Kotaku writes: "The Year of the Wii Lightgun Shooter continues with a Resident Evil entry that is two-thirds fun retro, never scary yet surprisingly generous. Too bad it makes a poor first impression.
Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles is a follow-up to 2007's Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles. Both Wii games are lightgun takes on gaming's most famous horror series. The first presented Resident Evils 0, 1 and 3 in an on-rails shooting-gallery format. The new game remakes Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil Code: Veronica, wrapped with a short new pre-Resident Evil 4 adventure called Operation Javier. All three scenarios star returning Resident Evil icons - Claire Redfield and Leon Kennedy, Redfield and Steve Burnside, Kennedy and Jack Krauser - allowing a player to pick one to control or to have a friend shoot as the other one."
Numbered entries aside, there have been a whole host of other Resident Evil games, across multiple platforms. Here are some you might have missed.
"As a longtime fan of the franchise there are several improvements I would like to see, and after the success of Resident Evil 7 and Monster Hunter: World, Capcom seems to be making all the right decisions with their tentpole franchises. Hopefully, this will be no different." -- PlayStation Enthusiast
The top five of the best PlayStation Move compatible light gun games that have been released for the PlayStation 3.
House of the Dead 3 and 4 should be on the list. I still play Overkill on a regular basis, worth buying a move just for that game alone. The Cabela games that support move are fun too.
Is Rambo, Move compatible? And there is also Child Of Light which is sort of a shooting game.
i wish they also made light guns like the arcade ones. they r faster at aiming and more accurate..
best rail shooter on the wii.
Buy this over dead space extraction. Extraction is short and has zero replay value. Darkside chronicles has loads of extras and it's pretty long. I bought it last night and i'm really enjoying it, especially the re2 levels. I really enjoy the new approach to it. Of course some elements have changed but it still retains the overall look from the psx game. Plus the graphics are top notch. I hate the saying, "looks good for a wii game" but the game looks really good. Better than 90% of the garbage that's on the wii.
