Dawn of the retread

User Rating: 6.8 | BioHazard: Deadly Silence (Limited Pack) DS
Lets see a show of hands: who here hasn't already played the original Resident Evil four times over and is dying for a chance to take it on the road in significantly less terrifying circumstances?

Playing RE in the dark using a stylus on the tiny screens would probably make you go blind anyway, and its hardly anymore frightening.

The new gameplay techniques are very handy (RE4's quick 180-degree turn around, easy gun reloading, and easy access to your knife), but the clunky controls and antiquated inventory system feel more limiting than ever after RE4.

But in terms of the quality of the port, its all here: the cheesy voice acting, cinematic sequences, pre-rendered backgrounds, 3D character models, and sluggish zombie shooting action. It's actually pretty impressive though, for a portable title.
