This game is a bad joke by every definition. While the graphics aren't completely outmoded, prepare yourself for visuals that would feel right at home during 2008. Literally. Voice acting is God-awful. Characters are creepy automotons with some stalker-ish characters like CreepyJessica asking if you like her rear end while she takes her time to save you from a pack of zombie-wolves (yes, zombie wolves --- wth?)

The game maps are horrendously linear and absurdly small. Weapon ammunition is limited in order to amp the feeling of powerlessness but the weapons themselves feel underpowered and worthless compared to...get this... a karate kick. There is no dedicated dodge key and instead you have to time the forward movement keys to avoid some attacks. Puzzles are brutally stupid and often make no sense.

Oh and the story...where do I start. The story is nonsensical and designed for morons. You spend a good 10 minutes collecting "data samples" with a magical device that can analyze ANYTHING from giant mutants on a beach about a quarter of a city block in length, while your boss stands 50 feet away demanding what's taking so long. You reach into mutated, infected biomatter with your bare hands without fear of contamination but apparently everyone else is infected by the merest scratch.

A terrorist group leaks information of a secret base in an arctic location, so they can lure Chris Redfield and CreepyJessica to a radio-silenced area. Redfield and Jessica find the base but it turns out it was all an elaborate ruse to actually lure Jill Valentine and some pudgy Redshirt into a derelict ship...how exactly? How was Redfield's signal drawn there? Why not just capture Redfield and bring him to the ship? I mean, you're going to build a BASE in the ARCTIC so you can trick two different agents onto a ship thousands of miles away. Wait, what?

And that's just the first quarter of the short, uninspired, ridiculously-plotted game.

People will argue that this game was a DS/Gameboy game and that its limitations are born from that. My rebuttal is that iOS has plenty of full-fledged games with better graphics (Infinity Blade III), better gameplay (Implosion) and better voice acting/plot (Republique) than this normally 30 dollar crapshow. I suppose if the game was priced like an iOS title, at 5-10 dollars, it might be worth it but not at that price. What a ripoff.

Not worth the time. You'll find better games elsewhere (including other RE games).

5/10.
