Resi 5 body part competition a bloody success, says Capcom

But the fun part is, some of the bits are missing...

The winners of the Resident Evil 5 body part hunt. They get a holiday in Gambia for their troubles.

On Tuesday, I blogged about Capcom's Resident Evil 5 competition, which challenged zombie-loving Londoners to scour the Trafalgar Square area for fake body parts. Teams had to grab as many limbs and heads as possible before pegging it over to Westminster Bridge.
Well, apparently it all went well, with hundreds of would-be body snatchers taking part. "The eventual winners were apprehended on Westminster Bridge, and were moved on by police officers as horrified tourists gawped at the bloodied mass of fake meat assembled next to the House of Commons," says the gleeful press release. Oh Capcom, you crazy controversy-seeking wags.
The interesting thing is, some of the parts have been taken from their hiding places, but never handed in. Have they been kept as grissly momentos? The publisher has a warning for the culprits...
"The body parts are very realistic and we don't want people to be alarmed by them. They've all been taken from their original positions, but we now have no idea where they are. If you have them, please either return them, or dispose of them in a responsible and careful manner. In addition, chicken livers were used for added gore, and, uncooked, they can be dangerous."

There you go folks, if you find any severed limbs in central London over the next couple of days, whatever you do, don't lick them. However appetising they look.
By the way, Resi 5 sales figures are coming in from Japan - the game shifted 400,000 copies in its first week, 312,000 of those on PS3. As Gamasutra points out, this is some way down on the one million+ debuts for Resi 2 and 3, but not bad in the current financial climate.

This sorta makes the annual White House Easter Egg Hunt seem a bit lame by comparison, LOL...
