Depends on the Co-Op really, RE5 was a horrible game and the Co-Op part was part of the reason it sucked so hard. Every game that ads another human player makes the game just a bit easier, two humans are smarter then one or one and a bot. This isn't a game killer for survival games but it can remove some of the horror and scares, why worry about that monster jumping out from the cupboard and munching on your neck your mate will just smack it off you.
However when done right you will both be running around begging each other for help and dividing your ammo and health out carefully. But time and thought has to go into this idea not just a last minute slap on to add some new feature to your game. And even more thought into having solo and Co-Op in the same game cause if you make it nice and hard for two humans that bot better be real good or you better lighten up the difficultly if you want just one human to play it.
Obscure is a pretty good attempt at making that kind of game, sadly it has its faults. And the 2nd has more faults from what I remember and the story was way out there. One day they could make the good survival horror with Co-Op.
