Revelations was a decent non-mainline (spinoff?) RE game combining the 3rd person shooter view of games like RE4, 5 and 6 but focuses more on a survival horror type of gameplay with slower-paced sections, less ammo, and overall enemies and level design geared towards this end instead of the action-based gameplay of other 3rd person view RE games.

The story was particularly bad from a RE fan point of view, but if you step outside of RE fandom, it has some interesting elements that touch on corporate corruption and some interesting developments as you progress through the game.

Review gets bonus points for starring Jill and Chris, two beloved characters for RE fans of the series. Level design is decent but it's really dependant on the level you area playing on (i.e. ship level is great, cave levels not so much).

The HD remaster version that I played for the PS3 featured improved graphics over the 3DS version and it was a nice way of enjoying the game on a big TV. With that being said, graphics are nothing to write home about.
