Manufacturer's Description
A remake of the first Resident Evil game with the DS's unique feature set in mind as you work your way through the now classic storyline involving Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield and that well-known mansion that introduced the world to Resident Evil back in 1996. Zombies are now smarter and actually work their way around doors as they chase after you. You'll find that there's no solace in a room that you think you've completely freed from zombie infestation.

Whereas the original game focused more on puzzle solving, the new version's "rebirth mode" design places a heavy emphasis on action with more enemies and ammo. Also, nearly half the puzzles have been freshly upgraded providing new challenges for fans. The DS's special features are being put to use in the remake as well, as you use the touchpad to solve puzzles and slash at zombies. Also featured are 2-4 player wireless mode (in Co-Op and VS challenges).

RESI IS BACK
I got this game on the 6th of september '08 and it is all I have been playing on my DS since. for starters the graphics; they are ok but the DS is capable of more, the game itself takes around 8 hours to complete each storyline with some good puzzels and imaginitive levels and bosses. the first part of the game is a black and white cutscene where the members of bravo team (the main characters) are tracking a group of cannible murders through the mountains around raccoon city when they are attacked by cerebrus (skinless zombified dogs!) and they flee into the nearby "abandoned" mansion this gives cue to one of the greatest survival horror games of all time. I dont want to spoil it so I wont give you a walkthrough. but if you buy this game expect the next month hunched over your DS listening to "actors" adding to the atmosphere with hammy dialougue and the prospect of filling zombies with handgun bullets only to watch them get up moan and continue their painfully slow waddling in your general direction. but dont let this discourage you it is a great and fun game and two story lines and a brand new "rebirth" option on each you definetly wont get through this in one afternoon.

pure evil!
this game is an exact replicer of the resident eil game on the ps1 but on the nintendo DS it has some good gameplay with a lot of zombie shooting (of course) all in all a good game to buy if you have some time to spare but if you have played this game on the earlyer format this game will be a walk in the zombie infested park..

Stands out in a mansion full of games and zombies....
Resident Evil DS is incredible, thats about all that can be truely justified.
They crammed a PS1 game into a tiny DS cartridge with all new features and even multiplayer.
You all know the story by now (i highly doubt you'd be viewing it if you didn't!) So i'm not going to bother with the small print.
I waited for Resi DS for a whole year, i knew every scrap of news and every shot like the back of my own hand. BUt, it got to the stage where i was so excited that i began to think that, dispite my resi-fanboy-isam, it'd never live up to the hype of being the orginial game and have multiplayer on such a small cartridge.
It was a fifty-fifty thing in the end, the single player remains to this day one of the best 'mature' adventures in videogames and still manages to send shivvers up my spine at the sight of a giant spider spitting toxic.
And the revamped 'Rebirth' mode is just incredible, using the DS primery functions such as the mic to give the kiss of life to a fallen team-mate, to using your styless as a knife, the rebirth mode is awesome.
But, where it falls to fifty fifty, is the multiplayer.
Theres two modes, co-op, where up to four people work together to rid the mansion of zombies and hunters, and a mode i can't remember the name of, where four players battle it out to kill the m,ost monsters, and when all zombies are dead, the winner is the person with the most points.
The co-op is absoloutly brilliant fun and is some of the best multiplyer on DS, but the vs mode is pretty bad.
But what really lets it down is the fact you can't see the other players on yoiur screen, they just apper as arrows!
All i all, the 'deffinitive' version of Resi 1, for people who want to relive the golden days of the PLaystations masterpiece.
