Its on games on demand and its awfully tempting. I do however hate japanese game design and the combat is going to be a problem for me. Plus Im not sure I want to play co-op with anybody. Thoughts?

Should I buy Resident Evil 5?
You don't like japanese games, the combat doesn't look to be very fun for you and you're mostly going to solo it?...No I'd advise against it, though truthfully playing it solo itsn't too much of a repellent. It still plays fine enough workin with the AI, but coop is definatley how you get the most out of it.
Uhh, the AI isnt bad, seriously, just assign Sheva to attack and she is pretty good. I would get it cheap. I had never played earlier RE games so I enjoyed it immensely. I guess its not like previous entries, but I didnt know so I loved it.
If you can get it at a bargain price, I would suggest it. It's a good and fun experience (especially in co-op, so maybe you should recruit someone to play online or something if possible), but don't go in expecting a riveting story. It's top-notch gameplay overall, but the story is mostly an excuse to get from Point A to Point B.
I'd very strongly recommend it. I think it's also only $20 now, which is just awesome. I've never played it co-op, but found that Sheva is a very competent and attractive AI companion.
RE5 was built ground up on co-op, but you can go at it solo and still have a good time. Co-op is really where Capcom's gem really shines, and it increases the fun factor 10 times more.
In my opinion the game is only worth your time in co-op. Solo it really offers nothing that other games haven't done better.
Damn this is already on Games On Demand?! That's nuts. Anyway, I love RE5 and got the platinum for it on ps3 and still might even buy the Gold Edition on 360. But do I think you should buy it?

No, you'd hate it.
