Well, after a pretty heavy wait, RE5 is finally out.
New game play, new mechanics, same old tank controls, this time with faster and uglier enemies.
Anyone pick this up and have any thoughts on it?
Personal opinion: They finally did 2 characters the right way, then again I haven't spent much time with an AI partner.

So is this one multiplayer? I heard for a while there that you could have a buddy control the secondary character.

All I know is, if the real game is anything close to the demo, I'll never touch this game.

You can play both online and offline co-op through the entire game.
The controls, are the same as they have been for every RE game. with the few changes of co-op having to have both players respond to action sequences, and being able to shop/upgrade between each chapter and every time you die.
Co-op is a blast even with split screen. Seeing your partner running off to fight the good fight, only to start sniping heads from the distance is classic.
Not sure how the story is going to pan out, but so far it is kind of dull except for a small twist (On chapter 2-3, not sure how many there are)
All in all, if you can handle the tank controls, and the wonky damage locations (shooting one guy in the head 5 times pisses him off, the one next to him makes him go *pop*) it's worth at least checking it out.

i'd at least rent the game to beat it. of course playing co-op with a friend the entire time.
personally i liked the earlier resident evils. with the eerie feel to them, now it's like.. action.. and bleh. still had fun with the demo though, will get this and play eventually
