the above valid criticisms aside, my biggest gripe was how awkward initiating co-op was. for a game that's so obviously set up for co-op, starting it up is very... inelegant? you should be able to start local co-op from the menus, if you have two profiles signed in. as it is, you have to start the single player, go through the loading and the item management, wait for the autosave, hit start on the second controller, go through more loading and item management. you should really be able to skip the first few steps.

other than that, co-op is great. i like how it saves items and treasures to both profiles separately, and duplicates all the found items (BSAA emblems and treasures). there are a lot of co-op games out there that just don't do that. so while it's a pain to start up, it more than makes up for it in other conveniences.

On that above note - i wish you could name your sessions....so you could let people know about it - stuff like writing 'first time' or 'shotgun only' or 'speed run' ya know, so people don't get annoyed and don't misunderstand each other.

No more zombies. If you bring them back, make them tougher enemies that actually have some level of intelligence. If they're the old kind, then no. They are far overrated.

Tougher bosses. Don't make us use special weapons for nearly all of them. Plain old shooting and having strategic tactics involved would be good.

Many people have complained about RE5, which to some extent turned them off RE for good.

What needed improvement?

The gameplay needed improvement. It felt like I was going from one room to the next, like an old platforming game.

In my opinion, the boss fights needed to be harder. Like, the first and only El Gigante guy was fought using a Minigun, rather than like in RE4 where you had to fight each one yourself, plus, boss fights that could've been so much longer and more epic like the U-8 battle were over with fast.

I think what was really missing was the horror. When I first downloaded the demo I was scared because I thought it was going to be like the old RE games. Boy was I in for a shock.
When my brother bought the game, the only part that had any suspense to it at all was when one partner had to hold a lantern while the other person shot the "zombies" when in the dark caves, and even that was extremely mild, especially since it only lasted around 5 minutes.
