Resident Evil: Revelations shows the potential that lies in Nintendos new handheld console. The story itself is masterfully told inepisodes, and the game has the best sound I've experienced on a 3DS sofar. The controls, however, seem a bit too stiff, but in a way thatalso enhanced the general claustrophobic atmosphere in the game.

Best parts of survival action are horror moments and online cooperation. RE: Revelations show the potential of 3DS in full scale. [Feb 2012]

Revelations is not a milestone in the series, is not brilliant, but it is very competent, both technically and conceptually, and has something that the series is really needed: personality. This is the time to Resident Evil stop and think where to go. Revelations is a step in the right direction. One single step.

actually had a really great time with this. nice seeing characters like chris and jill again. the story is interesting and does a great job at building up the world in which these games actually take place. the gameplay is solid. nothing incredible but nothing too annoying. some great boss fights here too. love that final fight a lot.

While survival-horror definitely isn't my best genre, Resident Evil: Revelations is easily one of the best 3DS games I've played to date. Just about any frustrations I've come across is due to my own lack of skill and experience with the franchise as a whole. If you're a Resident Evil fan with a 3DS, this is definitely one to pick up.

Despite these few setbacks, however, Resident Evil: Revelations is an impressive game that's great fun. Though its contribution to the larger mythos is inconsequential, the game's story mode presents a good challenge and some genuinely hair-raising moments, and Raid Mode is fun, addictive, and rewarding.

This game is amazing. The campaign is fun the characters are likeable and the atmosphere is perfect. The raid mode side game is perfect and extremely fun to play. One of my favorite games then, still one of my favorites now

Dark, terrifying and brilliantly exciting, Revelations is a triumph on 3DS. [Feb 2012, p.89]

Resident Evil Revelations mixes action with adventure, partially returning to the origins of the series. It is a must-have for console owners, and one of the pinnacles of visual quality we've seen so far in the Nintendo 3DS. It also has a very good story which will please fans of the saga eager to know more about Umbrella, zombies, an the STARS team.

There are some issues in the way of variety with enemies, and some missed opportunities for serious survival-horror scares, but on the whole it's still one of the stronger Resi releases we've seen in a while. Definitely worth more than a look in.

Revelations remains as resolutely rock hard to play as ever, with an emphasis on slow forward motion that makes the 3DS's spongy analogue pad feel all the more frustrating.

Handheld editions of big console titles often feel like straight to video sequels – looking the part but lacking the polish – and Revelations is no different. It nails the atmosphere in its hybrid design, but those crucial sparks of brilliance that make the series so great, no matter which of its eras you prefer… they're as rare as a single use rocket launcher.

Прошёл resident evil revelations на эмуле 3ds (citra). Люблю резики, в особенности 4й, а revelations это нечто среднее между 4кой и 5кой и мне по итогу зашло даже больше 5го резика. Геймплей медленный, размеренный, очень много постепенного исследования, однако вся игра происходит в закрытых коридорных пространствах, что не так уж и плохо на самом деле. Стрельба не изменилась, однако темп снизился особенно на фоне 5ки где максимальный экшон, мест где на экране больше 3х противников почти нет. Локации очень атмосферные, основная часть игры это заброшенный корабль со всеми сопутствующими фишками. Однако, со второй половины игра очень сильно проседает, появляется огромное количество невероятно душных подводных отрезков + непонятных моментов на уровне 5й части где тебя сажают за стационарный пулемёт, это прям совсем нечто невнятное. Графика и технологичность для платформы 3ds – топ, и в целом это нереальный подарок для портативной консоли, игра есть на пк но за него не ручаюсь. В целом все фичи предыдущих частей присутствуют, сюжет на уровне 5й части, но даже в лучших частях резика он был на уровне Зельды, так что похуй. Я очень советую тем кому зашел 5й резик, для портативки это нечто сверх крутое, но если бы я играл в такое на компе то поставил бы 7 а то и 7.5 (но я фанат резиков об этом следует помнить).

