Product Description
Previously only seen during cut scenes of the original RESIDENT EVIL 5, the first new episode titled “LOST IN NIGHTMARES”, finds BSAA agent, Chris Redfield, working with his partner, Jill Valentine, as they investigate Ozwell E. Spencer’s hideaway. Spencer, the evil mastermind and co-founder of Umbrella Corporation, has been hiding a new evil deep within the basement of his mansion. Chris and Jill discover this grotesque evil standing in their way as the two enter deeper into the catacombs beneath the mansion. Simultaneous with the release of “LOST IN NIGHTMARES”, new costumes for Chris and Sheva will be made available, allowing the player to experience RESIDENT EVIL 5 with a fresh new look and feel through both game play and cut-scene playback. A new refresh of Mercenaries Mode, “ THE MERCENARIES REUNION”, gives players new playable characters and weapon load outs which provide players additional challenges as they aim to shoot down as many enemies as they can within a limited time. Each piece of downloadable content will contain two new playable characters. The GOLD EDITION will feature all eight.

From the ashes of old conflicts, a new terror arises. The Umbrella Corporation and its crop of lethal viruses have been destroyed and contained, but a new, more dangerous threat has emerged. Years after surviving the events in Raccoon City, Chris Redfield has been fighting the scourge of bio-organic weapons all over the world. Now a member of the Bio-terrorism Security Assessment Alliance (B.S.A.A.), Chris is sent to Africa to investigate a biological agent that is transforming the populace into aggressive and disturbing creatures. Joined by local BSSA agent, Sheva Alomar, the two must work together to solve the truth behind the disturbing turn of events.
Exciting Two-Player Co-op Mode
The new cooperative gameplay element focuses on the realities of a dual-agent mission, highlighting the ways in which Redfield and Alomar must work together to survive the unexpected, while still allowing them to split up and work alone. To help you maximize the potential of this setup, two-player online and offline co-op modes ensure that you have options when aligning yourself with a partner.
New Episodes Episodes and Costumes
In addition to all the campaign gameplay content included in the initial standard console release, Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition also includes two all-new episodes. These include "Lost in Nightmares" in which Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine journey back to the Spencer Mansion from the original Resident Evil to solve its puzzles, and uncover the secrets of the Umbrella Corporation; and "Desperate Escape", featuring Jill Valentine and BSAA agent Josh Stone fighting to escape the Tricell facility, and the unrelenting waves of enemies at their heels. The Gold Edition also adds two new costume packs containing a total of four new costumes. These new costumes feature full playability both in-game and in cutscenes, ensuring that Gold Edition players always fight evil in style.
Online Versus Mode now Included
Originally available only as an additional digital content download, the Resident Evil 5 online versus mode comes packaged along with the Gold Edition. In it players with free PlayStation Network memberships take control of Chris, Sheva and other RE5 favorites in online battles of up to four players where the choice is yours whether to fight alone or with a team in two game variations which include "Slayers", where you compete for points by defeating the zombie Majini, and "Survivors", where you fight against human competition.
Mercenaries Reunion
Mercenary Mode, was an unlockable mode available at the end of the single player campaign in the original releases of the game that hearkened back to the franchises roots in the Horror genre. Mercenaries Reunion is an updated version of that mode included in the Gold Edition. It is an all-out, arcade style zombie fest in which players must eliminate as many enemies as they can in a limited amount of time, using only the weapons and ammo that is found in the play environment, and a curtailed number of inventory slots. Available both offline and online, Mercenaries Reunion features eight new playable characters and weapon load outs, providing players with additional opportunities and challenges.

CO-producer and series veterans Jun Takeuchi (Lost Planet) and Masachika Kawata (Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles) unleash an unprecedented level of fear for the next generation in Resident Evil 5, the sequel to one of the highest-rated video games in history according to Metacritic.com and Gamerankings.com. Revolutionizing the series with an unbelievable level of detail, realism and control, Resident Evil 5 is certain to bring new fans to the series as well as satisfy veteran players. These incredible changes to both the gameplay and world of Resident Evil make this a must-have game for gamers across the globe.

Simply put, I think getting the original standard release is the better buy, especially if you're not going to play this game online. If you're only going to use the single-player options, the bonuses that you're getting from this Gold Edition are:
* Extra Costumes - who cares?
* Online Versus Mode - you're not going to use it
* Updated Mercenaries Mode - it's not that big of an upgrade
* Two Bonus Episodes - these are solid 1-hour add-ons, but not worth the extra money
Let's address the two bonus episodes. "Lost In Nightmares" and "Desperate Escape" were originally downloads that are now being included on this disc. They're fun extras, but they're not worth 20 dollars if you're playing offline and/or alone. Similar to the bonus content in "Resident Evil 4", these are fun diversions, but not must-play experiences.
If you're a multiplayer gamer, jump right into this Gold Edition. There is a ton of content for you to enjoy. But offline users would be better served to get the original version of "Resident Evil 5", which (as of this writing) is only 20 bucks. Everyone should play this game, but this Gold Edition was meant for co-op or versus play.
The Gold Edition is also compatible with the PlayStation Move. I haven't tested the Move with anything, but if it plays as well as I've heard from a few others, then that's really the only catch for single-player gamers. Personally, I'm willing to bet that most gamers prefer a controller in their hands.
GAME REVIEW
As for "Resident Evil 5" itself, there's really not a whole lot to say. It's basically "RE 4" in Africa with co-op elements. That's not to dismiss the hard work that went into this game, but it's a very similar experience. The over-the-shoulder gun combat hasn't changed, and the animations aren't that different either. Enemies will stumble, attack, and fall very much like they used to. You will upgrade your weapons, manage your inventory, find treasures to trade in for cash, solve simple puzzles, and try to survive a truly intense experience from start to finish.
Where "Resident Evil 5" takes a strong step forward is in its co-op gameplay. Franchise hero Chris Redfield is joined by Sheva, an African agent who tries to solve the mystery of how her homeland has been taken over by a virus. Whether you're playing alone or with a friend, the two characters will have to work together to solve puzzles and strategically take down enemy attackers. While the AI for 1-player could be a little better --- Sheva always uses the handgun first, and doesn't condense inventory well enough --- it's still a great experience no matter how you play it. The inventory management isn't done through a pause menu; you'll have to exchange ammo and health herbs in real-time, while you're fighting to survive. Sheva does a good job of keeping herself (and you) alive, only faltering in a few forgiveable instances.
The only areas where "RE 5" failed to surpass "RE 4" are in its plot and atmosphere. I'm not gonna call "Resident Evil 4" a brilliant story or anything, but it was remarkably well-told, and you were mostly aware of where you were trying to go. In "RE 5", Chris & Sheva pretty much have the same goal from start to finish, making any detours in the plot feel like excuses for more action. As for the African setting in "RE 5", not only is it less interesting, but about halfway through the game, it didn't even feel like I was in Africa anymore. Crypts, laboratories, and fortresses don't exactly look African. In "RE 4", the Spanish flavor was constant, from the small villages to the religious cult architecture.
"Resident Evil 5" establishes its own identity through the African backdrop and through constant action. If you're looking for the chilling scares and horror of "RE 4", there's not a lot here. Quite frankly, "RE 4" was a terrifying experience with a great blend of action & horror. "RE 5" skips the horror factor, and goes for balls-to-the-wall action. But make no mistakes - These two games are very different in style & tone, and they deserve to remembered for their own merits. To compare this game to its predecessors is nitpicking. Fans of action gaming must play "Resident Evil 5", pure and simple.
