Survival Horror cruises onto Wii U.

Resident Evil Revelations on 3DS was, and still is, one of the most impressive and well-crafted demonstrations of the handheld's capabilities. With accomplished visuals - combined with outstanding stereoscopic 3D - it delivered a return to form for the franchise, with large sections reverting back...

I was ready to give up on the Resident Evil series but Revelations gives me a lot of hope that Capcom still knows what they're doing. Moody, suspenseful and elegant, Revelations does away with the extraneous complexity of other recent Resident Evil games and gets back to the basics of survival...

Both your weapons and your enemies feel powerful; The Queen Zenobia is an intriguing location; Episodic structure keeps the pace brisk

Resident Evil: Revelations was my most-anticipated game for the 3DS, and I was thoroughly impressed with it last February. When the HD console version was announced earlier this year, I was happy to see that the Wii U would be getting some exclusive content.

Achievements and unlockables are fun and doable; Continues to be an awesome RE game; Nice changes to Raid Mode; Off-TV play or TV + GamePad are both great

Aiming feels a little different; Final boss is more aggressive; less vulnerable; The kill room Campaign missions are still terrible

It's funny how over its past few installments the Resident Evil franchise has gotten more love for its spin-offs than for its main installments. When it originally released on the Nintendo 3DS in early 2012, Resident Evil: Revelations was heralded as a breath of fresh air for the series by moving...

Resident Evil: Revelations for home consoles is a remastered version of last year's 3DS game which made a valiant effort to reconnect with the series' survival horror roots by including features such as limited ammo, dimly lit corridors and shambling enemies.
