After a couple of sequels rather dry, the announcement of RE4 is that the game has no properties 'true' zombie fan made a lot of long term rather annoying. Despite all odds, the game became very close to being a great example of modern survival horror, which provides not play on Wii or PC. Resident Evil 5 is in Africa, something of a unique place with regard to the undead.

The fifth game in the series (if you want to, game review, go to the traditional numbering at least - is actually more like the ninth) is not much of an outlet of the fourth, but still a bit 'new mechanics thrown in.



It also includes the less' zombie 'bad yet. There is still a degree of uncertainty dead, but there are many more enemies that are faster and more dynamic in their movements and attacks before.
