Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition (Playstation 3)
Previously only seen during cut scenes of the original RESIDENT EVIL 5, the first new episode titled “LOST IN NIGHTMARES”, finds BSAA agent, Chris Redfield, working with his partner, Jill Valentine, as they investigate Ozwell E. Spencer’s hideaway. Spencer, the evil mastermind and co-founder of Umbrella Corporation, has been hiding a new evil deep within the basement of his mansion. Chris and Jill discover this grotesque evil standing in their way as the two enter deeper into the catacombs beneath the mansion. Simultaneous with the release of “LOST IN NIGHTMARES”, new costumes for Chris and Sheva will be made available, allowing the player to experience RESIDENT EVIL 5 with a fresh new look and feel through both game play and cut-scene playback. A new refresh of Mercenaries Mode, “ THE MERCENARIES REUNION”, gives players new playable characters and weapon load outs which provide players additional challenges as they aim to shoot down as many enemies as they can within a limited time. Each piece of downloadable content will contain two new playable characters. The GOLD EDITION will feature all eight.
Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition (Playstation 3) Reviews
note: just found out that gold edition is compatible with the playstation move.
Fun game,
Contrary to popular belief, Online versus mode (multiplayer) is fun. Even though You can't run in gun, Resident Evil 5 makes it still fun. The way it works around the typical run and gun is while your fighting each other, zombies are attacking both of you. So one second you're aiming at your opponent and a zombie stabs you. It's really fun.
Story is perfect
Mercenaries & Mercenaries Reunion is awesome
lost in nightmare is really fun and goes old school for us
Desperate Escape is crazy hard but fun
fun game, interesting story, and great replay value
Recommendation: play harder difficulties after beating one difficulty

After buying the Limited Edition, I was a little bitter about this release. But after selling it and purchasing this edition, I don't regret it. All content released for the Game is on the disc and I pretty much prefer that than having it take up HD space. Since my old save file still works, I can't complain.
If you haven't gotten the game yet, Definitely get this version. The reason why I like this version is because I'm an Old School Resident Evil Fan. While Sheva is cool and all, I prefer Jill on my cover. Not only is she the star of this edition, she's my favorite character in the series. I'm weird like that. The Limited Edition Metal Case didn't do it for me after owning it for awhile. It kind of bothered me that the design started to make me think they just paid a 5 year old kid to scribble on it. Plus I didn't like the idea to put Chris and Sheva on the back while the Five was in the Front. Basically I was disappointed with it and didn't mind replacing it with this version.
When referring to the game, I actually found the 2 Extra Bonus Chapters to be more enjoyable than the actual title itself. Not saying that the main game is bad. Just saying that these two chapters do a better job of invoking the feelings I thought Resident Evil 5 could have done better. Lost in Nightmares has the old school scary Resident Evil vibe we all know and love. It's what Resident Evil 5 should have been. My only gripes are that I wish it was longer and had more enemies, but it definitely fills the void for those who miss the old titles and not being able to play as Jill in the main game. Desperate Escape is the more action oriented chapter of the 2. Not scary, but intense. More intense than the main game. These two extra editions did better in those fields in a small chunk.
Things to know. Old Save File still works and Original Game Install is no longer needed. Game has a New install for all the content at 6GB, so you can delete the original Data of 5GB. 1 extra GB, no big deal. If you don't want to buy, there's a complete bundle on PSN for 12.49. Just know you're missing out on a Cool Slip cover with Chris and Jill on it. So that's my two cents. If you haven't gotten it yet, this is the Definitive Version.

Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition is the total package for the action survival horror game. Since the original Resident Evil 5 didn't have all the DLC, the gold edition has every DLC that Capcom released for Resident Evil 5 and put it all in one game. The price is cheap and the game includes..
- The Resident Evil 5 Story
- The Mercenaries
- Lost In Nightmare DLC (Chris and Jill's trip to Ozwell E. Spencer Mansion)
- Desperate Escape DLC (Jill's and Josh escape from the Tricell Facility)
- Versus Mode DLC (Slayers, Survivors, Team Slayers, and Team Survivors)
- Mercenaries Reunion (Includes two new costumes for Chris and Sheva. Rebecca Chambers, Barry Burton, Excella Ginnoe and Josh Stone are also playable in reunion)
- New Toy figures
- The two new costumes for Chris and Sheva can now be used in Story mode.
Yes the game is action survival horror but, the extras that the game provides will keep you entertain and will blow your mind.
