For all the innovation that's present on the platform, it's somewhat unusual to find DS owners getting so fervent about the remake of a 10 year old game that's already been remade once before. Then again, the game in question just so happens to be
Resident Evil: Deadly Silence, a title crammed to the brim with, silly plot developments, Jill sandwiches, puzzle-solving amulets and, most importantly, grotesque zombies. What's not to like, right?
1up has posted a nice little preview of Capcom's portable evil, confirming some of the things we were wondering about and detailing some of the differences between the DS version and the original. With a touch-controlled menu, first-person slashing sequences, cooperative wireless play and the ability to literally blow poison back into an attacker's face, it seems like the game makes pretty good use of the DS' abilities.

The video reveals quite a few surprises coming in the form of some new touch screen mini-games, first-person slashing and bringing fallen comrades back from the brink (further cementing the DS as a CPR simulator). The graphics are also surprisingly good, though that may just be as a result of all that blood spraying in every conceivable direction. To see it for yourself, follow the link, click on "Enter", then "Movie" and then on the flashing Japanese text to the left.
