The fact that this is the first time co-op has been done in the franchise is all the more impressive to me. Yes, Sheva in AI mode is a pain in the ass at times. She can have the unlimited magnum but keeps the hand gun equipped. Take it away, she equips the stun gun! I have to take EVERYTHING away from her to make her usable in the game.

Don’t give her first aid sprays either, she uses them at the first sign of trouble!

RE5 took a while to grow on me. My little brain is so trained on the COD or Halo control scheme, that I took a couple of hours for me to get the hang of RE controls. That, and I’m old now . . . so my reflexes have slowed. 8- )

I do have to say that the Co-Op feature is the best thing about the game so far to me. I mean . . . I get the story, but am a little lost (as this is the first RE game I’ve played). The graphics are good (almost amazing in a few places). The sound is very realistic (the detail of material specific sounds, especially in the cut scenes, is astounding). The gameplay mechanic is a bit different, but I got use to it quickly. But the game being totally tailored to a Co-Op experience just shines through the entire time to me. In fact, I dont make it very far with the AI teammate at all.

Having a teammate that has unlocked the Magnum is very helpful indeed !

Very strange that is.
