Resident Evil Gaiden/reception

Reception
Resident Evil Gaiden received generally unfavorable reviews from critics. GamePro remarked that the visual presentation is taking away from the intended creepy atmosphere. IGN criticized the game's impractical save system for a handheld game and was unsatisfied with the puzzles being reduced to collecting keys and items. GameSpot addressed the same issues in their review, though they applauded the clever storyline for its many twists and turns.
