RE: Revelations; A frustrating, but surprising gem

I thoroughly enjoyed playing this 3DS- only port containg events between Resident Evil 4 & 5. Now here's the good, the bad and the ugly of this game:

THE GOOD: This is easily the best looking game on the 3ds. it takes the atmosphere of a good console resident evil title and makes it portable. the enemies are as scary as ever and the character models are nothing to scoff at. This game will give you a good jump here and there, just as you should come to expect with this kind of title.

THE BAD: This game doesn't have any real glitches (besides the occasional lag), so there's nothing really to complain about here. one major thing is that the controls on this game SUCK if you dont have circle pad pro. this really took me out of the game and created some really difficult moments when trying to kill a larger zombie. add this to a subpar storyline and you have yourself a problematic experience.

THE UGLY: Two words: boss fights. the bigger and more difficult monsters in the game are hideous. but not in a bad way, in a good way. The visuals in this game are so beautiful for the 3ds that the monsters are abslutely disgusting.

Overall, i would give this game 7.75 out of 10 because although it did have its good moments, there were a few big problems that took away from an otherwise very enjoyable experience. this game is worth a play if you are looking for a good game to waste time on for a long car ride, or if you are a fan of resident evil or survival horror in general. this game is a definite rent for most 3ds owners, but dont buy it unless you are a hardcore fan.

Typical

The is your typical Resident Evil game. Run around in circles looking for keys with pictures on them and then get into the next room to look for another key with another picture on it. Throw in that the circle pad is pretty slow, and non-zombie like creatures sneak up from behind you, & you have this game in a nutshell. I don't understand what the critics love about this game.

I was almost 3 hours into the game and right when i finished a huge boss battle it said saving, and so I turned it off but when i came back to it had to do the boss battle over. Fun gameplay, 3d is excellent, and i was surprised that I could get scared on a handheld that easley. Good but not great.
Ps. Took about half hour for boss and died about 5 times
