Resident Evil: Deadly Silence

I thought that a DS port of the original Resident Evil seemed like a strange and unappealing way to play a game that was already clunky and difficult to engage with, but this port turned out to be the best way to play the old PS1 classic. Having loved RE1 on the Playstation, and considering the REmake of that game diversifies itself enough to not invalidate the original, this DS re-do is similarly diverse enough to offer a unique experience. The addition of some quality of life changes including 180-turn and quick-reload , as well as the ability to skip cutscenes and door animations, make this the best playing version of RE1 in my opinion.

There are some big changes in this version included in the 'Rebirth' mode. This mode includes more enemies (ammo and health galore), rearranged items, new puzzles that use the DSs various features (blow out the candles, five-finger fillet), a new boss encounter and new first-person knife fights that randomly occur when you enter rooms. These changes make for an exciting new experience for those familiar with the original game and make this a RE game you should not miss out on if you are a fan of the PS1 era RE games. If you're not interested in the new gameplay features, you can play a classic mode that is just the original game and you'll get the fastest version of RE Director's Cut out there.

This game is fun as heck!
