I bought this for my dad for his birthday cause he is a real hardcore resident evil fan. He heard this verson had extra content already and my dad loves having any special features and unlockables. Little did he know upon completing the game he saw there was no unlockables which the game said was included which is also written on the box, little did we know you need to be connected to x box live, which is misleading because I could of just bought the original. So I don't see a difference apart from a code on the back of the manual which entitles you to have the content.
Resident Evil 5 is an amazing game. Even though it's been out for a few years now, it still looks and plays better than a lot of the new stuff coming out now.
The gold edition is great value for money. It contains resident evil 5 game plus ALL the DLC (downloadable content) all for around 13pounds. It would cost more than that to download the 2 extra levels included in the gold edition. That's before you take into account, versus mode, extra costumes and other content. So great value. I sold my original res evil 5 game for 8pounds to a friend and brought this for 13pounds, so for just over a fiver, i've got what would have cost me over 20pounds if i'd d/loaded it all from xbox live.
Now here's the snag, and the only reason i didnt give this a 5 * rating. Although you do get ALL the extras with this game. You get them in the form of a code which allows you to d/load it all for free. I know the PS3 blu rays hold more data so can easily have all the extra content on 1 disc, but it wouldn't have hurt to make the gold edition a 2disc game. I don't have broadband where i live but luckily my brother does, so i just pop round his and update and d/load everything i need. I know most people have broadband now but not everyone does. I think it is a bit misleading when you read all the "extras" that the gold edition offers and then find out you have to download it all. As i said, not a problem for most, but a real issue for some of us. Broadband is definatly taken for granted by those who can get it.
Other than that, can't fault it.
It says in the techinical details on that you need to be have an internet connection to download the free stuff
I've always been a big fan of Resident evil but I was cautious about 5 when it came along as it was so different to the previous entries but my worries were soon washed away. The controls are fantastic. The level design is great. The enemies are well designed and new ones are introduced as you get further on into the game adding more variety and challenge. there's even plenty of extra modes with multiplayer and the mercenaries mode. The only bad points are is the AI for your second character Shiva can be pretty bad on the harder settings but apart from that a terrific game. And it's even better in co-op. 18 quid is a bargain for this.
this is a very good installment in a great series of games,
