Resident Evil 5 Critical Response 3

James Mielke of 1UP.com compared Resident Evil 5 to Gears of War 2. He criticized several inconsistencies in the game, such as the enemies' artificial intelligence and the ability to interact with objects and use cover. Mielke also criticized its controls, saying that aiming was too slow and noting the inability to strafe away from (or quickly jump back from) enemies. However, he concluded, "Despite the excruciating detail I've poured into describing the problems [Resident Evil 5] creates for itself, this is still a very fun game."^[55] Kristan Reed of Eurogamer also criticized aspects of the controls, such as the speed at which 180-degree turns were performed and difficulty accessing inventory. According to Reed, Resident Evil 5 felt a lot like past games in the franchise and was "just like any other third person action shooter".^[57]
