    This second DLC for RE 5 features Jill Valentine and Joss Stone. It takes place after Jill is rescued from mind control by Chris Redfield. Unlike "Lost in Nightmares", this brief chapter emphasizes fast-paced action. You must get from Point A to Point Z while defending yourself from an onslaught of attackers. If you liked the shooting aspect of the base game than you'll like this.This second DLC for RE 5 features Jill Valentine and Joss Stone.

"Desperate Escape" is quite challenging since the enemies are relentless. The DLC also includes extra characters for the Mercenaries mode. Overall, I would rate this with a 7.6 out of 10.… Expand

    Despite Desperate Escape being little more than a rehash of any number of Resident Evil 5's levels, this is still a hugely enjoyable example of why DLC has become a vital part of the gaming landscape.

    All in all, Desperate Escape is a pretty fun experience, but brings nothing new to the table. Gamers who were turned off by Resident Evil 5’s excessive use of force won’t find anything to sway them here, but action fans will love it all the same.

    Despite Desperate Escape's well-crafted action sequences, I actually found myself missing the unique vibe of Lost in Nightmares.
