Slightly bad:
Leon takes up a lot of the screen
This game is teh roxor. I've been walking through an off track pathway shooting out angry french people's kneecaps so they go down quicker. No more sissy auto aim. Then as they collapse to their knees I run up and round house kick them across the face.
Then I arrived at the village, got mobbed by villagers with pitchforks and scythes. My clip ran out and there was no time to reload (you can't do that inventory reload 'cheat' now either) so I ran across the village and headed into a house and barricaded the door. Cue loony paper bag man appearing and waving a chainsaw around, other villagers bring ladders and set them up to the upstairs window.
I ponce around looking for items and chainsaw man cuts through my wooden barricade, narrowly avoiding him I run up stairs and grab a shotgun off the wall. Seeing villagers climbing the ladder and starting to get in the room I realised I'm trapped, so I run into a corner between the bed where they can't get behind me and pull out the shotgun.
Unfortunatly I was a bit too slow and chainsaw man promptly decapitates me, blood gushes everywhere and 'You Are Dead' appears on the screen.
You want this game.
Also of note, walking into a shack to find a woman pinned a few feet off the ground by means of a pitchfork through the face, "No sex discrimination here" says Leon..
DAMN.
But still, I guess you get new stuff to mess with at the end.
I had to use my crappy pistol against enemies that kill me in two hits :(
Annoyance time.
I can't seem to restart on the same save file on a higher difficulty - there must be a way - you could in the other Resis........so you must on this.
Please please please!
I don't want to start off with that awful handgun against people who kill you in two hits!
Got fully modded TMP now as well. I am rolling in it too - 450,000 to spend. Woot.
And in Mercenaries, to at least get 4* (let alone the 5* with every person on every level! ERG!) you need to pick a decent character really, depending on the level. To start off, on Village, use Leon - and save your shotgun ammo at first. Take out a few with pistol and let the enemies build up -just run around getting pick ups. Then I headed for a building with white double doors - inside is a barrel, a ladder, some time and a bonus chest. All I did was climb up there all stocked up, knocking down the ladder when neccessary, and when there was sufficient baddies down below, use the bonus time and blow the barrel. And then shotgun the chainsaw ladies repeatedly. And then run about and use any grenades etc - you just need to concentrate the enemies and then use a bonus time on them, as well as any high explosives you have to hand.
Won't tell you anymore, as it'll spoil the other characters, although I think they're pretty obvious.

I restarted on the same file and I didn't have any of my previous stuff.
Did you switch to Professional dificulty as well?
Oh, and Ashley's new costume is brilliant ;)
