Despite Desperate Escape's well-crafted action sequences, I actually found myself missing the unique vibe of Lost in Nightmares. The dynamic between Jill and Josh isn't particularly thrilling, and the one-liners, banter and endearing kitsch are kept to a minimum. As made apparent by the comments on our last review, Resident Evil 5 has a loyal fan base, and if you liked everything about that game, this is a short but sweet extension.
