• Additionally, the Gold Edition includes four new costumes, Mercenaries mode with eight playable characters, items, and maps, as well as, the Versus mode.

Gameplay

In the game you play from a third-person view, the over the shoulder perspective adds a different approach to the gameplay. Players can use various weapons to fight the opponents from handguns, shotguns and sniper rifles to melee weapons and grenades. The weapons can be upgraded with gold collected during the game.

Comparing RE5 to the RE4 the game has implemented considerable changes such as infected opponents wielding guns and grenades. Now you can upgrade your weapons right at the spot from your inventory as well as equip items in real-time gameplay. Every player just as in the previous game, has 9 slots in the equipment, however, this time each item takes the same amount of space which makes the management much easier.
