Of course,REs staple boss battles also returned, in even more titanic proportions than ever before.
But, Im getting ahead of myself.

First, just whats going on in the increasingly dangerous world ofREthis time?
Now a member of the B.S.A.A.
Indeed, when it comes to sheer tension and intensity,RE5aims right for the jugular.
To help even the odds we come to the aforementioned co-op.
Of course, as this isResident Evil, the AI also helps solve some rudimentary puzzles.
The co-op system also introduces a new inventory system, which has been taken directly from theOutbreakgames.
Each character has nine inventory slots in which they can hold items, including weapons, ammo and herbs.
This lets you quickly switch weapons on the fly, somethingRE4didnt allow.
you’re able to also use quick buttons to give items to your partner.
As withRE4however, you cannot buy ammo, so finding supplies while in the field is law.
Graphically,RE5is stunning stuff, and its certainly one of the finest looking games to grace the 360.
I admit, Im a bigResident Evilfan, and Ive been looking forward toRE5for a long time.
But, with expectations so high, I was prepared to be disappointed.
This an area that many developers, not just Capcom, have struggled with before.
