Let's see, there was a pistol, switchblade, Nintendo DS, a Creme Egg, Branston Pickle, Bean-o Lottery Card, some weird mannequin chess piece, that Gun Shop Telephone Booth from the Far Cry 2 review, and a.... "unmentionable woman's joy." Nice.

I never said the game was racist, nor do I think it is. I was pointing out that there is a difference in complaining that in the previous games you were killing Caucasians... with a Caucasian and people complaining about killing coloured people with a Caucasian. I bear no ill thoughts towards this game(except for the laughable partner AI), nor towards Capcom who I enjoy their games.James Cassidy said:
I played the whole game my first two times through with an online friend. No quirks about co-op and the buddy system but yeah, inventory is lame. Mercenaries is a hoot with someone you know.
I haven't played it yet because I'm poor and can't afford a PS3 (sony fanboy here flame later). I never thought i would ever hear someone wanting ashley around for ANYTHING. Good to know they took every nice thing about RE4 and got rid of it. Personally I think real-time management is not a great thing other than programming a d-pad for weapon switches. Inventory should not be done with 55 quote unquote zombies having at ur shins. Also, I'm sad about eggs being the same size as assault rifles. Lots of laughs in this one though, see you next wednesday. 
Hmm I did want to get this game purely because I was bored with everything else and wanted a decent co-op game in the survival horror genre. When I played the demo I never liked the camera, the movement, the absense of a reticule and of course the stupid inventory which I though they'd fix before the actual game came out. I think I'll still get it because Yahtzee said that it's best to be played in co-op and I really need to cure the boredom.
Awesome reivew! One of my favourites! 11/10 XD

Well done with the reviewI Its good to see that my time wasted watching my friend obsess over Capcom and that game for two hours while I read an old Spiderman comic for the millionth time, wasn't totally in vain. Now I'll have your review to shove in their face and say, "How in God's name can you wear armor in the pocket of the armor's pocket, idiot?"
It was funny, Not your best though.
You should know all the commands before you right your reviews though. Circle and Up sets your partner to attack which means use your biggest guns. Circle and down says stay near me and use your pistol.
If she is fight a boss with her pistol it's because you told her.

This is the first Yahtzee review that actually disappointed me. I've played through the game at least thrice now, never on co-op, and it seems I had a completely different game than Yahtzee... For me, the A.I. is fantastic! Sheva doesn't need babysitting, and is a great help in a fight. I too noticed her preference for the pistol, so you know what I did? I DIDN'T LET HER HAVE ANY PISTOL AMMO -O zomg gasp!). Problem solved ldo.
I also thought she had great judgment on when to use healing items. When I had medium damage she would only use a small herb. If she didn't have one, she would wait until she or I got more damaged to use a big herb. I never regretted letting her carry the healing items.
Lastly, the inventory. Yeah all the trading that takes place can be a *****, but if you're gonna compare it to RE4's system (as Yahtzee did), I would say that the ability to map items onto the d-pad and switch weapons without pausing the game MORE than makes up for the other awkwardness. Oh and the "egg size = AK-47" argument. Did he really just attack a Resident Evil game for not being realistic?? 4's inventory was no less unrealistic. No man could carry all that, and the enemies would patiently wait for you to rummage through your things!
To me this review smacks of just looking for supports to a preconceived judgment, and it's the first time I've felt that way about a Yahtzee review. Of course, he was playing the 360 version, so I guess it wouldn't surprise me if his legitimately was that bad...

It seems that the last review was a outlet for social commentary regarding racism. This review would've been better for that, I think.
I rented this game and played with a friend and had fun it had flaws but I still had fun. I probably forgive more because I rented it and didn't to pay a 60 dollars.
So...what I'm getting from everyone (OUTSIDE the forum, at least, because I haven't checked here) is PC garbage that RE5 is somehow MORE racist than RE4 because the enemies here are black and must be protected.
That's racist.
The tribal sequence kicked ass and adding a few white AND JAPANESE PEOPLE to please all the racist liberals was just ridiculous.
NEWS FLASH: There exist a world outside of the United States, and most of those people are not white. Poverty-sticken African nations are not typically littered with white or JAPANESE people unless they are missionaries/ Peace Core, etc.
The Capcom people were only stupid for giving in to the racist liberals in the first place.
On a side note, the flashback sequences were all silly, and killed the tension where it was needed most. WORSTE ENDING EVER.
