Resident Evil 5: Lost in Nightmares

All in all, a decent package for Resident Evil 5 fans, especially those who have a partner to tackle Lost In Nightmares with.

The price is right for this expansion ... it's the length that is all wrong.

It's not bad, per say, there just isn't enough of it. The inclusion of new characters for Mercenaries mode is good, but hardly worth picking up the pack for, unless, again, you happen to be a complete loyalist to the series.

There’s no compelling reason to download this episode by itself—and this limp-wristed return to horror leaves a lot to be desired.

Although the look and feel of Resident Evi 5's new chapter is really close to those of the first adventures of the saga, it lacks the action, the riddles and the spirit of the best Resident Evil stories. The new Mercenaries Reunion mode is merely the addition of a few fighters and we still miss some of our favourite characters. At least the price is not expensive, and the adventure fills an important gap, although we already knew almost everything of what it happened in the Spencer Estate.

With a campaign chapter lasting about an hour, and only two of the eight Mercenaries Reunion characters available with it, Lost in Nightmares feels like a paper thin package. Truth be told, Mercenaries fans may find enough to love this DLC, but gamers looking solely for a good story mission will feel short-changed.
