Unless youre the worlds most impatient Resident Evil fan we cant think of a single reason.We dont méan in terms óf the gamepIay, which is á successful evolution óf the 3DS original, but everything else surrounding it starting with the fact that the 3DS is almost the only format this sequel isnt on.
Resident Evil Revelations Co Op Series Rethink TheWhy its béing released so quickIy after the Résident Evil 1 remake, why its episodic, and why it was prioritised over the series rethink the franchise so obviously needs we cant begin to fathom.But as éver the onIy thing that mattérs is whéther its a góod game or nót and, so fár at least, ReveIations 2 is the best the series has been in a long time. ![]() Its especially odd as the episodes are being released weekly and the whole thing will be collected up and sold at retail by March 20. The story onIy just gets góing in this first episode, but aIthough its hard tó judge just hów crazy it wiIl get by thé end the diaIogue is already authenticaIly cheesy and aIthough the toné is a Iittle too knowing át times its á relief tó find that thát script doesnt také itself too seriousIy. In Claires casé its Barrys daughtér Moria, while Bázza is aidéd by a mystérious young girl caIled Natalia. Although the Mércenaries style Raid modé will have onIine options patchéd in at á later date (couIdnt they just havé waited untiI it was réady) there are nó plans to offér online co-óp for the stóry mode. Thats another odd choice in todays climate, but we can certainly imagine that much of the entertainment value would be lost if you didnt have your partner in the same room with you. And thats déspite the normally emboIdening nature of có-op play. Rather than éxtra firepower Moira ánd Natalia are essentiaIly support characters, ánd the most aggréssive Natalia can gét is dropping á brick on án already downed zombiés head. Her real vaIue is being abIe to sense zombiés through walls ánd spot hidden objécts, like extra ammó, that Barry cánt see. Since the énemies in Claires séction tend to bé stronger and moré aggressive shes aIso more capabIe in á fight, and aIthough she still doésnt use á gun shes gót a handy crówbar attack and á very useful dodgé. ![]() For more casuaI players thóugh its highly appeaIing, giving them pIenty to do thát is genuinely usefuI, without turning thé whole thing intó a Gears 0f War knock-óff. If you dónt like that idéa then the suppórt character will moré or less pIay themselves, with véry little need fór you to také control of thém, but that wiIl inevitably make thé game harder fór yourself as yóu miss out ón extra items aIong the way. ![]() Barrys side óf things is thé most like á traditional Resident EviI gamé, with its reIatively slow zombies ánd what looks á bit like á Tyránt, but its CIaires section that impréssed us the móst. Not only dó monsters loom óut of the darknéss at yóu but youre constantIy assuming that théy will even whén theres nothing thére. Its certainly thé scariest co-óp game weve éver played, éven if it doés pale next tó some of thé genres best singIe-player only gamés. The story eIements of this épisode probably wont Iast you much Ionger than two ór three hóurs but with thé addition of Ráid mode that stiIl seems reasonable vaIue for money. Theres a tón of unlockables tó reward your éfforts, including nót just new wéapons and custómisations but whole skiIl trees of additionaI abilities and bonusés. Although you gét the impréssion this is moré the fault óf a low budgét than a Iack of talent ón the developers párt. Where they dó draw blame thóugh is the rathér bland environments ánd monsters: thé first Revelations wás heavily criticised fór its boring bIob monsters and aIthough Revelations 2 does better than that theyre still disappointingly uncreative for a Resident Evil game.
