Resident Evil: Revelations 2 Standard Edition - PlayStation 4

I have a love hate relationship with the episodic style. But it works in this series. Also, the return of one of my favorite characters, Barry Burton. A good story, great gameplay mechanics, and an over all polish make it a nice addition to the re series. Graphics: 8/10 Story: 8/10 Gameplay: 8/10 Online: as i write this no, but its being patched in for raid mode soon. Replay Value: moderate with raid mode B+

Being a Resident Evil fan I was very pleased with the story line of the game. RE fans will be happy with the story line and the a great combination of all the recent game mechanics to make this feel new and different. The new tag team systems is fun to use where you switch characters during gameplay and have to solve puzzles with. The original characters from the series in the past still have some of their iconic items they use and graphics are up to par. I love how Playstation 4 still uses it's unique controller to relate to the game play! If your life is on danger the LED on the controller turns RED! When your at full health it stays GREEN and yes the speaker on the controller isn't used at much in the game BUT they still use it a little bit. HAVE FUN!

I enjoyed this a lot more than "The Evil Within". The story confused me on my first playthrough, but it was because of a misunderstanding which I was able to correct on my second playthrough. The game seems to try to emulate some aspects of The Last of Us, as I get a bit of an Ellie vibe from the adorable Moira. There are a few satisfying puzzles along the way a la Ico or Prince of Persia or Haunting Ground. The combat is fun except the enemies' heads don't pop off which seemed out of the ordinary. Besides the standard story mode which can be played split screen co-op with a friend, there's another mode where you just try to kill everything in a level called Raid Mode. You can play Raid in splitscreen, and just recently they added online co-op, albeit only with one partner. If you sign up with their free online account you can do community specific missions. You can easily sink hours into this game beyond your first playthrough.

If you enjoyed Revelations 1, you will enjoy Revelations 2, but probably way more. It's deeper, gameplay has been tweaked for the better, and it's even more fun with a friend. Graphics are ok and the campaign could be better, but overall this is a worthy purchase, especially if you're a fan of the older Resident Evil titles. Raid mode alone is worth it.

Coming off of the much success of Resident Evil Revelations, Revelations 2 is trying to feed off of it. Trying to stick with the roots from the first, Revelations 2 have some positives and negatives. Positives: 1) the mechanics from the game is good. A little bit better than the first, finally are able to run with your character as you couldn't in the first. 2) They brought back Raid Mode which gives you a lot of replay value. 3) They didn't charge you a full price of $60. Negatives: 1) The cpu is fairly annoying and likes to get in your way at times. 2) Don't really like how you have to pay to keep playing Raid Mode when you completely used up all your gem stones. Overall Worth: For $40, this game is really fun to play on either way, single campaign/raid mode or co-op on raid mode. Now, you can't play co-op on raid mode yet until end of the month as an update will be provided. But playing the first and know how fun the first one is, I can give you a good opinion on it. WORTH: $40!
