I've played RE 1, 2, 3, 4, and even that crappy one on the Wii you need the zapper for...5 is by far the most disappointing one of all. I didn't expect the Wii one to be good, but the 360 version of the franchise really let me down. Don't get me wrong, this is a good game but not a great game. There is a major difference. The gameplay itself is what you'd expect it to be besides the annoying addition of a second player the ENTIRE game, but the features are plain...well plain! No upgrading your suitcase so that you can carry more, not many puzzles to solve, plot is mostly unexplained and if this is your first RE...forget knowing what the story is about because nothing will make sense. Unless you know the characters, you won't have a clue as to what's going on. The worst part of all...Sheva...your female accomplice. Don't expect to breeze through the game playing by yourself because this chick will get killed or get you killed constantly unless another person is playing co-op with you. Even then it's annoying. The good that can be said about the game are the amazing graphics. I mean these visuals will blow your mind. They are no doubt the best graphics I've EVER seen. Ever. Maybe that's why they left out so many cool little features that RE fans love. I had to try it and beat it so that I could say I'm done with it and I did. I recommend any RE fans to rent it and beat it. Don't waste your hard earned dollars on buying this game...straight up...not worth it.
