I bought this game only because my friend was buying it as he wanted to play co-op. Actually, I only bought it because my Gamestop was having a promotion for this game where you trade in 2 used games for RE5 at 20 bucks. So, I have played with quite a few people and I am proud to say that I enjoy this game. It is worth your money. I simply can't wait for the multiplayer. I have already bought Killzone 2 and this and I hope that those games will keep me occupied. The only con I can find for this game is the co-op as one needs to wait for the host to reach a checkpoint to respawn. Thats the only problem. I only bought RE4 for its good reviews and loved it. But, the setting is perfect for an action adventure with a few frights. Just remember this game isn't a horror game. I absolutely hate horror games. I couldn't get through the Darkness as I had many nightmares; I only played about an hour into Bioshock before I was sweating. RE5 is not very scary, just some frights. And a versus multiplayer coming soon (April 9)!
