Nice return to the horror side of gaming. Controls are a little touchy. Played better (because it was made) on the 3DS. Definitely worth a play through at least once.

What's great about it: The return to the horror aspect that built the RE empire
What's not so great: Lack of challenging/variety of enemies.
