It works, not as good as it could have though.
Still, that doesn't make up for the lack of eerie feeling that was there, in some sense, in res 4.The fright part they try to infuse is through the stress factor.
There really should be less ammo available, it's more of a struggle to be forced to use your knife once in a while.
Normal difficulty is way to easy so i'd recommend playing on veteran, makes up for the disturbingly easy bossfights.
The new inventory works and the gameplay is good and everything flows on nicely. At times the cutscene acting is really good, with all the expressions and vice versa.
The storyline is alright though, does'nt sweep your feet of nor does i make you crumble on the floor trying to deny it.
co-op offline on full HD is deffective, it splits the screen abit wicked. And as p2 you can't buy nor upgrade stuff.
