5 Stars Playstation 3 Dualshock controller
I received the controller just 3 days after I ordered it. It was brand new, as advertised, and worked perfectly. This was also the best price I can find a PS3 controller at, yes even cheaper then Gamestop. Thanks a lot.

5 Stars Great Controller
I love the wireless feature the most about this controller. It works great and it allows you a little more freedom to move around. It’s especially handy when playing a game with a partner and when storing the equipment. Less wires are always a good thing.

I also like the rumble feel of the shock controllers. It certainly adds to the excitement.

As I said, this controller works great. I’ve had it for several months and have had NO problems with it.

4 Stars Has Some Minor Flaws
I dont’t like the inverted and broad triggers. When you play games that require you to use them a lot it feels uncomfortable. The left trigger also started to feel and sound defective as if the spring inside was starting to scrape against something. The left analog stick also started to feel a little sticky. These two issues started to occur about after a month of use but went away and haven’t returned. Maybe it just needed to be broken in? I like this controller better than the 360 except for the inverted and broader triggers.

5 Stars Very Good
PlayStation 3 Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller

This is a very good controller, similar to the one that comes with the Playstation 3.

The wireless range is awesome and the battery seems to be almost infinite! Very good quality.

The only thing I should comment is that there is no USB Cable included, so you must charge one controller at a time or buy a cable.

5 Stars PS3 controller
There is no doubt that this is the best controller for Ps3. Sadly there are no alternatives at least good ones from other brands. Logitech’s controllers wont work in racing games and the shock function is not availbale for all games. I sold the logitech controller and purchased this sony dual shock.

Powerful New Weapons – The number of weapon variations has been greatly increased providing new ways to keep enemies at bay.

3 Stars This game is not Resident Evil
In fact, I’m not sure what this game wants to be – is it Tomb Raider, is it Devil May Cry, is it Gears of War? It certainly isn’t a Resident Evil game. It’s so different from any other Resident Evil, except maybe part 4, that it seems like a debut to a new franchise; and not a good one at that.

I love Resident Evil (RE), which I’ve probably played over 20 times. I love RE 2. RE 3 was OK. RE: Code Veronica was great. Even RE, the remake for the Gamecube was good. I have not, however, played RE 4 because I was not into the PS2. I now have a PS3, so I bought it because there was a lot of hype.

Because of my background, I’ll be comparing this game to older REs instead of RE 4. On the other hand, having not played RE 4, my perspective is fresh.

The first thing I noticed when I started playing the game was how bad the controls are. Previous RE games had perfect controls for what the game asked you to do. Say what you must, but it was always easy to turn a corner. In RE 5, a sharp corner can be difficult because Chris makes such a wide turn. Too sharp a turn and he’ll stop to turn which is not cool. On top of that, guns are powerful, which throws enemies far with a few shots. This makes me lower my weapon, run to them and then raise the weapon again. There is always wishing that I could just walk over to them and continue to shoot. Overall, they feel clunky, and it really ruins the fun of shooting. What this game is missing are controls similar to GTA4.

RE 5 is less of a horror game, and more of an action game. For some reason Capcom believes that many enemies on the screen, constantly putting you in a time sensitive situation is considered horror, but it isn’t. There is nothing scary about that; all it does is make me anxious, which is not a feeling I enjoy.

Capcom got rid of the loading screen with the doors opening, which was a stupid move. The loading screen with the door opening, gave the illusion that there were no loading times. It also helped create mood for the game. Instead of that great idea, RE 5 has regular loading screens that say “Loading”, just in case you forgot you were playing a game. The worst part is that they put a small paragraph on the screen with some history of the RE series, but they don’t give you enough time to read it because the loading is so quick. That is sooo annoying.

The story in this game is blown out of proportion. You may not agree, but I rather liked that Umbrella was the sole company and that there was an isolated incident in Raccoon City. It seemed weird and scarier that way. Now that a global operation is revealed, it seems cheapened. It all makes sense, but it’s as if it just became generic instead of special.

There are other quirks about the game that annoy me too. The dialog is really bad sometimes – I thought we’ve moved past this. Handgun bullets appear, even if I don’t have a handgun equipped. Bullets appear out of illogical places. Enemies have great motor-skills until they get close to you – that doesn’t make sense and it ruins the immersion of the game. If you could assume that the Plagas parasite made them retarded in some way that would be one thing, but they don’t. Albert Wesker has a super human ability to move faster than bullets, but somehow, he’s really easy to kill. If you see the cutscenes in the game, he looks impossible to kill, this is a big “we made him easy so you can defeat him” move by Capcom. Do they expect me to take them seriously with these issues?

In conclusion, Resident Evil 5 is a playable game, but it isn’t that good. It doesn’t do anything special, it doesn’t make sense, and the shooting is not as entertaining as in previous RE games.

5 Stars Resident Evil 5 Rocks
This game is incredible co-op, bring your best pal into the world of upgradeable guns and creepy zombies and enjoy a long and bountiful game.

1 Star Boo Get off the stage!
I was severely disappointed in this Resident Evil, I had bought the game, went back to my room and in the dead of night began to play, hoping for the pop out zombie-fest that I love from this series. What do I get in return? a day-time thriller that reminds me more of a bad 80s horror flick than a good Resident Evil game.

I returned it after 20 mins of gameplay.

5 Stars nice game easy to play
the only “complaint” about this game is when you play double offline the screen is divided in 2, so you get kind of confused sometimes.other than that this is a great game and plus f you play it with the HDMI cable conection to your high vision tv it s awesome!

5 Stars BEST GAME EVER!!!
Wonderful graphics, fun gameplay and it has 2player mode so you can play the entire story mode with a friend!!
