Ok, let me get this out of the way, I have played both the 360 and PS3 version through the first couple of chapters. I don't see a difference, both versions look fantastic!! This is an absolutely beautiful game on either system, I purchased the PS 3 version because I am still, and always be a fan of the Dualshock controller, I guess you could call me a dualshock fanboy.
Ok some reviewers hammered home the comparisons to RE 4, and that's fair, apparently Capcom didn't want to stray from what worked for them and RE 4 was a runaway hit. I like that the game "feels" familiar but different at the same time. I played the demo a lot to get a handle on the controls, because we can all agree that they take a bit of adjustment from other 3rd person games. I know for the purity of the game Capcom decided to leave the run and gun aspect out of it, but I can't tell you how many times I wish I could pull a Gears of War tactic out of my a$$ during some of the more intense encounters, but after adjusting to the RE frame of mind I adapted quickly.
The story has enough cheese in it to keep me happy, I am perfectly happy with the story, my level of escapism with the game was just right, I don't need a life altering story to make me love a game.
I can't recommend this game enough, it is perfect for me in many ways. In my opinion it deserves my 5 Star rating.

add me for some co-op! I am trying to get more friends on PSN!


*EDIT*
I am adding that the inventory/cash system is ridiculous lol. You can literally farm levels for cash, ammo, weapons and treasures over and over and over...
I still love the game though, online co-op is amazing.

I thought this game was great. This game made me buy a PS3 after the PS3 price drop. I thought the graphics were great and so was the sound. The story line was pretty good and I wasn't expecting to see Jill in the game so that was nice also. I am new to PS3 so the controls took some time to get used to. I played all the other RE games for Gamecube so...it was a nice upgrade for me. RE5 is just slightly a notch below RE4 (which is the 2nd best game I have ever played right after Zelda:Ocarina Of Time). Three really minor things that bothered me about this game was the AI would waste ammo and in the final battle I had to use the hand knife to beat the game, it wasn't as scary/horror as the original RE but still fun and during loading between levels you couldn't read the history of RE because the loading was so fast. I am going to play it online next and see what that is like. I highly recommend this game to those who haven't played it.
