guys, when i played the demo i was agreeing with you all and thinking this game wasnt as good as resi 4, i was even contemplating not getting it. after having just spent the last hour playing on co op with a friend, let me tell you, resi 5 blows resi 4 out of the water and i cant wait for it.

in single player i found that the girl was a waste of space and ammo was eaten too quickly because the enemies absorbed too many bullets.

in co op the girl wasnt a problem obviously and the ammount of ammo seemed to be just right. also, uppercutting and stomping is very effective.

it took is about 5-6 tries to beat the chainsaw guy, and there is no way i could do that on single player mode, which leads me to believe capcom set the difficulty to very high on the demo, so the game should be easier

me and my buddy found that him grenading then kicking the chainsaw guy while i stood back and sniped him did the job.. eventually

if anyone wants to play co op, let me know
