White knuckled action that keeps the tension high and the thrills frequent and preserves the amazing game it began as.
Juggling between limited amo (often), carefully placed enemies and a memorable environment. While it has some extremelycheesy dialogue and voice acting that acts as a major buzz kill and some lackluster animations (such as gunfire), and many times the graphics look grainy and sort of lackluster.
Though inside of your DS, (and with a extremly convenient map on the other screen) it tends to look overall stunning and impressive, especially the cut scenes. The rebirth mode adds many new interesting twists and turns, utilizing the hardware into many new curves that only adds to the experience.
The only flaw this game really has is it can be very frustrating, and when you rome for to long it becomes bland. Though if your a RE veteran thats not a problem, and even for the first timers it runs pretty smoothly and most of the puzzles are intresting, but easy.
The controls are clunky and unresponsive, but when you get used to them you start to really enjoy them.
Gameplay - 8
A few efficientweapons, a few efficient puzzles, some extremly intresting controls and angles that portray desperation and hopelessness that adds to the already chilling atmosphere.
Graphics - 9
Occasionally grainy and sometimes ugly, but for the most part it looks pretty nice.
Sound - 10
Some slick and creepy sounds and tunes that really make a memorable atmosphere
Overall - 9.3
This game is simply satisfying, it builds up a wave of horror and delight that becomes a guilty pleasure. Though it does contain many flaws, such as a lack of diversity in the gameplay itself.
