Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles (WII)

“Not a good game. I played this game with my girlfriend and we couldn't tell our cursors apart when the action started happening. You pick up ammo by shooting it and can't control where you go. You play like one chapter from Resident Evil 3 and then...”

“Not a good game. I played this game with my girlfriend and we couldn't tell our cursors apart when the action started happening. You pick up ammo by shooting it and can't control where you go. You play like one chapter from Resident Evil 3 and then Resident Evil 4, however you get such a weak story because everything is like cut-out and you get a bare bones story. The gameplay you will find yourself low on ammo and since you are auto-guided like an arcade shooter, you will encounter zombies just popping up in front of you and often time no ammo to fend them off. I only suggest playing this if you have a friend, otherwise you will feel silly and little fun is to be had when you are at the mercy of a slow and illogical roller coaster ride.”

“Not the best rail shooter I ever played, and had some english translation errors in the scripting, but it was really good. The variety of weapons, the hidden items to find, and the multiplayer was excellent. One big side of the game was it kind...”

“Not the best rail shooter I ever played, and had some english translation errors in the scripting, but it was really good. The variety of weapons, the hidden items to find, and the multiplayer was excellent.

One big side of the game was it kind of auto locks on to enemies which sucks when you're trying to find everything in a level by keeping a monster going.”

“Meh.”

“Meh.”

“Umbrella Chronicles is a game I could play for hours if my Wiimote didn't drain batteries so quickly. The graphics are beautiful and the voice acting is top notch. Dialogue is well placed in lulls in the action so as not to distract the players...”

“Umbrella Chronicles is a game I could play for hours if my Wiimote didn't drain batteries so quickly. The graphics are beautiful and the voice acting is top notch. Dialogue is well placed in lulls in the action so as not to distract the players from incoming danger. Aiming can be a bit frustrating at times and sometimes action commands will fail whether you perform them correctly or not. The Wii Blaster, I've found, makes the "shake" action command next-to-impossible without killing the person next to you, and I had to quickly discard the blaster. Throwing grenades can be tricky if you don't have a Nunchuck. Despite it's shortcomings with the aiming system, Umbrella Chronicles is great, especially if you can't get through a real Resident Evil game but still want to play.”

“It really is nice to go through the old school PS1 Resident Evil games in a new manner, and the game plays well, including co-op. The Whesker missions are also great, revealing new plot devices and storylines”
