Resident Evil: Deadly Silence review

Only a hefty dose of nostalgia can fight off this handheld horror

Now that the dreadful main game is out of the way, let's talk multiplayer. At first, the idea of using the same sad control scheme into a co-op or versus zombie hunt seems absurd. True, the control remains flawed, but the RE4-like intensity that is gained bolsters Deadly Silence up in our eyes.

Playing together, you and three friends share the same life bar and try to fight your way out. You also have to allocate vital ammo, keys and herbs between the group or you'll never make it out. The other option is gunning up the versus mode and laying waste to the evil residents. He with the highest body count, wins.
