Resident Evil 5 , Capcom returned to its survival horror roots by unleashing Resident Evil 5, the latest installment of its acclaimed franchise, on consoles. Reuniting some of the classic characters while at the same time taking advantage of features from the previous title in the series, RE5 was an evolution of the genre. The addition of co-op further added to the fast paced action, as you had a hand to fend off the infected denizens of Kijuju. However, up till now, only console players could enjoy fighting the hordes; fortunately, that's about to change. Resident Evil 5 has arrived on PCs, and while the release on computers isn't a director's cut, packing tons of additional content, the few new bells and whistles included definitely make it a solid improvement over the console versions, and arguably the best version of the game that's been released.

If you're not aware of the story of Resident Evil 5, allow me to provide a brief and spoiler free summary. Chris Redfield, one of the survivors of the Arklay Mansion incident in the original Resident Evil title, has joined a new group known as the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance, a worldwide organization whose task is to prevent the spread of biological weapons from being used. Chris is sent to a fictional region of Africa because of a possible outbreak, and is met by his new partner, Sheva Alomar, who helps in his investigation. Along the way, Chris and Sheva find themselves facing familiar people from Chris' past as well as discover a plot that could be the deadliest threat the world has ever faced.

For the most part, this is exactly the same story on the PC that you'll find on the consoles. (If you're looking for a breakdown of combat, the racism controversy and more about the game, check out our original review.) That means that you won't find any additional chapters or quick time events, nor is there an epilogue that highlights what happens to the characters at the end of the game. That's not to say that there aren't any new features that have been implemented within the gameplay. In fact, there are a few adjustments that have been made which improve the experience. The first adjustment involves making the inventory of both Chris and Sheva hot swappable thanks to the 1 through 9 keys. Hitting any one of these keys instantly equips the item, reducing the amount of steps that you need to perform. This can be particularly vital, especially in the midst of combat where you don't have the time to access the menu screen, select and equip an object and avoid an incoming blow.

Another adjustment that's been made is the addition of mouse and keyboard support, which you'd expect with a game that's been ported to the PC, even though it supports the 360 controller as well and can be swapped back and forth at will. But it's more than just a simple WASD adjustment that you'll find here. For one thing, the keyboard provides a quick turn button that can instantly be pressed to rotate your characters around. This is effective when you're trying to prevent yourself from being surrounded by Majini or other creatures that are looking to rip you to pieces. Another plus is the inclusion of a quick knife button that allows you to instantly swing your knife at an enemy or an object in quick succession, giving you a last second item of protection. But perhaps the largest and most significant adjustment is the larger aiming reticule for the mouse, which allows you to ready a firearm with the right mouse button and fire with the left. No longer are you forced to rely on a laser pointer to indicate where bullets are going to go; instead, you can line up your target in the expanded sight and fire away.

There is one section where this fails, however. During the vehicle sequences, where you and your partner leap onto a turret to repel incoming attacks and defeat your enemies, the expanded reticule mysteriously shrinks for some strange reason to an incredibly tiny red cross. This can be extremely difficult to see and aim properly, potentially reducing your chances of success. It's not like this can't be adjusted or even compensated for, nor is it one of those issues that radically breaks the gameplay, but it is a big adjustment to be forced back to when you're accustomed to the larger reticule for a majority of the game. Just prepare to spray and pray...
