This game is essentially a HD version of RE4 with a co-op (2 player) online or AI (computer controlled) partner. This game is best with another player controlling Sheva but its perfectly fine as a single player game too. This Gold Edition re-release includes the following:
Lost in Nightmares bonus mission
Desperate Escape bonus mission
Mercenaries Reunion battle game
Barry Burton, Rebecca Chambers and Excella Gionne as playable characters in Mercenaries Reunion mode.
4 new costumes (2 for Sheva and 2 for Chris)
Extra in game figures to collect
Online player vs player Versus mode.
Overall this is a very good deal for those that passed on the original release.
