Resident Evil 5′s 2nd DLC titled Desperate Escape has been released and since I got the first one, I figure I might as well get the second one. The DLC is 5 dollars and shows the events that transpired after Chris and Sheva saved Jill, how she managed to meet with Josh Stone, and how they grabbed a chopper to rescue you. A new area will be open to you when you meet up, the harbor at which the boat was docked. You will travel through this harbor that ends up being like a mini fortress full of old foes that you will encounter. Chainsaws, Axes, Snipers, Gatling Guns for everyone! There will a lot of enemies to kill in this DLC that feel like they just keep coming no matter what you do. It adds some more of the helpless feeling making your escape…well, desperate. Depending on the difficulty, it can take around 1 to 2 hours to complete.
You will be getting some new achievements with this DLC as well as some new characters for Mercenaries: Reunion. You will receive Rebecca Chambers and Josh Stone for free. The reunion mode is the same as the original mode but with different characters. You can also now buy Heavy Warrior Chris and Business Sheva character pack if you would like. Each with their own moves and weapons, but the same maps still apply.
Overall, I like this DLC more so than the Lost in Nightmares. I feel like this action packed sequence brings back the Resident Evil 4 days a bit. You don’t need Lost in Nightmares to play this one so you can buy them in any order. If you like Resident Evil 5 though, chances are you will want both. I recommend this one over Lost in Nightmares.
Pros:
+ New Achievements and Cheap
+ New Area, New Characters / Mode
+ Gives you a helpless feeling
Cons:
- Short
- You can’t save
