I think this game can be good therapy for work stress and what nots. Shooting zombies and monsters in RE: UC is really fun and the satisfaction gained from this does appeal to 'baser' instincts. Needless to say, playing co-op on the big screen is a blast, especially with the Wii Zapper. However, other than mindless fun, I would say that there are certain weaknesses in the game that takes some of that fun away. Action cutscenes require very quick and accurate user-inputs, even on Easy setting. This has caused more than a few frustrated moments, and this takes some of the gameplay momentum away. Some of the Sub-Chapters require a solid A grading to be unlocked. At the start, only Main Chapters can be played in co-op mode - we need to beat all Main and Sub-Chapters in order to play co-op throughout. All said, the game can do with a couple more Chapters as well! Can's wait for RE: UC2....
