I love this game, but I don't suggest it for anyone that doesn't like diseased looking people and zombies. The ideas for the zombies are brilliant, but are sure to make a lot of people squirm.

This game definitely deserves it's M rating, but doesn't hold a candel to others like Grand Theft Auto. Violence- there are spurts of blood when you or enemies are hit, but there's not a fountain. When a character is killed, a puddle of blood sometimes grows around thier bodies. Your character can be decapitated by a chainsaw, but it's off-screen. Sometimes zombies' heads can be shot off, and the parasite briefly gapes from the open neck wound. Several people are infected with a parasite that overtakes their bodies and covers them in a swarm of worm-like things. People (zombies included) are impaled, crushed and sliced. Every character has a set of physical attacks, which range from a crushing punch to the face, impalemant with a knife, and snapping necks with bare hands. There is one game mode where the player kills as many zombies as he can as quickly as he can. Language- The language is pretty heavy, but better than most R-rated films out there. There is one f-bomb in story mode, and another on the Gold Edition. There are four or five uses of sh*t, the same number of d*mn, a few uses of God as exclamations, and about one use of b*stard. Sex- There aren't any sexual situations. Sheva wears tight, cleavage-revealing clothing, and several of her unlockable costumes are little more than a bikini. One female character wears a dress that cuts to her stomach and lower back. There is one scene where a character uses slight innuendo. Attitude- Obviously the bad guys have pretty a pretty bad attitude for trying to bring about a sort of apocalypse. Chris and Sheva risk their lives to complete their mission, protect/aid fellow agents, and to rescue Chris's friend. At one point Sheva almost backs out, but decides to help Chris stop the plan to infect the entire world with mutating, sometimes fatal parasite. Other concerns- there is controversy over this game and where it takes place, but I don't see why it's racist. They're in a poverty-ridden area of Africa, so most of the population will be black. Sheva is black, so why is there such an uproar over a white man killing black zombies in self-defence?

me and my sister played this and it isnt bloody or gory it fun and good for all ages (unless yoou are afaird of zombies most kids are not) but it gets boring

I have the Gold Edition and normal version for my Xbox 360 ( I got the normal in 2009 and the gold in 2010) and I have the Collector's Edition and normal edition for my PS3 both of which I got in 2009.Although I have been playing the game 9-13 hours a day from the time I got it until now i don't get into fights or throw vulgarities every second.Why?I know this sort of stuff is unrealistic and unreal and will never happen in real life.Stop black mouthing this game it's Ok and is not over the top it's just fine although really intense at times but not like what Csm described.Language is envitable in life,and there is no game with no bad language.There are far worse games out there not causing controversy and the people who made a big fuss about this are really fussing over nothing.First these are dead zombies not humans and they don't even look a single bit like humans people are just picking on this for no reason it's not scary at all unless your cowards Children will be children,if you think they can handle it,let them play but the recommended age is 11,or parental supervision for under.if you hide your child from everything ,they're already Tweens and need to have a taste of the real world they will get laughed at at school.

Number one rule of Zombies: They are everywhere. So wouldn't it have been RACIST to leave out Africa? Also, have you noticed the only people complaining about racism in this game have been white people? My point being that in RE 4, we were killing Spanish-european people. How come no racism issue was raised there? Now, in RE5, we're in Africa, hense the African zombies. On a brighter note, the game is amazing and anyone over 13 should give it a go :D

THIS GAME IS NOT RACIST it is in africa where black people happen to be and turn into zombies over all its a good game

um ive seen the whole game on youtube and there is not a single f-bomb common sense me go overboard when they are reviewing a game.

I really like this game, but it can get very boring at some parts because your doing basiclly the same thing over and over by killing zombies. I want games to be more like fallout 3. That's is one of the best games ever made to me. Now I know this isn't fallout 3, but what I'mm trying to say is that in this game all you do is kill zombies. In fallout 3 you do quests, it's a free roam and very fun.

Sure it has lots of Blood Killing and Gore but its not even meant to be scary it like more of an Action game and the only Information they reveal about you is your Countries Flag But its fun and has really good Graphics even on T.V.s with No HDMI ports
