01Overview

Resident Evil 5 has similar gameplay to Resident Evil 4 and uses the same over-the-shoulder view, but the environment plays a larger role. The player depends on a partner more than in older games. When the partner's health bar drops to 0, the partner enters a dying stage, where the health bar flashes red and gradually lowers. Years after surviving the events in Raccoon City, Chris Redfield has been fighting bio-organic weapons all over the world. Now a member of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance, or BSAA, he is sent to Africa to investigate a biological agent that is transforming the local population into aggressive creatures. These new enemies are called Majini. Chris is joined by Sheva Alomar, another local BSAA agent, and the two must work together to find the truth behind the outbreak. The game supports single-player and co-op play, and you can share ammo and items with your partner. The Steam version is a port of the Games for Windows Live release and includes achievements and leaderboards.
