RE4 could still be called a horror game, despite the more action- orientated approach it took with things. With a huge emphasis on partners and teamwork, as well as mostly being set in broad daylight, the same cannot be said about RE5.
Pros: + Graphics are great, with strong lighting effects and nice textures. + Co-op is a lot of fun. + Loads of unlockable content, which often keeps the game feeling fresh (the bow is a nice idea). + Game mechanics are, mostly, solid. + Some nice ideas for new enemies.
Cons: - Sheva is awful, and the rest of the AI isn't much better. - They killed off Wesker, the only real villain the series had. Should have saved him for RE6. - Copies too much from RE4. - All action, no horror.
RE5 is not, all in all, a bad game. In fact, it's actually pretty good. But the fact that it came after the amazing RE4 means that it's going to look pretty shoddy by comparison, especially since it tries to blatantly copy it so much. The game's still worthy buying, but if you're expecting classic Resi gameplay, or a game even in the same league as the previous instalment, then you'll be disappointed.
