...survivor franchise and has unleashed Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles on unsuspecting Wii owners. The last gun survivor game here in the US came out in 2003 (RE: Dead Aim) and was actually a pretty decent offing. Umbrella Chronicles turns Resident Evil 0, REmake (the Gamecube version of Resident Evil 1), and RE3 into light gun games, and throws in an all-new location to boot. This is one nostalgic trip down blood soaked memory lane for Resident ... ...through locations featured in the Resident Evil: Outbreak games instead (the police station was featured in RE: Outbreak File#2, so it was already ready to go). I'll leave it to you to figure out why I call the all-new Umbrella facility scenario "movie tie-in city", but I will say that in the future those horrible "movies" need to stay as far away from my Resident Evil games as they possible can! Anyway, every environment in the game is pretty much ...

Advantages: Fun gameplay, Fills in the gaps between games very well, Superb exclusive content. Disadvantages: Might be a bit confusing for newcomers to the series.
An exclusive Resident Evil for the Wii? Indeed it turned out to be so, Resident Evil fans may be aware that spin-offs from the main series are in general, terrible. I was overjoyed upon finding out that Umbrella Chronicles is indeed, not just better than all spin-offs but is also, in my opinion, better than some of the games in the main series, despite being an on-rails shooter, contrasting sharply with the other Resident Evil games. I find it important ... ...ability to play as Wesker, Resident Evil 4 changed that, but this did not satisfy these fans, it merely made them want more. The front cover has Wesker on it, the narration before levels is done by Wesker and the levels including Wesker are the most absorbing and fun. Resident Evil fans read on, Wesker fans will probably have heard enough to run out and make this purchase. == Gameplay == Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles is an on-rails shooter…no, ...

---------------------------
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, is better known in Japan as Biohazard: The Umbrella Chronicles (バイオハザード アンブレラ・クロニ 2463;ルズ Baiohazādo Anburera Kuronikuruzu?), for those hardcore gamers / Japan lovers ^_^. Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles (RE:TUC) is an ... ...Resident Evil series.
The game follows the story behind the downfall of the Umbrella Corporation by revisiting scenarios from Resident Evil Zero, Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2, and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. It concludes with an assault upon an Umbrella stronghold maintained by Sergei Vladimir. There are four main chapters with ten additional playable scenarios, divided up into a total twenty two levels. All the RE fun you can get!

Advantages: fun to play, nice to look out, surprises around corners Disadvantages: bit boring, feels too repetative
...some time to play the Resident Evil: the umbrella chronicles on the Wii myself, and what I found out is that you do not control the movement of the character, it is like from the old Sega arcade-shooter games and you progress by killing the bad guys but the camera will show you the directions towards the action and make you progress. You point and click the gun and kill the zombies, you point and pick up some items. It is like going old school. The ... ...background. The emphasis in Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles is on heart-pounding action, with the game leading through environments familiar from previous Resident Evil games. The basics of the game are quite easy to learn. It is quite difficult to kill the enemies as one have to empty entire clips of bullets to get a kill. It takes sometime getting used to killing them. There are critical hit spots that can take out enemies in a single shot ...

...original characters and Storylines from Resident Evil 1, 2, 3. You can upgrade your weapons to give you better ammo. You can also fight alone or With a friend in Co-Op mode. Its not really original because Time Crisis is just like this game.
Overall i think this game is ok
I hope you liked my first reiew ...

Advantages: plenty to do,many secret chracters,weapons to unlock and weapons upgrade. Disadvantages: can be very tired your arms when holding the wii remote for long hours of gameplay :P
This Resident Evil game is very different from is original game as you see the whole chracter in the screen as this game is like a first person shooter where you aim on the screen and shot like "House of the dead" and "Time Crisis" on the arcade's.
In my opinion an excellent game overall is has the storyline from Resident Evil Zero to 3 and a finally senario of the events after the racoon city incident so 4 senarios in total to game.
Playable chracters ... ...and Carlos in Three and final senario Chris and Jill again.
There also side missions where u play Wesker and you learn his part of the story too. Rebecca side mission of the events after ReE Zero and during ReE.Hunks story and Ada's mission.
So theres plenty of play also you can unlock new weapons for you the next time you play the missions again.

Advantages: Great arcade style game Disadvantages: could have more levels
Resident evil umbrella chronicles is an arcade style fps shooter, your characters have a set path that you cannot break and you shoot anything that moves or looks dodgey. You play through Resident evil 0, 1 and 3 they have the same storylines and characters as the original games. You get to play side missions as different characters such as albert wesker (im not all clued up on resident evil backstory but what i do know is this is a guy gone crazy ... ...good by the wii's standards but in the world that is HD dont be expecting it to compete against xbox 360 graphics for ps3 graphics. Regardless of this the visual screen is still good enough by my standards, The levels are dark to provide that even more creepy somethings gonna come round the corner and eat your face off feeling. The music and sounds in the game again give that added really creepy feeling with dark and ominous tones to build suspence. ...

To complete this task, you have access to a range of weapons which can be switched at any time.

The game can be extremely difficult and frustrating at times. Even the easier modes can sometimes be very challenging. Fortunately, the two player mode does make things easier in that respect.

This game made me jump so many times, the graphics are so good that I was jumping out of my skin!
I've played this game for hours on end, and I must say, that it is so much better if you're playing it 2 player! One player, I found, was really difficult, and i haven't completed all the one player levels yet because of this.
The grading system of D/C/B/A etc, is good because it makes you want to acheive the highest level possible, and keeps you playing ...
