Manufacturer's Description
Resident Evil Revelations heralds a return to classic Resident Evil gameplay and is packed with terrifying moments and an intense canon storyline, all in stunning 3D. Set in 2005, Resident Evil Revelations contains new content that answers questions and reveals truths from the main Resident Evil storyline between Resident Evil 4™ and Resident Evil 5™.
The all new narrative builds tension and the fast paced action delivers a constant fear of the unknown, all brought to life in 3D. With a mix of favourite faces, such as Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield, as well as mysterious new characters and enemies, you’ll be constantly wondering who to trust.
Jill and Chris, both members of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA), have new partners; Parker Luciani and Jessica Sherawat. Each team must investigate different angles of the bioterrorism threat in Europe at the same time as working out how their bioterrorist enemies are able to stay one step ahead of them.
Explore a variety of mountain and coastal locations as well as a dark and deserted ocean liner to discover the truth. With horrors and unknown threats around each corner, you’ll need nerves of steel to search claustrophobic rooms and caves.
Resident Evil Revelations has been specifically designed to make the best use of the Nintendo 3DS capabilities. Use the Touch Screen for quick, direct weapon selection and item usage while the shooting system has also been enhanced to bring you right into the game, allowing you to switch from third to first person perspective. The game is also compatible with the new slider pad, a second circle pad with two more shoulder buttons, enabling you to interact with the environments in new ways.
In true survival horror style, you’ll need to endure time-sensitive challenges, solve puzzles and escape deadly horrors, from sinking ships to zombie onslaughts. Utilise the Nintendo 3DS Touch Screen to crack puzzles and store items that don’t fit in your inventory as well as keeping track of locked doors you can’t yet open in the Game Notes. Armed with a Genesis Scanner, you can now analyse enemies as well as exploring areas and revealing hidden items.

Fun:
I'm going to keep this short and concise, this is not only one of the best games released on the 3DS thus far, it is also one of the best titles released in the last year or so. Resident Evil 5 was a fine game, but the emphasis on co-operative gameplay in the design, lending well to online play, to some extent made the single player campaign suffer. Not so here. Capcom have done an amazing job of creating a streamlined, atmospheric experience that is cleverly carved into episodic chunks to make it more amenable to playing on the move. The graphics they have managed to crank out of the machine on the Mobile MT Framework are fabulous - this little machine outclasses many Wii games in its massive, bombastic crescendo -- it is a contemporary visual experience. Stunning. And it has gameplay to match: this is somewhere between Resident Evil 4 and the first three games in terms of play-style. You might come to think of the Queen Zenobia as this games' Mansion, it has a fitting decor if so -- but the game takes place in many varied locales. Each chapter feels fresh. Its still not quite a full return to the puzzling and exploration of the very early games, but it certainly feels better than RE5 in that regard. The combat and perfectly poised difficulty will definitely leave you with that 'Survival horror' feeling at times. What many people might not bother to appreciate in these reviews is the sound design - it is beautiful. The faux surround sound is brilliant, both with and without headphones, and there are some genuinely creepy sound-bites that will crank up the tension as you move from one area of the ship to another, or as you approach a boss. All of it is accompanied by one of the best Resident Evil soundtracks in years. Once the single player mode is complete, the online co-operative Raid mode will give you hours, days and weeks of additional play-time, as you strive to upgrade your abilities, unlock new levels, weapons and characters. The 3D is amongst the best on the 3DS, with Capcom having been good enough as to include an extra option to boost the effect in the games' options menus. Played with gyro-controls for aiming works surprisingly well, turns in aiming requiring only subtle rotations of the device as though it were a steering wheel and only minor vertical movements necessary -- by enabling this control method in the options you can walk and shoot with ease, without having to buy the Circle Pad Pro peripheral! However, if you do choose to buy the peripheral, it does play exceptionally well with that. The extra buttons and ergonomically styled grip are perhaps more suited to long play-sessions.
If you're on the fence, get off it. This is a game nobody should miss, and I dare-say no-one should punish themselves by living in hope of a port either. A must have for your Nintendo 3DS and a true sign of the systems potential. Great work Capcom! Give us some more!

Fun:
I've been playing the game for more than an hour and so far I am very impressed. I haven't played a Resident Evil game before so I didn't know what to expect. The first thing you will notice is that this game has the best graphics on the 3ds so far. Actually, it probably has the best graphics on a handheld device.
The 3d effect is very good in my opinion, although I have read criticism on some forums. It has 3 levels of intensity: normal, strong and very strong. I prefer the highest setting.
The music in the game is also of high quality. Coupled with the graphics, cutscenes and voice acting, unpredictable scenes, the perfect horror-movie atmosphere is created. Yes, the game is very scary, you might want to play it with the lights on.
Overall the gameplay seems good, the story quite captivating and the difficulty probably above average. For those new to Resident Evil, it doesn't involve only monster shooting and surviving, but also some puzzle solving. For those who have played Silent Hill, it seems quite similar.
The only thing which I didn't like that much was the control. I can't say whether the controls are good or bad, but it took me a while to get used to them. I have the Circle Pad Pro, but I haven't tried it yet.
Anyway, these are just my first impressions so take this review with a pinch of salt. I would recommend this game, but maybe you should consider waiting for more opinions.

Fun:
First off, I have only played four episodes so far, (5 hours 11 minutes to be precise), although I have played enough games in the series, and video games in general to hopefully make an effective commentary. I have a penchant for this style of game and was looking forward to this.
The graphics really are excellent, definitely the best I have seen on the 3DS, and the 3D is great. Although I could not handle the very strong 3D setting, I used the next one down. There are a couple of frame rate issues mainly when doors opening are disguising loading times or when there are a lot of enemies on screen, but nothing that ruins the experience.
I personally think the only way to play this is in solitude when it is dark, lights off, and with headphones. It adds to the atmosphere enormously, and the sound is superb. The tension building music and effects are really nerve racking and complement the on screen action.
The controls are fine, I have the circle pad pro, but it isn't necessary to enjoy the game at all. Although when I tried it I couldn't assign different functions to different buttons/circle pads, it seems to just give you one unalterable default method. But if you have played Resident Evil before, the controls are more akin to the older games (1-3) then number four. Initially I thought the Genesis (the scanner item) was going to be a bug bear, but as you are always in need of ammo and get items for scanning monsters, it really does help. It also creates a dilemma of going into a potentially dangerous room equipped with the threat less scanner, or the firepower of a shotgun.
The splitting of the story into episodes has garnered some criticism from reviews. But I think it is great. I like the tense nervousness of the ship being supplemented by the more Assault on Precinct 13 style action settings, where the action is more frantic and great fun. The cheesiness of the voice acting and phrases is great: it reminds you that this is a zombie (I know they aren't zombies in the game) movie scenario and not everyone is a serious character in this situation.
The presentation is excellent and the recaps at the beginning of each play are very copasetic, adding to the movie like feel you get when playing the game.
I haven't even tried the online style raid sections, but from what I have read, they appear to be a game within themselves, a deeper and better experience than mercenaries.
Overall if you like the horror genre and playing in such a survival scenario, coupled with B-Move style humorous dialogue infused sections, and want to be scared, this is 100% recommended.
Great showcase for the 3DS; it has really raised the bar for first and third party efforts on the system.
