Strengths: goes through RE series, good graphics, decent and lengthy for a lightgun game
Weakness: can be slow for a lightgun game compared to HOTD. levels can drag on. no calibration
RE UC is a decent off-title to the RE series. It covers the entire series and revisits areas from the older games but in a lightgun perspective. This is a fun game if you have another person to play with. Lots of weapons, upgrades, and levels to go through for a lightgun game. It's pretty slow however as a lightgun game, and there's no calibration to let you aim "through the sights" of your...
Strengths: fun, good history, lots to do
Weakness: on rails, repetitive, not scary
Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles is a solid light gun type game. It is a good recap of Resident evil history and is fun to play. Gets a little repetetive but there is a lot to do. Overall, 4 out of 5 stars.
Strengths: If you like shooter arcade-like games, this one's a must. Arcade-like play and interactivity at its best.
Weakness: Requires a TV with good contrast. Some of the button assignments take some getting used to.
Individuals who enjoy popping quarters into the arcade game first-person shooters will enjoy this game. The arcade-like play simulates what you find in physical arcades. The biggest problem is that you need a TV with an excellent contrast ratio, or you will be missing a lot of the detail and background in the game. This is especially becoming a problem with the advent of LCDs as popular TV...
Strengths: Graphics: Finally something written for Wii rather than ported from older generation consoles.
Weakness: Rail Shooter, not typical FPS.
It all depends on your taste. I personally prefer traditional FSP, where I have control where to go and the speed I go thru the game. Umbrella Chronicles is a rail shooter. The game control your movement and the speed you move thru the game. All you do is aim and shoot. Shooting is one aspect of games. Another important aspect is exploration which is missing in this type of game. I still give...
Strengths: New creative use of the wii remote and nunchuck, fun co-op play, Fills in various gap in story mode
Weakness: Very short game play, especially co-op mode; some frustration with the control and sensor; Picky Save Feature
This is a solid line into the Resident Evil chapter. While nowhere close to its highly rated brother, Resident Evil 4, this Resident Evil made a solid name in the rail shooter category for the Wii. Overall game play is pretty solid, despite being very short. Control and sensor motion can be jiggly at time, but you'll get used to it. Some boss scenes are frustrating, especially with the lack of...
Strengths: Very great game which uses the wiimote and the wiizapper beautifully!
Weakness: too short!
This is a great game,especially if you have a partner to play with. The game is a great shooter and the wiizapper is a must if you want the full experience. Lots of plot twists and scary moments, well worth the price and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys shooter games!
Strengths: Half RE and half shooting game play, zapper or gun interactive, decent storyline and difficult(for me, anyways).
Weakness: Pretty straight forward, no control on character direction and 2 players mode makes target jittery.
I bought this game the same time I bought the Wii and Zapper for my Christmas present. Can't comment on the remote and nunchuk game play since I've only used the Zapper. Haven't played RE in a while so this brought back some fond memories. Most dedicated RE fans will be disappointed with this game, since the game play is in 1st person view, character not controllable, and not thought provoking....
Strengths: action packed, compliments the wii zapper, good story line
Weakness: graphics could be better, repetitive, slow at times
if you buy this game, the wii zapper is almost an absolute must. the gameplay is decent and there's plenty of action, but it's not as good as RE4. that game set the bar pretty high for all future games in the RE series. i like how this game adds to the RE storyline and fills in the gaps of all previous games. fans will love this game. newbies, might not be that into since nothing will be familiar...
Strengths: Easy to control. Actually you don't have to worry about any puzzle on this game
Weakness: Just point and shoot. That's it. No hard thinking or anything...
Couple of hours fun. After that, just same stuff over and over again. If you are resident evil's fan, this game might give you more detail about whole story line. I recommend this game to someone who want to enjoy the shooting.

Set in the universe of Resident Evil, Umbrella Chronicles follows the heroes and heroines of Resident Evil 0, 1, and 3 as they battle the sinister creations of the Umbrella corporation. Played entirely in first person, Umbrella Chronicles is a shooter that is entirely on rails (think House of the Dead). Occasionaly you have the choice of veering off the beaten path, breaking down doors and...

Ever since the T-virus was first unleashed, Capcom has been trying to find ways to expand the Resident Evil series. Direct sequels have gotten very complex and can no longer be made in the usual 18 to 24-month timeframe. Hence the Resident Evil remake, the Wii version of RE4, the attempt at online play, and a bunch of PSone offshoots. Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles is another offshoot....

Scary
Strengths: very good story
Weakness: none
This is one of my favorite games. The story is so scary and very involved. This is a more favorite from the series. Very fun levels
