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
I'll probably pick it up sometime in the summer when it's much cheaper.
This game is so funny.
I'm on the 3rd level and my favorite bit so far was when that German soldier was talking about his hairy chest.
:D

I haven't got any platinums yet.

I just had a go at the arcade league mission eith the master where you start with the 'double flare guns and it's the only gun in the game'and it was alright, but I'd still rather use the double shotgun.
EDIT: Amateur League complete, go me!

If you make it so everyone starts will double flare guns and it's the only gun in the game, then it's excellent.
> Oh and the flare gun is awesome!
No it isn't, it's terrible.

I'm going to try it out soon hoping it at least has better default levels this time.
