I'd even consider paying full price for playing as Leon in high res glory...haha i guess for the Japanese developers, they weren't content with just releasing RE 4.5, even if that would have satisfied RE fans around the globe. they probably wanted to push new features, and for them, co-op programming is probably a relatively new thing. while western gamers are already spoiled with online co-op gaming (we played doom and quake online co-op back in the day), japanese gaming tends to be a solitary offline affair - that's why RPGs are so popular there. but you know, maybe just playing with a friend online through the campaign may alleviate many of the issues that were similar in Left 4 Dead - a game that wasn't fun to play solo but quite enjoyable with others since it was built to be a co-op game. i guess if we somehow force ourselves to try to play RE5 co-op instead of dealing with the AI partner, we may enjoy it. in fact, hit me up on live and we can perhaps get through it together as 2 hardcore RE fans...hah how awesome would it be if Capcom decided to release a RE4 remake for 360/PS3 like they did with the Resident Evil 1 remake on the gamecube?

A massive RE fan, and someone who played and loved RE4 all the way back in 2005 (It'll have been four years when RE5 comes out... whoah), I booted this up from CDR in my 360 expecting, from the trailers, RE 4.5. And it kinda was, but the co-op just ruins it. You're right, RE is a solo experience. It just takes RE4, an ageing game, and adds the horrible 2-character interaction of RE0. And where that was okay, it makes the item sharing, which was so painful, absolutely horrific by placing it in real-time. I longed for the respite of Leon's attaché case whenever I switched weapons =[ I totally agree.
