Resident Evil: Revelations 3DS Looks and Plays Like a Console Title (Hands On)

Resident Evil: Revelations is a great looking 3DS title for those looking for a game with some more realistic visuals.  I am also happy to report that Resident Evil: Revelations looks, feels, and plays like a standard Resident Evil title!

I only had a short time with the Resident Evil: Revelations demo but I was able to explore a mansion.  Upon my exploration I came across a screwdriver that I also needed to use to escape a room.  Upon using the screwdriver in the right spot I was treated to a touch screen puzzle that I needed to complete before my escape.

Resident Evil: Revelations also features herbs and other items that fans of the series have grown familiar with.  This is a true Resident Evil title complete with cheap scares and more.

One downside to this demo was that I only encountered one enemy type through my entire time with the game.  This enemy took several shots and, in typical survival horror fashion, I found myself out of ammo before too long.

Most of the game takes place with an over the shoulder view.  While aiming, however, the view shifts to a first person perspective, which is something I don’t recall seeing in other Resident Evil games.  Fans shouldn’t let this bother them though because it was hardly noticeable and just gave a clearer view of the action on the 3DS screen.

Overall I think Resident Evil: Revelations is the Resident Evil core title that most people are waiting for on the 3DS.  The game looks great and I’m sure the final version will have more enemies than I encountered in this demo.  Resident Evil: Revelations is definitely one title that 3DS owners should keep an eye on.
