The March 2009 issue of Official Playstation Magazine is now out and the scores have been leaked. Resident Evil 5 got a perfect 5/5. Here's a little bit of what the reviewer thought.
Resident Evil 5 OPM Review
“RE5 isn’t about solitary frights in the dark anymore. It’s about hyper-intense, adrenaline-fueled, partner-focused action.
It takes the co-op experience to a new level and reinvigorates the survival horror genre.
While Resident evil 5 still resists conversion to a pure shooter mechanism, you can now strafe, and while panning with your weapon isn’t exactly fast, it’s no longer insufferably slow.
Some control peculiarities (from RE4) do remain (in RE5) such as the inability to walk or run while firing your weapon.
The overall effect of the new control refinements is a smoother, less frustrating play experience without the robotic movements that have been a hallmark of the series for most of its existence. But if you’re still resistant to change, there’s a wide latitude of control setup options that will let you tune in a good amount of the traditional Resident Evil control feel.”
