- Too short
- 1 type of enemy
***

Visual and Audio quality of this add-on is excellent. In my opinion graphics have seem to be improved over the original version. Mansion looks very nice and very detailed (Look closely and you can see how highly it polished and all the little details such a wall cracks, etc.)
You learn a lot of story content thanks to the diaries and in-game dialogue. To be honest I'm not a very big fan of prolonged story-related analysis (MGS4 for example) but reading the diaries and character's memories was quite interesting and the person who wrote them made sure that they are entertaining to read for the players. Well done.

On the negative side, "Lost in Nightmares" is drastically short. I understand that I don't have to expect much from an add-on for $5, however I wouldn't mind paying $10 for a longer experience. The game itself is close to a demo length. Playing "Heavy Rain" demo not long ago and both have 2-3 chapters, not more. Another disappointment would be a lack variety of enemy. There is only 1, technically 2 if you include Wesker but you only meet him for a short while. You only get to fight a creature with big axe throughout the game, that's it. Sure we can list laying prisoners as an enemy, but I look at them more as an obstacle which does not hurt you, therefore hardly an enemy. Developers, however, did a good job by making creature-type of enemy interesting to fight with, having a very limited ammo supply and not having almost anything at all during the second chapter!
The final fight with Wesker is...Depends on what you expect :) I always loved fighting him in the original RE5. Just remember what Morpheus said "Men have emptied entire clips at them and hit nothing but air" Them, in this case, is Wesker. For your own amusement developers spread the ammo throughout the stage just so you can enjoy spectating more of Wesker's awesome dodging skills :)

Finally, I recommend "Lost in Nightmares" to everyone, and thank Capcom for continuing support of RE5.

P.S. To Capcom: new multiplayer mode would be nice!

Stranglehold is a masterpiece of a new generation. The graphics are wonderful - they are sharp, detailed, beautiful to look at and very stylish. 2007's Stranglehold surpasses visually most of what's coming out in 2010! The best bullet-time effect yet developed on the market. It is beautiful to look at the wave coming from the path of a bullet as the time slows down, combined with a nice sepia tone effect. Character models look brilliant.
Destructable environment? Don't even get me started on this one, I can go all day. No game on the market is yet to match with the beauty of Stranglehold's environment. Everythings is destructable. EVERYTHING. And the game simply loves it's customers by providing plentiful of guns so you can unleash the wave of bullets and purposely not aim directly at the target, watch the spectacular atmosphere which occur around the shoot-out. You are a star of an action movie. True cinematic experience. AUDIO: Chow Yun-Fat reprises his role as an Inspector Tequila, can there be any other argument? Each character is provided with fantastic voices: A group of russian mercenaries is voiced by a REAL russians ( My homeland is Ukraine, speak both ukrainian and russian so I know), not the fake ones which even most of the high-budget Hollywood movies have no dignity to recruit. Listen to the time slowing down, listen to the slow bullet breaking through the air, = a music to my ears!

Gamespot's negative comments about this game are bogus. Too short? Perfect length for a perfect storyline, why ruin the storyline for sake of the length? Repetitive? Stranglehold offers a variety of different missions, some of them including an intense fight with a helicopter, a flying level where you destroy the enemy's cargo, mansion riddled with lasers, a fun level where you have to protect the band of musicians from getting killed while fighting the storming foes and much more. Just waiting for the Boss fight is enough for the variation purpose, they are all unique and fun! Speaking of online, it is not even supposed to be in the game. Many 3-rd person shooters like Max Payne 2 don't even have a multiplayer, yet GameSpot doesn't see it as a problem, but when game includes multiplayer Gamespot finds it bad? Come on! And it's actually a very fun, enjoyable multiplayer. My only critique would be the lack of online community and a total misuse of Precisious Aim.

In the end, here it is. A masterpiece. Developers have put so much effort in this game which the audience lacks the respect to appreciate. The game's menu itself speaks about the game, it is very delicately stylized with no useless squares or other nonsense crap which most of the other games trash their audience with. BEAUTIFUL QUALITY.

I am very impressed with this game. I was expecting a lame replica of Call of Duty 4 but with worse guns and a less interesting campaign. I could not be more wrong. The campaign is incredible and puts a different perspective into world war two that hasn't been seen from the COD series, the japanese. Also as an added bonus they added a Nazi Zombie mode. Thats right i said a zombie mode. All though it sounds really cheesy, I can assure you that it is phenomenal and you are missing out if you haven't tried it. To explain it breifly, you start with a pistol in a large room with windows boarded up. You start to see zombies slowly creep up to you in the first few rounds (don't worry it gets harder). As you complete more waves the zombies become much much faster and in greater numbers. I would definately recommend this game to any person who loves various FPS games.
