Resident Evil: Revelations on the Nintendo 3DS remains as one of the top titles and reasons to own the portable platform, with its wonderful graphics, potent gameplay and unsettling atmosphere. Now, with the title reaching onto consoles, everyone is able to experience the Resident Evil title that truly blends the old mannerisms of the series with some of the new conventions of modern Resident Evil. Before going further, I should say that I definitely suggest if you have not purchased the game for 3DS, you should do so as well, it is that good. Anyway:
Basic Synopsis: Taking place between Resident Evil 4 and 5, the story revolves around a bio-terrorist group known as Veltro who has seemingly created a virus known as the T-Abyss virus with the intent to spread it across the world's oceans. In addition, RE veteran lead Jill Valentine is searching for her missing colleague, Chris Redfield; whose last location was somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea. A whirlpool of deception follows as the BSAA delves deeply into the mysteries exuding from the eerily quiet Queen Zenobia cruise ship, filled with horrifying creatures ready to spring surprise attacks at any place at any time.
With that in mind, the actual story is very interesting, if not confusing at times. Still, it keeps you guessing and is well worth experiencing, so I won't spoil anything else regarding it. Now for the good stuff:
Technical Stability: The Wii U version of Resident Evil: Revelations features the most direct conversion from 3DS to console experience of the game. The touch-based puzzles are present here with the sole exception of one particular element but it isn't much to be concerned about. In terms of technical stability, the game performs just fine on the Wii U. It looks lovely to the eyes and sounds lovely as well. In addition, you can play the game off the TV and have access to Miiverse, which allows you to display screenshots if you're into that sort of thing. On a fundamental stability standpoint, the game is solid on Wii U.
Fun Factor vs Price: If you've bought and played the game on the 3DS when it first came out, then you'll already be aware of how fun the game is to play. Between the campaign mode and Raid Mode, there is plenty to enjoy in Revelations. The price of the game is also less than most console priced titles as well, an additional incentive to purchase it. For those that got the game when the price was reduced for the initial period, you would have basically got the game for the same price that it was on the 3DS. Even with the raise in price, the game offers enough content and enjoyable gameplay to make it worth the price tag.
Replay Value: Revelations is pretty packed with replay value. In addition to Raid Mode, the game mode which features separate areas of the game filled with enemy waves to fight through for points and new weapons and gained levels, the main campaign has multiple difficulties to play, including the new Infernal mode. To those not aware, Infernal mode offers a sharp raise in difficulty to test the skills of the true experts of Resident Evil. There's also a new enemy type to be mindful and it is as disturbing as you may have seen it. Include the prospect of online co-op in Raid Mode and you have a full package of content you can play for a long time.
Final Word: I loved Revelations on the 3DS and the Wii U version gave me the same wonderful experience as well as more content with it. Between the new difficulty, the new characters to play in Raid Mode, plus just being able to play the game again on a larger screen, it is definitely a title worth having as well as playing. If you are looking for a modern Resident Evil game with that old-school feel and atmosphere, you definitely want to play Revelations on any console of choice. However, if you want that direct conversion from 3DS to console, I would suggest playing the Wii U version. Plus, it's another title to add to your Wii U game library.
In the words of Dante: "Abandon Hope, All Ye Who Enter Here..." but it's hard to when a game is this fun.
