Desperate Escape takes the opposite approach to Lost in Nightmares in its action-heavy focus. Enemies are virtually limitless, but you also get the ammo and equipment necessary to deal with them. Progression is relatively straight forward: you have to find keys or, like in Chapter 4 of Separate Ways in Biohazard 4, bust down walls and doors with canons in order to advance.

The basic action is identical to the main RE5 game, though using Jill is a nice change of pace given her speed and flexibility. As we discovered in Mercenaries, she has an Ada-esque flair to her.

Many enemies from the main game make their returns: the Gatling Gun Majini, the Executioner, the Chainsaw Majini, and for some reason, even the microphone-wielding village chief dude.

There is no final boss battle per se, but there is a showdown very similar to Leon and Luis in the cabin in Biohazard 4. This time you are given the exact timing of your assault on a roof when lots of majini pouring in. Chainsaw Majini and Gatling Gun Majini also show up to make your life a living hell. I feel that the end of Desperate Escape gives you this sort of tension you didn't really feel in RE5, but felt tons of in RE4.

Regarding the story: After Chris and Sheva leave Jill, she collapses, but Josh finds her. Jill is actually a famous BSAA member, with Josh recognizing her right away. Josh and Jill contact another BSAA solider, Doug, who is piloting the chopper. After the boss battle, Doug essentially ends up as another Mike, a chopper pilot who in spite of helping the protagonist, gets blown up by a rocket. The chopper itself survives this time, though. :lol The only thing that didn't seem satisfying was that Jill collapses at the beginning, but they never revisit that particular plot point ever again.

Desperate Escape has what was missing from Lost in Nightmares: new cutscenes with tremendous production values. Capcom did a fantastic job making it. Capcom has managed to use DLC to honor the two games Biohazard 5 has strong ties to. Lost in Nightmares honors Biohazard 1, but Desperate Escape honors Biohazard 4 in such a huge way.

How long it is??

btw will you upload any cutscenes from DE on youtube??

I shouldn't have read, but i'm so glad i did! haha

Yeah, like Chris said, how long is it mate?

It took me about 80 minutes the first time, but it's definitely longer and more packed than Lost in Nightmares. I think faster runs should clock in around 30 minutes, perhaps less. It's definitely longer than every chapter in the maingame except for perhaps 5-3.

I don't know if the whole Biohazard fanbase realized it before me, but the name Desperate Escape is a throwback to Biohazard 3: Last Escape. I guess in some relatively superficial ways, the ending of Desperate Escape is similar to the ending of Biohazard 3. Just replace Carlos with Josh, and Barry with Doug, but Doug gets killed instead of surviving.

I guess the icing on the cake would have been the Nemesis being the final boss, but that would make zero sense.

Wait a minute, you have it, how?

for what I saw in the trailer, it appears that towards the end Josh is almost dragging Jill, guess that explains why she didnt use the Rocket Launcher at the end

Amazing news cvx, thanks very much.Japan baby.

It looks Much more Awesome that what I thought

Oh, I didnt paid atention to the DLC dates(as I wont get it on the good side I didnt got over excited)

Nice one for this mate. I'm not too bothered about spoiling myself for this one as I doubt there are any major revalations to be had. Are there any new files in this at all?

Sounds great. Thanks for the info cvx!
