I wasn't too thrilled about the idea of an on rails RE game when umbrella chronicles was announced. It did eventually grow on me though. I figured I'd get the sequel since i sorta enjoyed the original. It's probably just as good as the original but the shaky cam is kinda annoying. At least it has areas from RE 2 which is still the best game in the series IMO. These rails shooter RE games get alot of haters but they sure are more replayable than the main series games.

Agreed on the replayability. The only Resident Evil games I own are the two "Chronicles" games - I get the story, the cheesiness, the cut scenes and the action without the crappy tank controls and the filler. It's really the perfect way to experience Resident Evil as far as I'm concerned.

House of the dead 2 and 3 and Ghost squad are much better games. Made by AM2 Japan.

I like the old survival horror Resident Evil games, despite their flaws... but I also enjoy the on-rails games. It's great to get the full series recap in just two games! Still haven't bought Darkside Chronicles though. Really should sometime before too long.

I enjoyed it. The fact that it's on rails took it down a bit in my book, but it was better than the Umbrella Chronicles.

I love the "crappy tank controls" in RE4 (and in the add-on RE5). They're very very good. I haven't played yet the chronicles games. It doesn't turn me off that it's a rail-shooter.. I think it's one of the appeals of the Wii and it makes sense to make those games, but I don't like it that they didn't make more of the RE4 kind gameplay for the Wii. It worked perfectly and there should have been more (RE5 included, which is a disappoitnment but stil pretty nice game, at the end of the day, that could run on the Wii just the same).

So ends a saga older than time itself.

I doubt that they're better.,.. seriosuly. Ghost Squad is fun but it's like a half-an-hour game. I was disappointed there although it's fun.

So the two Chronicles games tell the whole story? The thing is RE5 spoils the whole story for you - it tells you everything, so I'm not sure if I'll enjoy it that much. I started with RE4. I want to play Darkside because I want to play Mr. Kennedy again...

Sega AM2 know their stuff when it comes to making these games and have been doing it good since 94

Saying that these chronicles games are more story based.

I prefer the story-driven aspect and the fact that the Chronicles games are widescreen.

Too much shaky cam... otherwise pretty good.

Yah.It was OK.Not a patch on the masterpiece that was RE4 though. I want a sequel to that using the Wii versions engine not some spin-off,onrails shooter but ,you know, Wii have to take what Wii can get.
Not played 5 having heard so many poor reviews I'm not sure I should.

What's this bit for again?

RE5 isn't a bad game - you should still give it a shot. Just don't expect something as good as 4, because the latest sequel isn't nearly as innovative or exciting. (You should also try to find a friend to play the game with - the co-op experience is much better than the CPU-controlled partner.)

it was very good... I am a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge RE fan! I think if they could combine the best things of both chronicles parts it would be an awesome game!

Yeah.I may try to play it if I see it cheap sometime. Thing is these days my playtime is limited so I've no time for sub-par games.Its hard enough trying to fit in all the AAA titles that have been released recently .Actually I think my mates got it,I'll borrow it from him.

I love it. Great graphics, great atmosphere and it's nice to see scene's from previous games in 3D. Too bad the ingame voice acting sucks. But since I love onrail shooters, I love the game. The shaky cam is really immersive. But it makes it extremely difficult to make a decent headshot. So I really prefer RE: UC. Still a great game though.

Why Make an Resident Evil Game like this if you made one Better before.
RE4: Wii Edition was Awesome. one of the Best Rated M game on the Wii.
So. Capcom, why do you give us this Disappointment of an Resident Evil game.
Why can The Wii get another Resident Evil game like RE4.

Capcom is doing what Sega did with Sonic, Why make this Bad Sonic Game, if you can make an Great Game like Sonic 3.
Why not make another like it.

For you, the day LordJumpMad graced your threads, was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday.

I only played it briefly so far. I find it's not bad. It's too early to tell but I think HOTD: Overkill may be better. The controls feel fine but there are a lot of times I get hit where it seems like it's unavoidable. The camera also swings around a lot making more missed shots than I would like. You gotta memorize things more I guess.
