Well this arrived today (US version) and I've been playing it a while. Anything negative I could say has already been said - the atefacting on the video is nasty (though understandable), the backgrounds are quite heavily compressed so don't look great (again, understandable but not ideal) and I truly believe that every handheld game, regardless of sleep mode, should have a quick save function.
All that aside, however, this is good old Resident Evil just as it was back in the day! Although how we ever survived without that auto aim is beyond me - I'm very glad they didn't decide to go so authentic as to drop that. And, for anyone who played the original to death, being able to skip the door sequences is a dream.
I went straight into Rebirth mode and had a nasty shock being eaten while fumbling for my stylus. I then promptly died a few corridors later having been chewed on by a zombie in that little dead end room and then mauled by the dogs. I seem to have lost the knack of how to run past things, which is pretty much how I always got through it back in the day. So I'll go back to Classic mode and probably start from Jill again to relearn the game.
