THIS IS NOT A NEW RE GAME OR A BETTER VERSION OF RE1. THIS IS RE1 BUT IT SUCKS ON THE DS!. THE GRAPHICS ARE HORRIBLE AND THE CONTROLS KINDA UNCOMFORTABLE CAUSE IM USED TO RE1 ON THE PS1. I ONLY PLAYED IT FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES BUT DECIDED TO QUIT CAUSE IT SUCKED! A REALLY DISSAPOINTMENT FOR THE RE SERIES! JUST STICK WITH THE ORIGINAL PS1 VERSION!!!!!!!

Going back to basics is great

I Love this game. It is only a port of the original, but I never had the honor of playing it when it first came out since I was only six or seven and didn't have a Playstation, but an N64.

When I bought this game, I thought it would just be some random story that had nothing to do with anything, but I was pleasently surprised to learn it was Resident Evil 1. I really didn't believe people who said the dialog was lame in the original, but now I do understand that they were right. I also think the controlls are a pain in the A$$, but you get used to it and then, the game is acually very fun.

You can either play as Jill or Chris, both have different stories and diffrent difficulties. You go threw a mansion that is swarming with zombies and other creepy monsters that are trying to eat you. The game isn't too hard once you get the hang of it, but it is still very fun and is one of the best games on the Ds along with Mario 64, New Super Mario Bros., Mario Kart, and UMK. I just hope that the port RE 2, 3, and code vencera to the ds.

A perfect port of the original Playstation version of Resident Evil. It's just like having a portable version of the original title.

It's a new resident evil game on DS!

What can I say about Resident Evil? I own and still play all RE games from Playstation; Wii don't attract me at all but I end up buying a Wii for play those 2 exclusive versions from gamecube(RE remake & RE zero) and new RE: Umbrella Chronicles for Wii coming up. So I bought DS just because of this game also, hopefully I'll receive them this week. I remembered playing this game 11 years ago around midnight, man, was really scary back then, today is a walk in the park but I'm huge fan of the series and a must have for any fan. I own the original RE with the long case like DVD case or something, the RE director's cut, the RE remake from gamecube and I will have RE: DS for DS. That's just RE1 games that I have. I own 2, 3, 4 and all the spin-offs versions. Oh, I even own the Japanese director's cut version.

Fan or foe of the Resident Evil series, you have to admit that it changed the face of gaming forever. Along with franchised games like Silent Hill, Fatal Frame, and Alone in the Dark "the term "survival horror" became a way to describe what was not only a fad in gaming but that was also a marketing force. This, of course, led to many noteworthy offspring of the genre, many rip-offs of the big kids, and many consoles trying to cashing in by making the next in their series the best in the series.
And now, hoping down the Bunny Trail, comes the brand new world of porting.

For those who are not accustomed to "porting," it is basically a term used to say "we took an old game and shoved it into a new system with a shiny new box." Sometimes this works out well and you have a great piece of nostalgia, and sometimes this works in the "not-so-well" classification and you find yourself somewhat miffed by your purchase. With Resident Evil :deadly Silence, I kind of feel like the title says it all. There are all those graphics that stepped back out of the same place I think disco went to die, seemingly 16 bits when compared to the beauty of the "now." And this isn't meant to insult the original Resident Evil because, when it was cutting edge, it was cutting edge. This is more like saying that the blade has dulled and the experience has soured and, well, you get the picture.
And then there were the controls.

One of the biggest complaints I've ever heard from people playing the older games are that the controls are terrible - at best. If you go into the game with that mindset, expecting the controls to be abominations, then you'll find yourself impressed with how psychic you are. That seems to be another drawback of porting - you have the same schema following you in all sorts of forms, making you not-so-silently curse the things that also made the game a memorable one to play. Fighting the wonderful world of remembered enemies is a pain at best with the controls that make life difficult - playing with them and running into old big and bad (O that loveable Tyrant!) reminds you why you spent so much time trying to master running and gunning and moving backward and assaulting at the same time.
Chris, Jill, flashbacks - "Haven't I see this before?" Yeah, you have.

Despite all of this, the game is still a fun thing to bust out and play again and it really does deserve a little praise. When your eyes adjust to the glint of the pixels and your fingers adjust to the way you reformatted your fingers just to play videogames you'll sometimes slide into the zone and remember how much you loved this game. You'll also laugh as well, amazed that these moments were some of the most frightening things that the digital experience ever spawned.
Add in the new controls that you get to play around with and you have something nice to play - provided that you play at a discount.

Its amazing what can be forgiven when it comes to fond memories and handheld gaming.

Solid title for DS

I've been a Resident Evil fan from the begining of time, so it is safe to say that I played every game under the title (or at best most of them). Resident Evil DS is a solid game to have for fans of the title. Of course you have to take into consideration that it won't be as graphically impressive as it is on other video game consoles, but it has similar game play and brain teasers that made Resident Evil popular. Overall I'm pleased with the game, and I hope there is more to come in the future.

the jury is out on this one

Ive only played it once and i wasnt a fan of the controls. although they are like the console version, it takes some getting used to on a handheld. of course most kids will pick it right up as I did when I was a lot younger. Ill save this one for when im really bored.
