He obviously played it single player, so he was playing some other game. He should come back when he's played Resident Evil 5.


I haven't checked in on Zero Punctuation in a while, and wow, Yahtzee's really gone downhill. Ads, no cleverly picked intro and outro songs, and not really funny anymore.

I'm not sure this can be called the most accurate review of RE5 when 80% of the review is about Sheva's AI.  If it were a serious review, I think he would have talked about the controls, unlockables, mercenaries, how the online experience is, etc.  He didn't go into much depth.  I had seen this before, and I'm pretty sure the guy does it to be an ass, and a funny one at that.

Well, he DID mention that he highly recommended playing with a friend, hobo, or well trained dog, so I think that was his way of saying that (obviously) all those single player AI issues disappear with a good partner.  I mean 80% of his review was about the terrible AI, but yeah, once you get a real partner the game gets exponentially better.


He does have some good personal points aside from that, but I understand why an egg takes up as much as an AK-47, why your armor takes up a spot in your armor (I lol'd at that).  It sounds stupid, but it makes sense for a video game (imo).


All in all, I did find the review funny.  I think the reviewer writes them to be that way, I mean look at all those drawings he did.  Do you think this was meant to be taken seriously?

"no cleverly picked intro and outro songs"


No taking into account some of those might run into copyright violation, which is why he had to do something original.

He has a point. That You are forced to have a partner no matter what is this game biggest flaw, a really big flaw.

Much better than their DR CTYD review, which failed not because they didn't like the game, but because they lied about the extra missions being minigames soley as a way to discredit the extra content made for it.


Also, they basically whined that this wasn't a completely different game made to show off the Wii.


So instead of judging the actual game, they judged it for not being something to use in a you-know-what measuring contest.
