Resident Evil 5 Ships Huge Numbers

by Administrator

Well there’s really no question that Resident Evil 5 will be a huge hit. It already is. Capcom, publisher of the game, has already shipped 4 million copies. Resident Evil has always been a popular series for the company, but the initial shipment is bigger than ever before.

Of course a game with this many fans is bound to cause a bit of controversy. Some people love it and others hate it. The reviews have been decidedly mixed.

“It’s a solidly constructed, workman-like effort with some cool set pieces that figure into some exciting boss fights (I’m looking at you, rad blast furnace battle with giant plague zombie). But too often you’re left befuddled, muddling through some strange, wrong-headed mixture somewhere between action and horror, hoping against hope that Resident Evil finds its way again,” wrote Joystiq.

Resident Evil 5 is out there and shipping like hotcakes so it’s likely we’ll be hearing a lot more about the game in coming weeks.
