Recently bought the game from ebay and Im just waiting for it to arrive. Ive got a couple of questions about the game that I hope you can answer.

1 - How long will game last me for? Like how many gaming hours?

2 - Is it better to play online or local with a friend?

3 - Is it easy to find ammo because Ive played the demo and I was running out of ammo quickly.

1 - How long will game last me for? Like how many gaming hours?

The game for me lasted about 10 hours for me. That was one run though. Maybe the same.

2 - Is it better to play online or local with a friend?

I would say local because you know them and you can talk to them. Some people don't use there mic's or don't have any.

3 - Is it easy to find ammo because Ive played the demo and I was running out of ammo quickly.

I think it was easy. Just the AI takes alot of it. Then you have to request it and hope your not getting attacked.

Lasts about 10-15 hours on a runthrough but merc mode can help extend the game life and completing higher difficultys can add too.

I would have to say local too if you dont know anyone with a mic already online.

Easy after the first couple of missions. dont worry ;P

Conserve ammo like there is no tomorrow.

Use melee moves whenever you can, and finish them with Stomp/knife them.

Probably best to give your partner a MG, and Rifle, and you take the handgun and shotgun.

Ah right thanks a lot. Appreciate it. Cant wait for the game to arrive.

way to much ammo in game

First play through was a good 10 hours for me, I did a bit of looking around.

2 - Is it better to play online or local with a friend?

Either or, I prefer online just because I like to use my WHOLE screen, but sometimes people are just ridiculous.

The demo is just a barrage of zombies, for the most part you'll have too much ammo if your aim ain't bad.

way to much ammo in game

Only after you've finished the game once and decide to use infinite ammo. On my first run I was very limited by ammo and sometimes had to reload savepoints just to pick up extra ammo that way.

Apart from sniper ammo i had 500+ of each ammo by chapter 6.2 on my first playthrough. Its not hard. Way too much ammo in the game after the first 2 levels.

You can check out the user reviews for better answers.

The single play campaign is to short imo but fortunately co-op is one of the strong points in RE5.

Mercs, money, special weapons/costumes, points, all this would keep the game going for a long time.

I got bored of it for simply overplaying it =/

That and I sort of have a grudge with this game, but thats a different story.

Overall the game should last you along time, just don't overplay it....it kills EVERY game.

What do you mean the single player campaign is shorter than co-op? Do they have like different storylines?

No, hes saying that the story is a bit short, but having the ability to do it co-op makes up for it.

He is talking about the game in general.

Ah right. Thanks for clearing that up.

I overplayed it as well, put in a good 60 Hrs within just a few weeks.
Stopped until just a couple days ago, and at first I was hesistant, but the co-op really still makes it fun.

I'm still playing this but very occasionally. Maybe once a week if that. I'm back into Resistance 2 and Devil May Cry 4 at the moment, although I can't wait till i get Dead Space.
