TAKE COVER

Pros Cons
Addictive gameplay Not enough content
Fantastic multiplayer Poor storytelling
Epic boss fights Braindead computer AI
Intense action Repetitive gameplay
Awesome audio

For a rail shooter it is not that bad of a game it is actually fun if you have a buddy its a buy if not dont get it

Better than you think

Pros Cons
Addictive gameplay Ugly visuals
Fantastic multiplayer Poor storytelling

Play through all of the Resident Evil games again from a new perspective! Now if rail shooters aren't you're thing then don't expect much. This one has decent visuals for a wii game but they get pretty muddy at times. Despite that this is the best rail shooter on the Wii right now. It is much longer than a normal rail shooter (like house of the dead or ghost squad) and there are a ton of items to collect and items to destroy. Awesome Game!

Rail Light Gun

Thats what this is. Just a Light gun game on Rails. However you can look slightly left and right to give it that kinda free feel but all in all, your still on the rail. The game is good and fun if you can play co-op. Because man oh man this game gets kinda hard. Its fun to play through all the games, because you literally do. You go through part of all the games. You fight a boss and close the file and start with a new character. I like playing as the bad guys, just fun that way. The graphics look like art work and are done well. The gameplay is good if you like light gun games, if you don't then don't bother playing this. All in all a fun game to play, but not a must have.

The New House of the Dead

you remeber when you went to the movies and there was the old arcade system with the gun and everything? well thats what this game is, only the arcade system is your wii and the guns are your wiimotes. in this game, the game is a 1st person shooter (duh) and the story is 4 stories in one plus some sub stories. the game summarizes resident evil 0, resident evil remake, resident evil 3 and a brand new never before seen mission that takes place in a base located in the fridged cold of russia with an array of guns and other goodies to unlock, you will be occupied with this game for a long time. i give this game a 4.75

Decent Game

Not a bad game. Especially if you like the light gun games from the arcade. The GP review kind of sums it all up.
