In the epic finale, she can be downright irritating to deal with. Sometimes, she'll follow you around when all you want to do is flank a pack of infected foot soldiers. During a few big showdowns in the last chapter she stood away from a cover point and left herself susceptible to huge damage. Think of her as a companion who matches your skills, every step of the way.Īlthough AI-controlled Sheva's mostly a great help, she can become a bit of a hindrance toward the end of the game. Since she holds the same amount of inventory as Chris, you can save a few health or ammo slots by safekeeping items with her. Plus, you have control over how much she goes on the offensive, or how conservatively she attacks. She never stole a cover point or sorely-needed ammo. In my single-player run, I experienced fewer problems with the AI-controlled Sheva than I had with, say, Dom in Gears of War 2. It's important to delineate the difference between the single-player and co-op experience, since plenty of people will play a solo game at least once. In co-op, the host plays as Chris, and the second player takes on Sheva's role. In single-player, you'll step into Chris' shoes, and an AI-controlled Sheva fights alongside you. Whether you're playing alone or with a friend, RE5 is an action-packed, nerve-racking rollercoaster ride.
