Okay so i got it. Here’s my impressions in case you are wondering if you should buy: So the multiplayer modes all pit the players against both zombies and each other at the same time. It utilizes the characters (all 10) and levels from mercenaries. From what i have played so far the modes where you are just trying to kill the other players for points are dumb. But the modes where either four players are competing in what is essentially the mercenaries game to try and get the highest score (in either solo or team modes) are way fun. In these modes you can still kill the other players, but its not really the focus of the game because the points are in the combos and defeating the boss characters and so forth. You earn points that can be used to unlock RE5’s special features (just like in other RE modes) and also if you perform really well you will unlock new characters in the multiplayer (you start with only chris and sheva in their standard costumes). Anyway i would love to go head to head with you guys in some four player mercenaries.
