Kotaku: Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles Review: Three's A Welcome Trend

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."

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.

Code veronica
the most difficult RE ever

2pacalypsenow2297d ago

Hell yeah it is.

That tyrant on the plane bit is a pain.

ButchKween2297d ago

That was my 1st entry into the series and yes it's very hard but so rewarding. If you don't play it right you can't actually progress If you're low on ammo 4 boss fight on plane or final boss. or if u don't leave ammo for the 2nd character later in the game in item box. I found that out the hard way. Just FYI even though Claire's the main character you play Chris for the final boss fight you better make sure there's enough items for him in the Box or you are fu@#$d

2pacalypsenow2297d ago

Fun fact, Code Veronica is actually the sequel to 2 and RE3 is a spin-off

IRetrouk2297d ago

Originally yes, it was going to be a spin off with a different lead, they changed it to Jill to tie it into the series and made it a companion title to 2 instead, cv is a sequel to both lol

"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.

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.

sypher3722d ago

Is Rambo, Move compatible? And there is also Child Of Light which is sort of a shooting game.

from the beach3722d ago

Rambo is indeed Move compatible. Child of EDEN is too - I've only got the Kinect version but it's the best Kinect game and probably the best Move game.

No idea how this site missed HOTD 4.. and it remains a great shame more of Sega's gun games from that era didn't make it across to PS3 via Move.

sypher3721d ago

Ah yeh sorry, meant Child Of Eden :p the mizuguchi game. Got the names mixed up lol

Ahmay3721d ago

i wish they also made light guns like the arcade ones. they r faster at aiming and more accurate..
