Resident Evil The Mercenaries 3D. Review

Now we can forget a little more of the classic Resident Evil, conceived as terrifying survival horror where every bullet counted and surprises corner made ​​us jump out of the chair. Resident Evil: The Mercenaries is the latest example of this license, now seeks his place in the third-person shooters, completely focused on games whose only action in relation to traditional relics is the name of the game, setting and characters. But make no mistake, andie has promised us nothing that is not complete or has deceived us. Since it was introduced, The Mercenaries made ​​clear it would be a pure action game, divided into missions, where guns were the real protagonists. And so it was, but with an end result that, despite being significant, is less fun and full of what many expect.

Resident Evil The Mercenaries was another one of those great games of the first batch of 3DS, like the ubiquitous The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition, Dead or Alive: Dimensions or Steel Diver. But as the last two, the final result is over pretty deflating regarding expectations, being shorter and simpler than we all expected, resulting in a fun and technical section mediocre. The Mercenaries is a solid game, an entertaining product, durable even, but the exorbitant marked stigmata repeat his mechanics and proposals, its unique gameplay and graphical shortcomings will play a trick that has ended up not doing the outstanding game that most fans felt. We will have to wait until Revelations, the next of which is portable and includes a demo in this The Mercenaries, and, indeed, has much better looking.

The Mercenaries takes a step further in the lurch playable or dramatic depth and reaches to obviate the argument to place the player with 30 micro-missions to solve in a limited time, never exceed five minutes. Indeed, in The Mercenaries 3D for the first time, there is no plot. Simply choose a character, equipped it, personalize it and send to various missions chosen a quadrant in which usually only have to kill and kill as quickly as possible, taking a look at the map, how we move and the different creatures with which we will be in addition to the standard zombie, the one who dies with a shotgun, three or seven bullets gun machinegun.

The Mercenaries 3D recycled formula scenarios playable and the last two Resident Evil (numbered episodes 4 and 5). Of course, that gives us so portable gameplay, with wonderful three dimensions by taking advantage of the possibilities of the machine and a cooperative mode worth at least be tested, it is the most rewarding we've seen so far in the young platform. And plenty of extras, like 50 achievements (medals), suits, up to 8 characters, weapons, skills, six difficulty modes. If something positive we must emphasize this cartridge over any other in its amount of downloadable content, making it endlessly replayable. Just do everything you can to get us to really heavy, it does not change almost any mission requirement of 'clean' the stage and some medals, for example, require 50 full games multiplayer or defeat 1,000 enemies. The figures themselves are to start trembling.

Jill Valentine, Chris and Claire Redfield, Rebecca Chambers, Barry Burton eight popular characters of the franchise entirely come together in The Mercenaries, forming an interesting sharing as each has some weapons and skills home, but we can customize them as we move forward and use more and more, gaining experience points that invest skills, ranging from more or charger speed up new moves, better health, better luck with the items and ammo you find, quickly and accurately to the target? There will also be a full arsenal of different weapons, all already seen in previous Resident Evil, like the unforgettable shotgun Claire in RE 2, or the machine gun he took from the house of horrors Jill Valantine in the first game. All weapons are obtained improve with coins and Nintendo 3DS, ie, we have to take the console for a walk or get them from friends to go buy the weapons. A fairly good and different, really.

Veredict:

 Its just the mini-game from the Resident Evil, it doens't have campaign mode, but still its fun to play alone or with friends, the matchmaking systems works pretty well, the graphics are decent but still Revelations has better graphics, The only dissapoint about the game is that u cant delete ur save data.

7/10
