IGN AU Reviews Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles (8/10)

Patrick Kolan writes:

"Mostly, however, Umbrella Chronicles does a solid job. It takes repetitive rails-shooting gameplay and retreads a lot of arguably worn locations and Resident Evil territory, but it never feels stale. In fact, a degree of knowledge about the previous games not only helps the choppy storytelling to gel a little better, it also gives you a tactical advantage. You'll have a good idea of what key enemies you're going to encounter (and thus, when to save your grenades or heavy munitions), and secrets to keep an eye out for. In this way, Resident Evil fans are definitely encouraged to try their hand at Umbrella Chronicles. It comes close to greatness and definitely rounds out the much-needed hardcore gaming category on the Wii."

Behind AC: New Horizons, this is my 2nd most wanted game this year.
Until Capcom remade RE2, RE3: Nemesis on PS1 was my favourite RE game.

Tross1879d ago (Edited 1879d ago )

I do think it's easily one of the most underrated RE games. I'm looking forward to fending off REmake Nemesis, especially since I heard his appearances throughout the game will now be somewhat randomized.

Umbrella chronicles is still my favourite it was really cool going back and playing the classics with updated graphics.

Nerdmaster1879d ago

I would say I thought Darkside Chronicles was better mainly because 2, Code Veronica and 4 (kind of represented in the game by Leon and Krauser) are my favorite games. But the super shaky camera in Darkside really bothered me...

Code veronica
the most difficult RE ever

2pacalypsenow2279d ago

Hell yeah it is.

That tyrant on the plane bit is a pain.

ButchKween2279d 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

2pacalypsenow2279d ago

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

IRetrouk2279d 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

Are we ever gonna see psnow in Europe territories such as france, Italy, Germany...
Why are we always getting the same shitty treatment from Sony. Especially considering we are their leading territory.

Junebug3393d ago (Edited 3393d ago )

I would hope so... Japan is going to get ni no kuni as a PS Now as far as I can tell.

Rob72743393d ago

Well if you all spoke English it would make things easier lol.

Just messing I hope they fix this soon as your right the countries you mentioned have been the most loyal to Sony over the last 5-10 years.
I'm sure there working on it.
