Perry Piekarski, who reviewed Resident Evil 5 when it came out, has now delved into the much talked about DLC. Go to source to read the full review of this DLC.

Overview

From the moment I loaded up RE5 Versus, I found myself fantasizing about Mercs co-op instead (which is easily better than the main game itself). This lack of fidelity assured me that Versus just can’t offer the same blissful experience the rest of the game so readily provides.

Of course, if you’re that desperate to milk the most out of your RE5 experience, be my guest. In my opinion, you’re paying five dollars for a mode that really should have been on the disc in the first place—but that’s your choice.

All in all, this expansion doesn’t do much for the game. Perhaps if Capcom added the option to move while shooting, it could have worked. But they didn’t. This paired with the god-awful lag and bland game variety is likely to lead to a serious case of buyer’s remorse in countless RE5 fans. While it’s not completely unplayable, I already know I won’t be coming back to it unless Capcom does some major patching.

Check it out if you want. Or you can buy some better, less frustrating DLC. It’s your call.

And no, I didn’t forget it:

    Huh. The way he talks, it's pretty easy to take his advice.

    I think I'll spend my $5 on some Smackdown v. Raw DLC.

    Desperate to milk the RE5 experience...

    What an experience...took a couple of weeks to basically get next to everything in the game, Story mode becomes obsolete by the time you have everything you need, and Mercs is just too *bleep*ing easy with friends and a chore to play with strangers.

    I'm not desperate, I am actually trying to expand RE5's relatively short lifespan by at least a month. Like...you know, getting my money's worth.

    I made the mistake of getting vs.

    It was at least 100x worse than what I had predected (and I was really hating on it before I had it)

    Slayers is an absolute joke. And Versus has stupid sh!t going on.

    You make us pay for something already on the disc, then lie about it, then expect us to play this......piece of shit?

    GTFO capcom.
