selling the thing and getting
out of the zombie game
altogether.
The scanning gun lets you
scan the area you are in to
identify items that you
can’t see much like a metal
detector for everything. It
all feels very Metroid Prime
in that respect and only
helps to take away from the
more realistic nature of the
name. Then again, we’re
talking about a game were
we fight mutated fish
people. The game also
wants you to scan enemies
to build up your DNA bar and once this reaches %100 (about
every 10 or so baddies) you get a magic pill that works like a
healing herb. That right, this little bugger also creates
medicine for what’s ailing you. Again, they should really be
selling this to governments around the world.
But even with all these gripes, most of which are just silly
annoyances, Resident Evil: Revelations is a really fun
experience overall. Streaming the game on Twitch I found
myself laughing and having a really fun time with the
adventure. And that’s something that we don’t often get,
especially with AAA games designed for home consoles. This
one feels like it was built to be a fun experience first, as
opposed to built from a boardroom. Resident Evil: Revelations
is good fun that managed to get me hooked for hours at a time
when I really didn’t expect it to. And at $20 for a physical
copy you really can’t go wrong here, especially if you missed
the game the first or second time around. -J. Luis
