    i won't right too much on this, because there isn't much to say. I had hoped for more, but this game isn't very good. the only thing i liked was the gamepad features were pretty awesome. To be fair, i haven't really cared for any of the Resident Evil games. I thought the controls weren't very good, i don't know why exactly but they didn't feel right to me. Poor developing is all i have toi won't right too much on this, because there isn't much to say.

    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. But theres not and it basically moves on two speeds. Also there is no way to trim it like tilting theGraphics are nice for a 3ds port, dont know why some are bashing them.

    If youre a RE fan you could do alot worse IF your used to these kinds of controls or play it on pc with a mouse. But this was just borderlining unplayable.    … Expand

    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.

    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    There is not much good to say about this game.

    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.
