Review date: 09 September, 2011. Review by: Darren Allan Resident Evil has taken the plunge on the 3DS, but not in its traditional horror format. Mercenaries is a straightforward shooter, although naturally enough you're still trying to survive the un...
Looks rather smart; besting your scores proves surprisingly compelling...
Repetitive gameplay at heart; full price is asking a bit much.
This initial Resident Evil 3DS offering isn't really a full game, but more of an extended mini-game - yet it carries a full price tag. That's the biggest concern here, well that and the repetitive streak which runs through the levels. Even so, we found...

Resident Evil has been scaring the crap out of gamers since 1996. At first, it was the horrific controls that scared the savvy gamer, but eventually (with Resident Evil 4) the series figured out how to make things challenging and terrifying without res...

Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D should have been a cause for jubilation. Finally we have a game that shows what the 3DS can do, proving that Nintendo's newest handheld can handle graphics of Resident Evil 4 calibre, if not quite Resident Evil 5. Sur...

Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D is a technically impressive zombie-blaster with excellent graphics and some strong game mechanics. What it is, however, is really only of use to the most hardcore Resident Evil fan and the kind of high-score obsessive...

Ever since it appeared all guns blazing in Resident Evil 4, The Mercenaries has built up an extreme cult following full of plenty of loyal fans. Capcom has now decided to release the popular mini-game (and it really is a mini-game at the end of the day...
The lack of content is rather frustrating, but the genuinely excellent combat mechanics and addictive nature of the hi-score tables mean that The Mercenaries 3D still offers a surprising amount of replay value. 7.6/10Print this pageComments (0)Share th...

Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D is hardly a "new" game. Yet, even though Capcom is essentially regurgitating a mini-game that originally came out six years ago (in Resident Evil 4), pumping lead into non-stop waves of undead flesh-eaters is still pre...
Largely a repackaging of old content, The Mercenaries 3D is a competent co-op shooter that ultimately falls short due to a severe lack of meat on its bones...

In case you didn’t already know, Mercenaries 3D is NOT a brand new Resident Evil game. Instead, it’s a fleshed-out version of the time-attack Mercenaries mode made popular by RE4 and RE5, in which you try to rack up the highest number of kills before t...

It's easy to appreciate what's at the Core of Resident Evil The Mercenaries 3D. Despite the mercenaries mode essentially being a mini game, it always promoted significant replayability and, most importantly, fun. The Mercenaries 3D has expanded this mo...

Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D is low on content and that is putting it lightly. With just one mode and only around 30 missions, Mercenaries 3D is short, with it only taking around 3 hours to finish all the missions with one character and unlock the res...

As a minigame in Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5, The Mercenaries was a welcome bonus: the core action of the game proper, stripped of story and turned into an addictive, timed score-attack mode. As a stand-alone 3DS game, though, Resident Evil: Th...

The idea is simple: shoot as many of those wretched Majini as possible before the timer runs out. You can change your choice of character, weapon and environment, but essentially it all boils down to shooting zombies (well, zombie-like enemies) in the...

Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D comes across as a game that could have been better than it ends up, as the additions made to the Mercenaries formula make for some great add-ons, but in the end, the game is hurt by some lacking depth and some poor me...

Looks about as good as Resident Evil 5; one of the better coop experiences on the 3DS.
Over before you know it; it's mostly recycled content; music is harrible.

To paraphrase the T.V. show Mystery Science Theater 3000, Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D isn't really a game -- it's more of a game loaf, made from real game parts, chunked and formed. The "parts" in this case come from The Mercenaries, an extra mod...

Ever since Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D was announced, fans of the series wondered if Capcom could pull off making what is effectively a mini-game feel like a full release. Introduced in Resident Evil 3 and enhanced in subsequent releases, The Mer...
