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

It's easy to win.
But you need to do it in 2:15 for a gold, and it's on spaceports level and the disruptor gun is terrible, and you respawn miles away from the bots.

Wow, I struggled to get bronze. Any techniques I should know about?
Best game i have played for a while.
The most significant being able to keep the chimps going in Electro Chimp Discomat (Challenge) for a whopping time of 9 minutes 30 seconds :D
I was very pleased

Which gold do you need?
