What kind of game is Resident Evil: Deadly Silence?
What kind of game is it?
Resident Evil: Deadly Silence is a survival horror game with third-person shooter elements and science fiction themes [2]. That mix means you will face tense, frightening moments, but you will also aim and shoot your way through many encounters. Knowing this up front helps you decide how to approach each area.
Survival horror asks you to weigh your options. In a given moment, you may need to decide whether to fight a monster, slip past it, or keep moving. The shooter elements add a more direct kind of play, so the game moves between careful exploration and quick combat.
The science fiction themes give the story a different feel from a standard haunted-house tale. The setting carries futuristic ideas alongside the horror, so the story can feel more like a sci-fi thriller at times [2]. Keep that in mind if you are reading the story or comparing it to other entries in the series.
Single-player and link-up play
The game supports single-player play, so you can work through the story on your own [2]. It also includes co-operative link-up mode, which gives you a second way to play [2]. Choose the mode that fits how you like to play, and you can switch your approach to suit the game you want that evening.
The Quake Engine
The game runs on the Quake Engine [2]. An engine is the underlying software that a game is built on, so this detail tells you what the game is built with rather than how it plays. If you are curious about how the game was made, that is the detail to remember.
Next, here is how the game's core features come together when you sit down to play.
Which sites have full walkthroughs for the DS version?
GameFAQs gives you the most choice, with 88 guides and walkthroughs for the DS version [1]. Gamer's Temple takes a different approach, with one game guide that includes a complete walkthrough section [3]. Pick the site that matches how you like to read.
GameFAQs: many authors to compare
The GameFAQs listings include walkthroughs by named authors, such as berevan and MStephenson [1]. Each author describes the same rooms and puzzles in their own way. If one walkthrough feels vague about a room, another author may explain it in more detail.
For example, say you reach a room and cannot tell which door to take. You can open a second author's walkthrough and compare how each one describes that area. Reading two versions side by side often clears things up faster than rereading one.
Gamer's Temple: one guide from start to finish
Gamer's Temple has a Resident Evil Deadly Silence game guide with a complete walkthrough section [3]. Instead of comparing several authors, you work through a single document in order. That makes it the simpler choice if you want one route to follow.
The walkthrough is labeled COMPLETE WALKTHROUGH in the guide's text [3]. Scroll to that part of the page and you can read straight through from the start of the game.
Which one to pick
Choose GameFAQs if you enjoy comparing approaches or want a walkthrough from a particular author. Choose Gamer's Temple if you would rather follow one guide without switching between pages. Both give you a full route, so the choice comes down to whether you want variety or simplicity.
What should you do next if you are stuck?
If you are stuck, pick a walkthrough from GameFAQs or Gamer's Temple, then read only the section that matches where you are. Gamer's Temple's guide includes a complete walkthrough that is split into numbered pages, so you can jump straight to your area [3]. GameFAQs also hosts walkthroughs for the DS version, including one by berevan [1].
The one thing to remember is to match the guide to your current spot, not to read it from start to finish. Find the area you are in, try the next step on your own, and come back only when you need more help. That keeps you from spoiling puzzles and scares you have not reached yet.