Resident Evil: Revelations is a solid handheld spinoff of the classic franchise, though the HD remaster doesn't hold up quite as strongly on console when compared to some of its recent console siblings. Still, of all of Capcom's efforts to make "Resident Evil on the go", Revelations on the 3DS is far and away their most successful attempt.

Resident Evil Revelations is a poor attempt at returning the series to it's survival horror roots. From slow paced game play to the inability to see your own health bar, it's a mere spin-off that cashes in on the series' popularity instead of providing a fun filled experience.

Not quite what I thought it would be This is a title many people including myself have been waiting for for a long time. It promises an almost console like experience and to some extent it does deliver that, although it has it's flaws. The Good Graphically decent, probably the 2nd best looking 3ds game so far (second to Mario Kart 7 which looks phenomenal) Sound design is awesome, play this wearing a decent pair of headphones to get the most of out the sound. The 3ds speakers don't do it justice. The luxury cruise ship Queen Zenobia is a decent setting although has been done before in Resident Evil Gaiden. Unlockables and costumes to collect. Almost returns to the franchises routes with some scares and backtracking to return to newly accessible areas. Weapon upgrade system works well and is fun to experiment with. Good pacing, not always solving puzzles or shooting monsters. Play as the old favourite reoccurring characters. Raid mode is decent alone. You can move while shooting now. You may like or dislike this. Good length. Took me about 10 hours to finish the campaign. Many medals to unlock (sort of like achievements/trophies) The Bad The game teases you as you get a bit of old school corridor exploration like in the earlier games but in the style at Resident Evil 4-5. This would be a good thing but on too many occasions the game resorts to throwing waves of enemies at you and almost becomes a bad third person shooter. The story is laughably bad. Terragrigia? Veltro? Why is Capcom introducing more needless rubbish to an already convoluted franchise? The new characters are pointless, annoying and add nothing to the franchise. Why not give us a game with Billy or Barry? Nobody wants "Jackass", "Grinder" and "Jessica" The dialogue is cringeworthy even by Japanese standards. It's so bad it rivals the first games except it's not in any way amusing. Every time a bit of tension builds the game takes you away from the action and forces you to play a lame third person shooter. By the second episode you will have mowed down more Hunters than in every other Resident Evil game combined. It's not fun and it adds nothing. Limited ammo and herb carrying capability. You can carry 40 bullets and 5 herbs at first until later where you can find bags to hold more. You have to leave most ammo behind which is annoying. They removed the item management system, all you have to do is select your weapon loadouts at weapon chests. This may actually be a good thing depending on your preference. The bosses and enemies are really generic and actually make you laugh more than they scare you. The first and second bosses in particular are just stupid. The Genesis. You can scan enemies with this which basically fills a bar. Once the bar is filled you get a green herb, which you won't need more than likely. Also you can use the genesis to scan rooms for hidden items. Doesn't add anything and just slows the game down. Haven't been to able to connect to a multiplayer Raid game. Horrendous lag when a new area is loading. Instead of getting a "now loading" screen the game carries on but the frame rate drops to 2fps and the game stutters like crazy totally removing the point of having invisible loading screens (to avoid breaking immersion). While the sound is good when there is many explosions and gunfire the 3DS speakers distort like crazy. I use headphones most of the time but if you allow the speakers to distort like that they WILL break. Load times are ridiculous for a cartridge based game. I know the game is probably heavily compressed to fit on the cart but it's still pretty poor. Ridiculous circle pad pro add on I refuse to buy makes the game control better apparently. The controls are pretty stiff without but manageable. I'm a total Resident Evil fan having completed the previous games many times, Resident Evil 2 and 4 I have probably finished 20-30 times each. I can honestly say this one will never be replayed and I was kind of glad it finished when it did. However it's still a decent game on a system without too many must have titles and I would recommend it at a lower price.
