It's not bad. It's a quality game, just not what many RE fans wanted. Take it for what it is and you'll be fine.

I like it more than the old version.

Ouch, that may hurt it. RE4 is a fant-freaking-tastic survival-horror game. RE5 can hardly be called survival-horror.

Yeah so far the game is fun, the AI is a bit annoying but i can deal with it. It will be more fun with another person, but i wanna see if i can take the game in solo before the AI drives me crazy.

So far i finished the chapter 2-2 and the game is at least OK so far, but no is not a survival horror but RE4 wasn't as much as survival horror like the other's but had a GREAT atmosphere (very gray weather, fog, and weird spanish people trying to kill you, RESI 5 only has the weird people).

Almost every old cartridge game on eBay says "cleaned and tested" but then you get it and there's enough dust in there to turn several q-tips black.

If the game works I don't want to leave negative feedback or anything but it pisses me off because they either lied about cleaning and/or testing it or they did so a year ago and let it sit out in the open to accumulate more dirt and dust.

I got a "cleaned and tested" NES cart where the jackass must have used a steel bristle wheel in a Dremel on the contacts. They were ground down to the copper, there was not a speck of gold left on them. Copper tarnishes when exposed to the atmosphere, gold doesn't. That's why most contacts have a gold coating dumbass. :roll:

I'd much rather get an uncleaned cart and do it myself instead of some idiot that doesn't know what they're doing fucking it up.

Ouch, that sucks.

Still, it's not whether the game is cleaned or not that bothers me since I can do that myself, it's the lying about it. Particularly the tested part. I never let a game leave my house unless it's booting up reliably (and if I did I'd make sure to note the cartridge has problems).

Really enjoying Deus Ex Human Revolution. It has this Bioshock feel to it. Plus, it's set in Detroit. I'm gonna have to pass this one on to my dad afterwards.
