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
Maybe it's just my crapness at Zones but I never even get Bronze :S

Yeah, me too, I did that in half the time needed for a Gold- literally!
I've done all of Amateure and Honorary League's now on Gold and Platinum, and a couple left in Elite.
That said, I got Platinum first time on the assault where you have to kill the fat blob guy at the end.
Now all I need is Hunchback to be in the game and I'll be happy, I have the feeling though that they left him out.
I've now completed the majority of the challenge with Gold or Platinum. I've got one arcade league to do and I'm 5 levels through the story mode on hard.
One of these days I'm gonna find the time to play online.
Same thing happened to me on that robot level, just before you fight the goliath.
It was painful.
