Just in case you were aching for more Resident Evil 5, have no fear, because the newest DLC, Desperate Escape is now available for download on the Xbox Live Marketplace and the Playstation Network! If you played the first DLC episode, Lost in Nightmares, you are in for a thrill ride. In Desperate Escape, you take the roles of Jill Valentine and Josh Stone and chronicle their truly desperate escape from the TriCell facility. The DLC takes place right after Chris and Sheva have freed Jill of the mind control device. Chris and Sheva race off to catch up with Wesker and we watch as Jill passes out. Josh Stone finds her and together they team up to escape the facility and race to Chris and Sheva’s aid in the final battle against Wesker.
This episode is completely different from Lost in Nightmares. It is relentless and incredibly awesome. The Majini keep on coming and if you are not careful, you may find yourself with little to no ammo very early in the game. There are plenty of places to find ammo, health, and new weapons, however, you will want to conserve as much as you possibly can especially early on in the level. It is even more imperative that you work together as a team, if you are playing local or the online co-op. There are no medals to collect however there are are plenty of score stars to help add to your overall level score.
If killing Majini’s is your thing, this is definitely the DLC for you. At the completion of our first run through, we had killed over 300 enemies which is a ton more than any level in the regular game. It is the most intense level of Resident Evil 5 in the whole game for sure. You will face a lot of familiar enemies including the Executioner and Chainsaw Majini.
There are five achievements added to the game for an additional 100GS. With the Desperate Escape DLC you also get two more playable characters in The Mercenaries Reunion. You will now be able to play Rebecca Chambers from Resident Evil 0 and Josh Stone from RE5. In addition to the DLC release comes Character Pack #2 (purchased separately) which includes the “Heavy Metal” outfit for Chris and the “Business” outfit for Sheva, both of which add some new flair to the game-play and the cut scenes. If you purchase this, you will also get “Heavy Metal” Chris and “Business” Sheva as playable characters in The Mercenaries Reunion.
Desperate Escape is a must-have DLC for fans of the Resident Evil 5 game as it helps round out the overall story. Also, if you want a good solid hour or two of intense zombie killing, then you should download this episode as well. There really isn’t a moment to relax and that’s what makes this DLC so much fun.
Resident Evil 5: Desperate Escape is available now on the XBL Marketplace for 400 MSP and the PSN Store for $4.99. Costume Pack #2 is available for 160 MSP/$1.99. Costume Pack #2 includes the Chris Redfield Heavy Metal costume and the Business costume for Sheva Alomar.
