Very weird to play this after Resi 4, I don't think you couldn't get two shooting games any more different from each other.
So far:
+ Lots of humour and little touches which made me smile
+ More Captain Ash
+ Looks and sounds alot better with alot more speech
+ The stats & character gallery are back, with some old favourites
+ Intimidatingly huge amount of Challenges etc. to do
+ Doesn't look like EA have messed around with FRD's game.
- Couple of framerate slowdowns
- Pathetically weak and short opening level (the demo level)
- I seem to be crap at Arcade league.
The opening Story Level is a let down, specially since the beginning of TSP2 threw you into the sublime Siberia level. But the next level is far better. And has Captain Ash who is hilarious :)
Oh, and in the extras section you can see the credits, which has Cortez going all Saturday Night Fever on a mirror-balled dance floor. The sign on the wall says "The Big Tipper". :D

pfft.
I was on the phone, it was something to divert my eyes.

The assaults are my favourite challenges, Training Ground is by far the best no matter what anyone says, although it was better on TSP2. VR and Mars Prison ones are good too.

Yes after a half hour slagging match..

I didn't say it was you. I just checked back and it was Munn who thought you might have to do it all on Co-Op on all difficulties. You do have to do it all on Co-Op, though obviously, you get two characters for doing so.
