It's as if Capcom realized what was wrong with Resident Evil games since 2005 but were already committed to RE6, so they put the worthy successor of Resident Evil 4 on the 3DS instead. Though not a "true horror experience," this is the same kind of mix of action and horror elements that made RE4 worth playing for anybody above a certain age (there is still plenty of blood). There are flaws with the campaign's storytelling and pacing at points, but story was never a series forte. Also, "Mission Mode" is an intense series of action stages that will double your playtime, and would be buying on their own. The two being part of a single whole sweetens the deal.
