Official description

In Resident Evil 5, returning hero Chris Redfield is sent to Africa to investigate a biological weapon that is transforming the populace into aggressive and disturbing creatures. Joined by another local BSAA agent, Sheva Alomar, the two must work together to solve the truth behind the frightening turn of events. Featuring a revolutionary new co-op mode of gameplay, Resident Evil 5 will let players experience fear together as terror moves out of the shadows and into the light of day. The PC version of Resident Evil 5 features online play for co-operative play sessions over the internet and will also take advantage of NVIDIA’s new GeForce 3D Vision technology.

RE5 sees the return of Las Plagas and some even older monsters as well as some completely new.

cooperation - minimal; most commonly you just have to wait for the other player at the exit if they're far away. Seen with Chris helping Sheva reach higher ground, or one of the characters holding a door open while the other goes through and unblocks another route for the first character (happens several times). Besides those there's very little.
newgame+ - unlocks mercenaries mode (survival mode) and allows playing the story as Sheva, possibly some other changes as well.
limited capacity - 9 item slots per character, only ammo and grenades can be stacked (and even them in very limited manner), body armor peculiarly takes item slots and stacking is limited vaguely by item usefulness, not size.
distorted vision - getting caught in your own flash grenades has this effect at least
