    Great game. Not an action game like 5 and 6 which is the way resident evil is suppose to be. People are complaining about the texture of graphics, but the atmosphere is scary. Graphics do not always make a good game.

    I'm a little confused by the moderate to poor reviews that most critics are giving this game it's everything it was on the 3DS and then some. Personally, I think the graphics look very good on the console port, and really that's a testament to how well they were on the 3DS in the first place. The controls feel very smooth to me, though the only moderate gripe I can throw out there is the lack of a laser pointer for the aiming system. You now have a set crosshair that glows blue, red or green when it is locked onto a damageable target. Again, nothing huge but I do miss my laser pointer. Many critics have complained about the textures looking washed and blurry....however I have absolutely no complaints about them. As a matter of fact, I find myself soaking in the environment and even noticing things that I simply didn't when I played this game on the 3DS, so I'd say that's a nice improvement. Overall, this game is solid, and definitely a RE experience worth your time and money. Expand

    A good return to the original Resident Evil feel, but still could use some innovations on certain facets that has never been resolved in this series.

    Another console port. Do I really need to say more? The graphics are awful. My God. I saw this kind of graphics in 2005. The voice acting is awful, along with dialogue. And I don't think this is the actors fault. It's a crappy script. This is supposed to be an example of classic horror? It isn't nearly as horrifying as it is stupidly boring and irritating.. It's truly hard to believe that this trash was made by the same people that made RE5. Expand

    the most important element about Resident evil games is the fear and Scary part and i think this game done it and i don't care too much about the graphic.

    After a story filled with action and if any signs of life of resident evil revelations a game that came out for Nintendo 3DS and much success I reach several consoles, without any doubt, this resident evil is the best to date, since it combines elements of the classic games new games, is a great game of terror in third person that will give us several scares at various times of the game, for all the saga fanatic, this new resident it must have in sight.

    Honestly, this issue amply surpassed the previous Resident Evil.
    great story and great adaptation to xbox 360 and ps3. in terms of graphics, no better than RE6, but it is much more fun and frantic.

    Great game. Looks like the old Resident Evil, and is very beautiful now in HD. The gameplay is really good, this is the better Resident since Remake. The atmosphere is scary, some monsters too, texture maybe not the best, but this doesn't count in this game.

    Amazing game one of the best Resident evil games of the last few years. In this game You will need to fight for survival while exploring the dark and claustrophobic environments on the queen zinobier this makes the games more like the originals and one of the best games i've played all year

    Clunky, mushy controls really ruin this game. The characters move like pregnant yaks in the throes of labor which make the fights tedious and frenetic. The story is schlock y and silly, which is fine because that is what Resident Evil has become. I appreciate the effort to return to the roots of survival horror, but the control scheme is terrible and it really cripples any sense of fun I was having with the game. Expand

    Good Resident Evil game. It is in fact a Resident Evil as we know it, apart from the difficulties and frustrations of the past, such as the inventory, or the typewriter saves, or the weapon equip method etc.

    The technical aspect of this game is average at best, the gun sounds are made for a portable device and lack the lower frequences, the textures, animations, detail, etc. all point t
    owards the least amount of system memory used. It' s obviously optimized for the 3DS. The models don't look that awful and the controls are great.

    The atmosphere, the music, the pacing and the suspense are the good parts of this title. If Capcom weren't so greedy as to charge for a full and they sold it as a budget title, anyone could recommend this. For a full price title, it might be a better game than most other titles out there, but you're being ripped off your audiovisual pleasure, as it could have been much more. Obviously, after RE6 didn't meet Capcom's exxpectations, they had to go to plan B to counter the losses.

    If you have been expecting a Resi game like the old days, you're in for a treat. Just keep in mind that this is a port from a portable system. And not the powerful one.

    ps. Graphx are somewhere between Resi 4 HD and Resi 5. Probably near 4.

    Just another copy of the 3DS why bother with it? Sure Capcom can make a number 2 soon WARNING, this is only a copy of the 3DS version that is a rip off only in hd. I think Capcom are just getting poor and poor so they copy same games over to the next big console don't get this game if you got it for the 3DS I was shocked when it came to the big console but why bother? Capcom make a second one then you get more value for customer service. Expand

    So much from the 3DS with diffrent/new concept. The game wasn't to be a f**king rubish and so much bulls**t. The game does not focusing on survival horror too much, but focusing on a kick-ass action. If i were you, i published the game that will scaring anyone until they have a f**king seizure (non-taken just to make you freak out).

    After a couple of mis-steps, between Revelations and RE6, the franchise is firmly back on track.

    I liked Resident Evil: Revelations on the 3DS, and I enjoy it on Xbox 360. Revelations gets all the areas right where Resident Evil 6 failed. [June 2013]

    As an HD edition of a 3DS game, Revelations is the best Resident Evil game since Resident Evil 4. But clumsy controls, bad voice overs, a brain dead plot and some technical flaws still proves Capcom has a way to go bringing the franchise back to its former glory. Being a hybrid between a horror game and an action game, it’s hard to see what the developers wanted to achieve. But even with all this, it’s still better than Resident Evil 6.
