She's clearly the game's easy mode, making it all the more confusing that you have to unlock her.

I spent the start of this year getting all SS-Ranks with Rebecca, whose armoury of grenade launchers instantly paralyses all enemies, allowing you to melee them into oblivion. It's a great game to dive into for a quick session, though it's hard to just settle for one match - I always need to warm up before I get into my groove! That, and it's easy to think, 'five minutes will do,' but by the game's very nature of time extensions, what you thought would be a quick match can easily stretch out to over 20 minutes! It's not a game you can set your watch by, unlike my other 3DS fallbacks like Mario Kart or Pokémon Rumble. Barry's big on heavy-hitting magnums and shotguns, but his limited ammo capacity forces you to make use of melee strikes to get the job done. Getting S-Ranks will unlock new characters and costumes, all with their own unique loadouts and play styles, which can really change how you approach the game. The game divides itself into 'missions', basically various degrees of difficulty across the ten maps, and it takes a little while before it starts providing a decent challenge, but it's the same Mercenaries as ever - kill all the dudes in the time limit, use melee attacks for time bonuses, and use time extensions and combo multiplier totems wisely. I tried going back to RE5 after this, and the movement controls alone were enough to throw me off my game entirely. It's a strain on the thumb during long sessions and nowhere near as precise as a D-Pad, but it does eliminate the need for a run button, which makes the game so much zippier. The D-Pad's right there!! There's no option to swap them, but I eventually got acquainted with it. I hated the Circle Pad.! The game uses the same controls as RE4 and 5, which hardly needed analogue precision. and then it took me years to actually have the patience to play it. I'm such a sucker for the Mercenaries mode in Resident Evil 5 that this was my first ever 3DS purchase.
