It was a fun game and an awesome Co-op experience with high production value... I even got the Platinum Trophy.
Other than that, AWFUL Resident Evil Game.

Haha... no dear, not all of us.
Wasn't a masterpiece like Resident Evil 4. It was a me-too ("I want that Gears of War attention so bad!") co-op game. It's still fun to play, nevertheless.
Played all the way to 1000 GP in co op, such a great time. And I thought Wesker was probably video games greatest villain coming out of this game. Happy birthday.
Haters can hate all they want, but it's the ONLY Resident Evil game to have reached 11 Million copies sold.
Super fun, replay it every few months and one of the best co-op games ever.
My current girlfriend and I love to hop onto Mercenaries.
oh and, can't forget about this trailer, i used to watch it all the time on my crappy ass computer back in 2005

10 years old. Time goes by. Kind of aged well. First time we could move while aiming (in the RE franchise). First time we could play the entire campaign in co-op, which was a blast. First time the campaign felt rather bland all around, with turret sections and all. If Resident Evil 4 started the over-the-top sequences, RE5 basically said: "Hold my beer".
Re-did the campaign with a buddy when it came out on PS4 and we still had a blast. I'm not sure how I feel about this one overall. I liked it, but I feel like it wasn't a great sequel to RE4.
Anyway, share your thoughts!
Not the best Resident Evil out there but it's a fantastic co-op experience.
Trying to rip that thing off Jill during her fight on professional was impossible. I loved it.

That's crazy - I remember getting it on launch day as a high schooler. Played it co-op with a friend that I haven't talked to in probably 8 years now.
It was fun but I way preferred RE4's solo experience.

I always shot it with a magnum. So nerve wracking! But so worth it.

I usually went for the flash rounds on the grenade launcher, grab her and then shoot it with the M9. Though it was always chaotic with someone else.
One of my least favourite RE games, but it wasn't bad. Co-op ruined the single player. Great co-op game but man that single player is weak. I'll never get my true RE4 sequel not shackled down by forced co-op.
I remember getting into save editing because of this game.
I really wanted Wesker's Samurai Edge for myself.

My roommate and I had a blast with this at the time, but we both agreed that it's a weird case of being a great game and yet also a horrible Resident Evil title.
It's like if they made the next main-entry Halo game a cart racer and called it Halo 7. It could be one of the best racing games ever, but it wouldn't be a good Halo entry, if that makes sense.

Funnily enough i just finished this game for the first time yesterday. After getting the Platinum trophy in RE2 remake i got the urge to go through the series and play them again/for the first time.
So in the last few weeks i have played 0, 1, 2, 4, 5 and now i have started 6. Hadnt played either 4, 5 or 6 properly before so was interesting to go in after everything i have heard about them.
I would probably say that 5 is as good as 4 (take that comment how you will lol). While 4 had a creepier feel and less linear map system to 5, it also dragged on at times and controlled worse then 5 i feel. Otherwise they are both surprisingly similar in how they evolved (or should i say mutated) from previous entries. How people can give 5 crap for not being a RE game yet give RE4 a pass is beyond me since they are very similar.

5 is an awesome game, gets a bad wrap for some legit reasons, but godamn its still fun. I loved running through the different stages and getting better rankings, upgrading weapons, and going through with co op. Everything just worked mechanically imo.
The only thing that really bothered me was that it wasn't that scary.

What could have been a fantastic game was marred by some really inappropriate design choices (damsel, swamp) and somewhat stiff movement.
Loved the split-screen co-op. Got the Gold Edition on PS3 and also the PS4 port. RE6 was such a downgrade in comparison.
I really enjoyed RE 5, played through it multiple times. 👍😀 So much better than the sloppy, disheveled mess known as RE 6. 🙈 I eventually finished 6 but I basically had to force myself keep playing it.
Incredible experience. It was it's own unique game and the hype for it was high. Capcom was riding high with their HD Xbox games, SF4, and for my group of friends, the industry really, they riding a high wave of excellence.
The co-op experience was incredibly fun and brought a unique way to play the game.

Totally agree
As much as I like the RE5 we got, this is the one I wanted to play:
It looks so tense, and it had a dodge move!
I thought about hooking my 360 up again to play this. Fun game that attempted to do something different with the RE series even if it displeased the fanbase.
Happy 10th Anniversary RE5 , Hope we see its Melee in some future games
RE5 has the best melee moves, I mean, just take a loot at this:
I'm gonna have to reinstall RE5...
It was, and I remember reading many predictions of a Las Plagas breakout in a Spanish city.
When I look back I remember many moments and set pieces, but barely anything of the story that ties it together, which is a big shame for an RE title.
It's probably the only RE title that is equally over and underrated, depending on your PoV (co-op GOAT and as an RE4 sequel).
Let's hope Capcom can find a way for an Action RE series to co-exist alongside SH RE (I'd say that Revelations 1&2 sit in the middle of both styles).
Fun boss fights but I thought the overall level design was really bland and disappointing, and the controls and gameplay just felt dated. Never played it co op though, so maybe that's where some of the charm comes from. Coming just off RE2, I feel like that's a perfect compromise of some of the more action/modern controls and gameplay 4-5 introduced, but with the classic atmosphere of the old games why I thought was increasingly lost with 4-5-6.
