Description
Chris Redfield returns to the series as the main character in
Resident Evil 5, a game which follows the main story of the series. He is sent to Kijuju, Africa, where local agent Sheva Alomar joins him in the mission to apprehend Ricardo Irwing, who is trying to sell bio-weapons in the black market. Soon they are attacked by hordes of locals infected by an improved version of "plaga" parasite seen in
Resident Evil 4, which they call "majini". As the story progresses, Chris discovers that some old fellows are behind the whole infection.
Apart from extending on the concept of "plaga" parasite revealed in the previous game, this fifth part of the series also features the novel gameplay seen on it. With an over the shoulder view, Chris confronts hordes of infected enemies that can throw objects and even shoot at you. They can be repelled with various fire weapons, grenades or using the knife and melee attacks if they get too close. This time though, Chris have a partner, Sheva, who accompanies him through all the game and can be controlled by a second player, with both characters having to keep an eye on each other to survive. The second player can enter and leave at any time playing locally through split screen or online through another console.
The "mercenaries" mode, which consist of closed levels where the player must survive a given number of enemies, return to
RE5.
