Resident Evil: Deadly Silence

About This Game

Resident Evil: Deadly Silence is an enhanced version of the original Resident Evil for the Nintendo DS. It was made to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the series. The key difference with the original game is the use of the dual screen and touch sensitive formats, among many gameplay additions. A primary map is displayed on the second screen, providing extra help in finding the important areas of the mansion. The lower touch screen can be used to open locks or, in a special 1st person perspective addition, fight off various versions of the evil dead. The game also includes wireless LAN support for up to four players with two different multiplayer game modes.
