You have an extremely good point, and the problem for me with File 2 is, if you're offline, which you have to be now, I've never had the chance to play online, the levels are EXTREMELY difficult even on Hard. Worse than Very Hard, on File 1. File 2's levels are hard because of the lack of teamwork since your AIs are a bunch of retards.
They
A) Stand next to you ALWAYS, pick the worst weapons, and never fight. Or
B) Steal the BEST weapons, and run away from you, accomplishing nothing. At least in File 1 when David and Alyssa went AWOL on me, they made up for it by bringing me plot/level items!
File 1 could be played online or offline. File 2 RELIES on someone to come and save you if you get bit by a zombie, since two or three bites makes you hit the ground.
As for voices, those were a big problem for me. In File 2 they got a bit distracting. I didn't notice many differences, but Cindy, Jim, and David really got to me. As if Cindy and Jim-my-life-is-shit couldn't get any worse, they did. "Somebody HELP me."
I almost prefer David's 'Rorschach' voice to his dull(REALLY dull) one in File 2. Neither was good, but I'm more inclined to prefer a sound-a-like of the voice of an insane epic vigilante than...some guy. Sure File 2 had more cutscenes/lines and his voice there is more believeable, but you've got a badass-normal guy with a normal guy's voice, it doesn't work so much here.
And to be quite honest, all of the character's voices in File 2 did this imo. These are normal everyday people in a zombie outbreak. Wake up voice actors, emote more. David-the-stoic is one case, but Geroge, Kevin, Cindy, everyone else sounded bored.
I myself prefer EotR to Decisions Decisions. You went to a few different places, but had to figure out where the hell you were. I kept getting lost with the two 'kill Mr. X or not' paths you could take when meeting up with Linda. If this wasn't bad enough you've got snipers, landmines, mutated Mr. X, helicopter time limit, zombies, and Nyx to deal with. The character epilogues here were much more satisfying too. Everyone separately, after Raccoon City. It makes me wonder where everyone is and what they're doing. God I would love it if one or more than one of them actually came back and got involved in the main plot. *Only in my dreams*
