Resident Evil 5

Known in Japan as Biohazard 5, Resident Evil 5 is the first of the Resident Evil series to allow cooperative play for the full storyline, including both online and offline. This is a fantastic feature for households with one console and more than one game enthusiast. The cooperative play is designed so that the second player and enter or leave at any time during the game. The gameplay itself is similiar to Resident Evil 4 with the main character being controlled in a similar manner. The Mercenaries minigame returns, as does the over the shoulder view. There are quite a few new types of enemies including groups with melee weapons and human-like intelligence. Weapon variety has also increased from the previous games.
