Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition Reviews

I want to address this Gold Edition for new buyers. Simply put, I think getting the original standard release is the better buy, especially if you're not going to play this game online. If you're only going to use the single-player options, the bonuses that you're getting from this Gold Edition are: * Extra Costumes - who cares? * Online Versus Mode - you're not going to use it * Updated Mercenaries Mode - it's not that big of an upgrade * Two Bonus Episodes - these are solid 1-hour add-ons, but not worth the extra money Let's address the two bonus episodes. "Lost In Nightmares" and "Desperate Escape" were originally downloads that are now being included on this disc. They're fun extras, but they're not worth 20 dollars if you're playing offline and/or alone. Similar to the bonus content in "Resident Evil 4", these are fun diversions, but not must-play experiences...

This game is best with another player controlling Sheva but its perfectly fine as a single player game too. This Gold Edition re-release includes the following: Lost in Nightmares bonus mission Desperate Escape bonus mission Mercenaries Reunion battle game Barry Burton, Rebecca Chambers and Excella Gionne as playable characters in Mercenaries Reunion mode. 4 new costumes (2 for Sheva and 2 for Chris) Extra in game figures to collect Online...

Because it wasn't touched on in any of the reviews that I read before purchase, I want to point out that you can configure the Move controls to function exactly the same as the Wii version setup for RE4. This provides for a much more approachable but no less intense experience that I particularly appreciated. RE4 was the only shooter-type game that I could ever get my wife into and that was mostly because of the intuitive control scheme with the Wiimote and nunchuck. As such, this gold edition was a perfect purchase for my wife and I. If you want in-depth opinions on the campaign, I think several other reviews touch on that better than I could hope to. I just wanted to applaude the efficiency and care given to implementing move controls for this title. |
