Resident Evil: Revelations releases this week, and the 3DS to current-gen console and PC port may not have the attention of most gamers, but given some critics\u2019 responses, maybe you should pay attention.<\/p>\n

The game is currently sitting on Metascores of 80, 78 and 76 for PS3, PC and Xbox 360 respectively, while over on Gamerankings it has scored 79.07, 83.00 and 76.59 percent on the same three platforms.<\/p>\n

The aggregate scores don\u2019t tell the whole story though, so what are individual outlets actually giving the game, and more importantly, what are they saying?<\/p>\n

Official Xbox Magazine<\/a>: 9\/10<\/h3>\n

\u201cDeficits notwithstanding, this is a superb port of what may be the best survival-horror game on Xbox since Dead Space first lurched onto the scene\u201d<\/p>\n

GamesBeat<\/a>: 8.5\/10<\/h3>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been so long since I could say, without any second guessing or qualifiers, that I like a Resident Evil game. I don\u2019t just like Revelations \u2014 I adore it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eurogamer Sweden<\/a>: 8\/10<\/h3>\n

\u201cRevelations takes the Resident Evil series back to its origin and delivers a true survival horror experience. It\u00b4s delightful to see that someone at Capcom still knows exactly what made the series so great in the first place.\u201d<\/p>\n

EGM<\/a>: 8.5\/10<\/h3>\n

\u201cWhile it doesn\u2019t completely escape the shortcomings of its original outing, Capcom\u2019s HD-ified version of Resident Evil: Revelations is still as fun and enthralling as it was on the 3DS\u2014while now also benefiting from the improvements in controls, visuals, and audio that other gaming platforms can offer. \u201c<\/p>\n

Game Informer<\/a>: 8.8\/10<\/h3>\n

\u201cThe new content, including an entertaining challenge-based two-player co-op mode, along with dual-analog stick control make this the definitive version of Resident Evil: Revelations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hardcore Gamer Magazine<\/a>: 8\/10<\/h3>\n

\u201cA more intimate affair rather than a blockbuster, it recalls terrific classic elements that have been sorely missed, easily besting the latest main-series entry.\u201d<\/p>\n

IGN<\/a>: 7.5\/10<\/h3>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019ve got the choice between the remake and the original, stick with the one you can carry in your pocket \u2013 this one feels a bit uncomfortable in its own skin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eurogamer<\/a>: 7\/10<\/h3>\n

\u201cThis HD edition builds subtly on the 3DS foundations, but thankfully doesn’t crush them under the needless AAA junk that has dragged the series so far off course.\u201d<\/p>\n

VideoGamer<\/a>: 7\/10<\/h3>\n

\u201cA great port of a good game that has a few problems, the result being something well worth picking up if you\u2019re looking for some decent home console Resi action, or just something to get rid of the lingering taste of Resident Evil 6.\u201d<\/p>\n
