There is more out there that goes bump in the night than what's under your bed or in your closet. Nowhere else is that more clear than in Resident Evil 5, the latest version of the favored horror survival game franchise, Resident Evil. You can often gauge a games rise in the ranks when it jumps from one medium to the other. They made a movie or two (or three) about this one did they not with big stars?

In the original Resident Evil, the story occurs in Raccoon City concerning the unethical experiments of a company called the Umbrella Corporation. The company created a biological called the T-virus. As with all hideous horrific tales, the experiments go wrong and infect each living species in and around Raccoon City.
The first team sent in to investigate blood-thirsty undead and mutated animals is known at STARS, Special Tactics and Rescue Service, Congratulations team. As you can imagine, they get felled by undead so the Alpha team is sent to rescue them. And, the tale continues through one or two Resident Evil games till you get to the latest release. Each game builds on the original story and most took place within days of the other versions. Starting with Resident Evil 4, the location for doing battle isn't Raccoon Town. In Resident Evil 5 characters are whipped away to Africa to once again clean up after the Umbrella Firm.
The Xbox 360 has the hi-def feature for boosted 3D graphics and fact of play. Gameplayers have managed to play as a few characters in the past.
