This game was loads of fun in both single polayer and co-op. The untold RE stories, a new look at RE2, and playing as wesker are highlights. The zapper controls are good, but the "critical hits" are very hard to get, you basically have to aim at the very top of the zombies head..a fraction of an inch area. The unlockable sections were fun until Dark legacy 2. Here you play as wesker and have to defeat the Twin Ivans. You have to complete this section to unlock the final section Fourth Survivor. The problem is this section is soo incredibly difficult and frustrating to beat, something I have yet to do, and probably won't since I'm pretty much fed up with trying. Why Capcom saw fit to burden RE fans with an incredibly annoying section, fighting 2...robed helmet headed things, in order to progress is beyond me. This really detracted from the game overall, since it basically prevents me from finishing the game. If you're an RE fan get the game, but don't expect to finish it without a load of frustration.
