resident evil U.C. is a great game in all but when me and my brother saved up to buy put it into the wii aaand it was an rail shooter and made me feel sort of an asshole for buying it and well to tell you the truth i learned my lesson by going to 3 different game rating websites take what all of them said and decide "do i want to buy this game"!!?!!

Its been a while since i played a new Resident Evil title. As soon as i played this and finished it, i only had several things to say, and i'll split them up below: PROS: Finally, something other than walk around, kill hundreds of Ganados (RE4). This addition of a railshooter version of RE, shows Resident Evil can try anything and be good at it (except for some like RE: Gaiden and Survivor). The sheer amount unlockable content and replay value has made The Umbrella Chronicles a nonstop action packed game for the Wii. CONS: i was so disappointed with the story. it wasn't funny and it was upsetting to see how everything that was Resident Evil in the past, was recreated to look something horrible with the story and the cutscenes: It was like trying to reinvent Resident Evil in the way it never was supposed to be. And as for an additional CON, the graphics were another disappointment, especially after the way the REMAKE of Resident Evil, Zero, and Resident Evil 4 looked. I give this game a score of 4.00 out of 5.00. Hopefully, if CAPCOM attempts another shot at a Resident Evil railshooter, let's hope they can piece together a better story, as well as graphics that are naturally updated to make the game more realistic like its predecessors before.

A Resident Evil light-gun shooter? Hey, it sounds great on paper. And "Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles" has plenty to like about it. If you're a Resident Evil fan, you'll love this game, I guarantee. If you're not...you might have a bit of a harder time. The game's plot consists of a retelling of the previous RE stories. You start off on the infamous train as Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen and work your way through that, through the even more infamous mansion and finally to Raccoon City itself. Not to mention the other chapters that you've never played through before. I won't give anything away for you RE fans, but I think you'll like where they go. Like "Ghost Squad" and "Medal of Honor: Heroes," this game uses the Wii Zapper, the new light-gun peripheral, which makes you feel more like you're playing in an arcade. But this game is less of a "Ghost Squad" - a jerky, trigger-finger experience - than "House of the Dead," which is to be expected on some level. Still, if you came into this game, as I did, expecting a fast-paced, adrenaline-rush experience, you may be a little disappointed. The game is often slow and plodding, with long breaks between enemies, and if you've played through the original games, the shocks aren't always, well, shocking. And once you start shooting at things, you'll find that this game is far harder than your average light-gun game. I found myself dying fairly early, fairly often, before I started to get the hang of things. And even then, I found the difficulty in the game just a major drain on my enjoyment. It's not that I don't like challenges in video games - I do - it's just that I wasn't expecting a huge one here. I was expecting something more fun. And as far as that goes, this game falls far short. But as far as the limited light-gun shooter market goes, this game, along with "Ghost Squad," should be on your pickup list if you're an RE fan. If you're not, rent it first. Try it out. And if you like where it takes you, pick it up.

when i first heard about the whole first-person house of the dead stuff i thought this game would suck terribly! but then i saw the gameplay video on ign.com and it looks great like not just great amazing. because its new! its doing to re4 what re4 did to all the other resident evil games!
