  • Conclusion: Resident Evil 5 is a must buy. Its approach to shooting mechanics and enemy is unique if not a little old-school and it simply looks gorgeous.

Resident Evil 5: Lost in Nightmares

GameSpot
2 March 2010
  • Conclusion: With its heart-pounding moments, scarce supplies of ammunition, and old-school puzzles, Lost in Nightmares delivers an entirely different experience than Resident Evil 5.
  • Pros: Degree of randomization adds some replay value, Creepy and intense atmosphere, Classic cameras and controls are a nice hidden bonus.
  • Cons: Only about an hour long.

  • Conclusion: This is only half the story; the second DLC ships next month. It fills in another ‘gap’ actually during Res Evil 5 where uber evil Jill escapes with the African dude.

  • Cons: No control option for the ‘mainstream’ to move and shoot. Puzzles lacking any challenge and layout too linear. Sheva’s AI is useless without someone to guide her. Spli...
