Curtis Takaichi
October 1, 2009 - Excellent - As a game, RE5 has its share of faults, but as a port, I have to say that this is one of the best games converted from console to PC I've ever seen.
Logan Decker
September 16, 2009 - Excellent - Even for gamers who have never been interested in the Resident Evil series before, there's never been a better reason to drop your assumptions, forget what you think you know and check out Resident Evil 5 with fresh eyes.
Dan Liebman
September 30, 2009 - Excellent - Resident Evil 5 isn't exactly perfect, but it's so close, none of its flaws upset the experience as a whole. Buy it for yourself, but bring a friend for maximum enjoyment.
Jeff Haynes
September 10, 2009 - Excellent - It may not be a radically new Resident Evil 5, but the PC version of the game still manages to hold its own with an improved control scheme and extra Mercenaries mode.
Tom Orry
September 22, 2009 - Excellent - With a whole heap of content to unlock, a campaign that begs to be replayed and top of the line production values there's very little to be disappointed with.
James Cullinane
October 8, 2009 - Good - Like all ports, Resident Evil 5 begs a simple question: have the developers done enough within the six month lag between iterations to warrant your interest if you've already experienced the game on a console? Admirably, Capcom have done more than most but on the whole, probably less than necessary to pique your average gamer's interest in owning two copies of the same game.
Dave VanDyk
September 23, 2009 - Good - The true value of this release is how it represents another glorious step forward for the ongoing lean towards of co-operative gaming in the industry. In that sense, it's a huge success.
Lark Anderson
September 22, 2009 - Good - Though the slow, deliberate movement and shooting may not appeal to everyone, this new sequel's frequent large-scale battles and co-op play still offer a fun and exciting adventure.
Sam Bandah
September 16, 2009 - Good - It seems Capcom is making a habit of good PC conversions, and Resident Evil 5 is well worth playing on PC if you haven't already done so elsewhere.
Mike Griffin
October 16, 2009 - Good - With upgraded textures and effects, new Mercenary modes and character costumes, and superior control options, [Resident Evil 5 is] another outstanding PC outing for Capcom.
Joe Robinson
October 6, 2009 - Good - It's hard to say which version [of Resident Evil 5] is superior, although if you like your visuals, the PC version is definitely worth checking out if you've got the hardware. Other than that, it's simply down to which platform you prefer.
