I'm a 3D hater and even I think it looks interesting. Atmosphere, decent controls from what I've seen and it looks really nice. Hopefully, the load times and frame rate are decent enough to make it enjoyable. Personally, I've stopped caring about RE a while ago.
It's got the best atmosphere of any game I've played, console or handheld. Without a doubt. If it can make me want to wet my pants cos I've got to walk up the stairs of my own house in the dark, it's a good game.
As for the controls, the Circle pad pro, while not needed, is a REAL help. Allows for much smoother controls compared to playing straight. I got a the demo and played it, was getting pretty good. Then with the CPP, it just went from good, to brilliant. The load times and frame rates, that's a problem. The load times themselves are pretty good actually, considering the size of the game. I timed it, takes about 20-30 seconds from DS menu to get into the game. Even online play has the same speed for loading, once both players are ready. The frame rate is exceptional, apart from when going into a new area, such as through these special doors to get into the promenade, the dining room (as featured in the demo) and so on, but these are infrequent so it doesn't get in the way very much. The frame rates at any other time, are smooth and fast, so where it counts, you won't be blind sided due to frame rate chugging.
I strongly suggest you try this game out. After RE 5 I was skeptical about it, but now, I'm very much behind it. If they can use some of the suspense building techniques in RE6, then I have very high hopes for that game.
