Da Zombies Are At It Again With Resident Evil 5

Wassup everyone I hope you all had a good weekend like I did. Well all did was sleep. Anyways, I had to write about this game because it was the first game that came to mind since I did just play it last night. Now I know this game has been out for a few months now, but hey its still current. Its definitely changed a lot in some ways but there's a lot that's still the same. One thing that's new is the push button action sequences. This push button action thing is starting to become a big trend in videogames as of late. I've seen it in a number of games lately. Resident Evil has a lot of great artistry. The evironments are amazing and great for HDTVs. It really feels like you're there. There's a level where you play at a mine or quarry. I don't know maybe they're mining for diamonds, but the sun is just as blinding as if it was the real thing. I really like the way it illuminates the rocks in that scene. The gameplay is ok at best as far as controls are concerned. The controls are really blocky and choppy. It just as the games 1 through 4. Though they're not hard to manage but you just don't get a good feeling of movement with your character that you're playing with. It just seems that they didn't have a good idea of control placement. They really need to stop letting this be Resident Evil's trademark. Other than that the game is great. During its debut Resident Evil 5 took shots of racism for having it's plot based in Africa. Being black myself, I didn't necessarily take any offense to it. This bugs me because people obviously don't know all the facts. First of all its just a game people! Secondly the game is about a virus turning people into zombies. If people would have played the other four they would have known that. The virus in the game changes anyone, black or white, into a zombie and the hero or heroin kills them dead just the same. If game developers were really racist black people would not be on the cover of videogames. There would be no Kobe on the upcoming NBA 2k10 game, no Muhammad Ali or Mike Tyson in Fight Night 4, and no Balrog in Street Fighter. So please people stop looking for a reason to start a movement and get your facts straight before you scream fire. Oh yeah and check out this game if you haven't already.
