Agreement—

A so-so start to this new series. The multiple character stuff is interesting, but weak shooting and bland environments let it down.

Resident Evil: Revelations 2 is off to a pretty good start. It's fun, campy, and even manages to throw in a few good scares. Once you get past the somewhat predictable first half, the game really comes together in the second with a blend of solid action, horror, and stealth. Dividing the game into episodic chunks is already shaping up to a successful experiment for Capcom, and we can't wait to see where it all leads to in the coming weeks.

It's hardly a revelatory release thus far – but this could yet be great.

Agreement—

The first episode in Revelations 2 does a bunch of things right, but is curiously unimaginative.

Agreement—

Resident Evil: Revelations 2 gets off to a rough start with poor writing and safe design choices, but it's redeemed by strong doses of tension during the second act.
