Best Worst Least-Inspired Game: Resident Evil 5

How does the sequel to Resident Evil 4 -- one of the best games of all time -- feel so...meh? Sure, it was a technically sound and beautiful looking game, but where was the heart? The plot was filled with clichés, most notably the uninspired "I've got your back, partner" dialogue that was the extent of expression from the game's protagonists.

The other driving forces of the plot were the search for Jill Valentine and discovering the identity of some mystery women. Who didn't connect these dots immediately? And the game has the audacity to play up the moment of the mystery girl's reveal as some sort of shocking revelation.  My intelligence was insulted. Let's not even mention how they turned Wesker into a generic villian straight out of The Matrix.

Also, didn't Jill used to have darker hair?

RE5 has its problems, but I still had a great time with it. It definitely wasn't RE4 or Dead Space caliber in most regards, but it was still fun.

@Brian I wouldn't say it wasn't fun, just a uninspired.

I'm looking forward to the Gold Edition next month. I passed on it the first time!

I hear you Mike. I never even played 4 and 5 often struck me as derivative. But yes, I had a terrific time with the game despite the dryness.
