Resident Evil: Revelations - Game Informer review details
Resident Evil: Revelations - 9 out of 10
- Delivers a console-caliber Resident Evil experience on a handheld
- Rich animations, detailed environments and solid cutscenes make this a visual stunner
- Some of the best music in the series, and disturbing monster noises help get you into the game
- Controls just as smoothly as its console predecessors, and the slick new dodge mechanic makes it even better
- A perfect blend of action and survival are driven home by a gripping episodic narrative that will have you struggling to put down your 3DS
- A story that puts the last two main series entries to shame
"Since its inception in 1996, the Resident Evil series has gradually mutated from the eerie, slow-paced horror into a guns-blazing, explosion-riddled blockbuster. Resident Evil Revelations, the newest worthwhile title for 3DS, improves the fantastic gameplay established by recent entries while rekindling the dread and survival from the earlier games. Jill and Chris' latest ordeal is the most satisfying Resident Evil experience we've played in years.
What about the circle pad? Personally, I didn't experience one moment in the game that left me wanting for an extra circle pad.
The D-Pad is used to switch between all your items, a simple but useful addition when cornered by a pack of zombies. My favorite addition is the dodge ability. One well timed flick of the circle pad lets you evade enemy attacks. Out maneuvering monsters is priceless in a game where choosing your battles is both crucial and fun. Revelations also incorporates deep weapon customization in the vein of Call of Duty. Want a shotgun with augmented power, a wider spread, and gigantic clip size? No problem. Considering how precious ammo can be, tailoring weapons to your specific play style is a dream come true for survival horror fans."
