    I enjoyed this game for the most part. It is great to see the Wii U's system capabilities with controls, graphics, and extra features (gamepad). This would have won my No. 1 spot if it was local co-op. But the story line is great; cheesy charactors compared to Leon, Claire, Wesker, etc. Raid mode was good, only thing i had a problem with was if one player is stronger or has beenI enjoyed this game for the most part.

Raid mode could be, with the wrong partner, one sided. Other than that, i enjoyed the story mode and trying to get all the trophies.

    A great port of a great game. A little rough around the edges (it's a mobile port after all) but looks great most of the time.

    This is what veteran resident evil fans have been waiting for....a return to true survival horror! after resident evil 5 and silent hill downpour(i love resident evil 6) i was sure that true survival horror games had died but capcom has answered the call(FINALLY) As a fan of R.E 0 up to code veronica this games will instantly hit home with fans of the series from the slow pacing story downThis is what veteran resident evil fans have been waiting for....a return to true survival horror! after resident evil 5 and silent hill downpour(i love resident evil 6) i was sure that true survival horror games had died but capcom has answered the call(FINALLY) As a fan of R.E 0 up to code veronica this games will instantly hit home with fans of the series from the slow pacing story down to the few BUT tough enemy encounters...the queen zenobia is very reminiscent of R.E 1 mansion as you look for keys..maps and items to help you through each part of the ship. Just to some up all thats good in this DS port, if you love classic survival horror,then this game is directly aimed at you but if you prefer something more fast paced then you should skip this one but i assure you that your missing a classic. the wii u tablet works great but for all the people that says control takes getting used to..let me explain what that means..i have a ps3 and as such im used to it's controller so when i played R.E. R i wasn't used to the wii u tablet and it felt awkward but once i spent so time adjusting to the wii u tablet i was blasting away all enemies with prejudice with ease. This is my first wii u game and review and i assure gamers out there thats curious or doubtful about the wii u tablet..IT WORKS PERFECTLY. Now the bad: if you played the 3DS version there's no reason to pick this up unless you want to play it in HD, the dodge is kinda unpredictable but thats about the worst i can say about it so other than that do yourself a favor and pick this up today people. 9/10… Expand

    This game is just great! It's kind of a best of Resident Evil to me. It has got a great story, atmospheric horror-parts and some action-sections as well. It just feels right and i would recommend this to everyone who likes Resident Evil at all. The lack of high-end graphics is not too bad as it looks great still (IMO).

    The only bad thing is, that the bosses might be a little too hard for unexperienced players (I had a hard time as well) and you can only switch the difficulty level at the begin of the campaign... But that is just some real classic approach we all were used to some years before.

    Some words to the wii u version: It feels great to play on the wii u. The touchscreen is used pretty well and controls feel okay. So it's for sure the version to take if you have the possibility    … Expand

    This is one of the best resident evil games. Ammo is limited and you will have to play smart to survive. Raid mode is great for players that finished the game and still want the feeling of being trapped in a ghost ship.
    It would be my favorite if it had wii remote support, but still a great game.

    Great remake of a best selling 3DS game had finally started for every Resident Evil fans. The storyline was very good, graphics came out nice. As of Infernal difficulty, it's extremely harder for first timers or a hardcore Resident Evil fans. Raid Mode is still great experience! Resident Evil Revelations on Wii U still a great successful remake.

    Graphics are nice for a 3ds port, dont know why some are bashing them. I like the real-time inventory too, fast and easy to use. The part where it fails to impress me are the controls, in particular the aiming. If there where some finesse to the analog-stick aiming it would be forgivable.

    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.

    Resident Evil: Revelations is a welcome return to form for the survival-horror pioneer after the blockbuster action installments of 4, 5, and 6. The graphics, gameplay, and enemy design do seem a little dated but the claustrophobic and murky atmosphere of the setting imbues the game with a distinct personality.

    Excellent version of this game for the Nintendo system. Good dose of scary action and puzzles to get you going. Good use of the dual screen. Nothing bad to say about this version. If you see it at a good price and you have a 'wii u' on your property, don't hesitate.

    There is not much good to say about this game. The graphics look good in some parts, but in other parts they look washed out and horrible. It seems the developers clustered the game in parts and sometimes you play the well made parts and sometimes the bad parts of junior developers.

    The worst in the Wii U version are the controls. The game consists of jump scares and quick reactions, but the controls fight you in every step of the way. You cannot even adjust the turning speed. So you aim and move slow like a drunken slug, but the enemies just run at you in erratic movements, making aim sometimes a real challenge. If you miss too much, they swarm you and hack you to pieces. And that ladies and gentleman, is the main game mechanic. There is nothing else besides as I said the occasional well made surroundings to look at.
    The story and cutscenes are a mess in every way. In conclusion: stay clear of this game.    … Expand

    For those that already own this game on the 3DS, it's pretty tough whether or not to recommend the game to them. If they do want to play through a new challenge though, the Infernal difficulty offers a true hardcore experience. However, to those who don't own a 3DS, this is their chance to pick up the definitive version of the game.

    Resident Evil: Revelations has a few flaws, but it really is the best game in the series since Resident Evil 4.

    A solid port from the original 3DS game that works much better than expected.
