the BSAA. With a reputation for
superior marksmanship and phenomenal hand-to-hand combat
abilities, he's on the ground and up against a new strain of
evil. You'll call his s from the same over-the-shoulder third
person viewpoint that distinguished Resident Evil 4, except this
time you'll also have the option of playing as his teammate, the
fierce, local Alomar. Whoever you play as, updates to the earlier
version's third-person control scheme offer more options and
promise intuitive interactions.
Learn to Work Together
The new cooperative game play element focuses on the realities
of a dual-agent mission, highlighting the ways in which Redfield
and Alomar must work together to survive the unexpected, while
still allowing them to split up and work alone. To help you
maximize the potential of this setup, two-player online and
offline co-op modes ensure that you have options when picking a
partner.
Steel yourself Against the Harsh Reality of Kijuju
An advanced version of Capcom's proprietary MT Framework game
engine brings groundbreaking graphics and effects to Kijuju, the
highly-developed environment where this game's action takes
place. New, lifelike lighting schemes highlight the differences
between harsh sunlight and extreme darkness, and when you move
from one to the other, you'll have to wait for your character's
eyes to adjust before you can see clearly, adding to the suspense
and challenge of navigating this game's environs.
Face the Next Generation of Evil
You'll face new enemies with faster reflexes and improved AI,
designed to be as dangerous alone as they are in groups and to
keep even Resident Evil masters on their toes. Thankfully,
they're not the only ones who have evolved. This game also offers
access to powerful new weapons variations that extend your
destructive capabilities.
And the updated, quick-select inventory system allows for
real-time inventory management, as well as allowing characters to
trade items and allowing you to place an item on the directional
pad for instant access. Add all this to a detailed storyline the
touches on what the past ten years have meant for Redfield and a
Hollywood-caliber soundtrack, and it's clear that the latest
installment in this series really does showcase all the elements
at the heart of horror gaming.
