  • Summary: (Downloadable Content) This is the first installment of new content for RESIDENT EVIL 5. During the main story of RESIDENT EVIL 5, Chris Redfield alludes to a mission where he lost his partner Jill during a conversation with Sheva. Now you can find out what happened during that mission at Spencer's estate. This package also allows you to unlock two new characters in the all-new The Mercenaries Reunion. Play as one of the unsung heroes of the original RESIDENT EVIL, Barry Burton, or step into the designer-made high heels of one of RESIDENT EVIL's newest villains, Excella Gionne. There are also additional figures available in Extra Figures to round out this action-packed package.… Expand

    The throwback to classic RE featured in the Mansion and Underground sequence is a nice change of pace from the rest of RE5, and while the story revelations aren't earth shattering, there's enough revealed that lore hounds will find something interesting.

    Lost in Nightmares was constructed specifically for the Resident Evil fan base. It's a brief run, but it has enough call backs, in-jokes, and references to satisfy the legion of fans clamoring for a return to the series roots.

    Lost in Nightmares was fu*king awesome. Classic RE and nothing like RE5 except the graphics engine. LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. It's like a demo of what possible future RE's should be like. Return to the roots. Lost in Nightmares was short yes, but at $5 it's hard to complain. I'd give it a perfect 10 if they fixed the door opening transitions.… Expand

    Lost in Nightmares chronicles Chis and Jill's return to the mansion from the 1st RE. It is short on action and heavy on fetch this key to this puzzle type quests. The enemies consist of a few zombies which lie on the ground and grab you as you walk by, and the big hulking guy with an axe that moves slowly and has an eye thing you have to shoot on his back. I killed a total of 8 enemies and 2 enemy types on playthrough. The final boss to the chapter is Wesker who is an anoying QTE trigger event boss, he beats you up, wait for QTE, run around, rinse, repeat. Playtime was roughly 1 hour. The environment of the revisited Mansion was done extremely well, it looks cool has a nice ambiance and music. The puzzles and enemies are a total let down. The files you come across in the mansion give some back story. The weapons you acquire aren't used much and can't upgrade as this is only one chapter. There are a few unlockables after play through including a Professional mode, gumball statue figures and the option to play as Jill. Buying the content also unlocks Mercenaries Reunion a completely separate set of the Mercs trials from the main Mercs mode. Its characters consist of only Barry and Excella, you can unlock other Mercs R. characters by buying the other DLC costumes. I have no idea why Capcom wouldn't just modify the original Mercs campaign to include the new characters, maybe it involved too much coding/patching. Not doing so is a disappointment, the option of just the 2 characters sucks and you have to start out at the village and unlock all the other stages. It would have been ideal to have these characters and the other DLC costumes added to the Versus mode as well, but it didn't happen. So is it worth 5 bucks? Maybe, it depends on how much you like RE. I had a good time playing through it but am still on the fence about the value. I played through the campaign once and multiple stages of Mercs Reunion with both characters.… Expand

    This is the expansion pack for Resident evil 5. Replayability is not high as there is not much shooting. There is only one enemy. The level design is still pretty fun. Pros: -The mansion exploration was good Cons: - You defeat the same enemy over and over. This is kind of unacceptable. If you love Resident Evil 5, then you already have this expansion. if you only buy one, get the other one, as it has more shooting and a higher difficulty.… Expand
