I really love this game, and I find it rather addicting... It's very challenging (if you want the A/S-ratings, that is) and it does have some learning curve in it due to the critical hit system (the game gets cooler and cooler once you can just take 6 zombies out in a row with only a handgun). It is also a very generous package, obviously made with a lot of attention and love for the series, and gives younger people like me who have never played 0,1 or 3 before both a quick overview of the storyline and a good incentive to purchase the older games. The sub-missions are actually better IMO than the 'real' missions, because you get to play all the cool people. I mean, come on: Wesker, HUNK and Ada Wong? Sign me up! It has issues, but for its sheer generosity and addictive fun, I'd give it 9/10. Message | Report |

And again (just like in RE4 for Wii) they messed up the widescreen mode ... It shows a 2cm border on both left and right side on my 42" tv. While the graphics is quite good in terms of Wii, this "glitch" really annoys me. While this is probably not experienced on all newer wide screens (and probably overlooked by the dev team), i guess quite a few will show it nevertheless. Can't they properly test their games on different TV sets ? Message | Report |

I am quite happy because it sold more than Capcom's expectations while still selling less than the RE4 port which bodes well for those of us who are hoping for a RE game with RE4 gameplay on the Wii. I haven't bought it yet as I am a bit tight with money at the moment so I keep it for Zack and Wiki's European release this week but I probably will pick it up eventually as it is getting some good reviews and gives more backstory to the early series.

This is the best light gun game that I have ever played. That includes House Of The Dead (which i cant wait for btw). Anyone that tries to get all of the files and the best possible ranking on hard will realize how much depth there really is to this game. It really is amazing considering how bad the other Resident Evil light gun games were. The boss battles are awesome. Medal of Honor Heroes 2 is a fine game but this is like a best of the Resident Evil series. 0, 1, and 3 are all represented here. Oh and a level with Ada and a level with HUNK. I pray that they make a sequel based on 2 and 4. See you guys, I'm going to shoot some zombies. Message | Report |

Someone made a very good point about this game in another thread. There will soon be over a million Wii owners who own a zapper after buying Link's Crossbow Training. Sooner or later many of them are going to start wondering what other games support their fancy new peripheral, and currently there are only three, the best of which is clearly Umbrella Chronicles. There's no doubt left in my mind that this game will make it to a million in a month or two at most. Message | Report |

Though it is selling more than RE4 at the same time, but it happened to be in the holidays which is a very different comparison. Also RE4 is selling more or equal to RE:UC now in NA and EU, i'm sure the rail shooter wont have as good legs as RE4 is having!! still should reach a million Message | Report |

Well of course it'll break a million. I can't believe people denied it ever would. I mean 720k in sales, but shipments have to be a lot higher. I mean come on we just came otu of holiday season. Everything gets extended shipments, especially a title that sells well like this one. Shipments are most likely between 850k-900k. Meaning all it needs to sell is about 100k more units to put shipments over, but this should sell over 1 million without needing that, but shipment wise it'll make it easily. Message | Report |

RE: UC is actually selling better than RE 4 Wii edition. It’s selling a good bit better in Japan and Others, and selling almost exactly the same in America. For comparison, in week 7, RE: UC was at 655, 877 and RE 4 was at 407, 542 world wide. This of course is what VGC says. Not to say that Wii gamers wouldn't buy another RE game that's like RE 4, but most of the one who didn't buy it for Wii played it on GC, probably. I hope there are more great RE games for the Wii! I'm glad both games are doing well! Message | Report |

As much as I'm liking how this game is doing, it pains me to think that there are (no question) people who bought it expecting it to play like Resident Evil 4. I couldn't imagine the anger I'd be in if I walked in the store, saw the game, thought 'oh yeah!', bought it, came home, and played the game only to find out that it's a rail shooter. As much as I'd like the occasional rail shooter, it needs to be treated like episodic gaming: shorter gamers at smaller price tags released more frequently. Unless Capcom makes this kind of game an occasional installment, I wouldn't want to see anything outside of Resident Evil 4's gameplay. Message | Report |

Just started playing this today - was my christmas gift afterall :D And I must say I'm very impressed, played about 2 hours worth now and I've just finished the first act of the Mansion Incident, as well as doing the first scenario and the Wesker scenario as well. Theres alot of incentive for replayability so I can see alot of time being sunk into this, and co-op is a blast. The one thing thats surprised me so far is alot of people and reviews I've seen complain about the critical spots. I feel their complaints are dumbfounded, they take genuine aim and pixel-perfect precision to pull off and are very rewarding when done so, it's an achievement really. I've found it's equally as quick to pump so many bullets to kill a zombie, but that second or so of good aiming is much more satisfying when the head goes pop and the body drops :D An 8/10 for me, excellent stuff, can't wait to play more!

I've been playing this game for a week now, and I must say it is HARD. Maybe it's because I've been playing pretty easy games lately, but dying several times during the first level, and having substantial trouble with the others even after figuring out the basics surprised me in a very good way. Not much trouble anymore, but it's still pleasantly challenging, and there's a sense of accomplishment when I realise I've had to learn how to play it. So far I've clocked in 10 hours on the game, most of which was me and my roommate playing in co-op. I'm still pretty motivated to get all the unlockables and raising my score, not to mention playing this at parties with other friends, so I think I'll get at least another 10h out of it. Heartily recommended to any fan of lightgun shooters or Resident Evil. It's not the most typical member of either genre, but great fun nevertheless. Message | Report |

The game paraphrazes and abrieviates alot of the events in its retelling of them, though it is fun and interesting to see the new takes on events. The Wesker stages are just unbelievably cool, the added story has no sense of being tacked on and feels completely genuine. The files and documents hidden throughout the stages are a gem and are an obvious service to hardcore RE fans as they answer many of the nagging mysteries of what the B.O.W.s are, why they were created, and what agent was used to manufacture them. The graphics are a tad of a draw back, low frame rates, low resolution texturing and over all a lacking polish. But they aren't bad, just underwhelming. Message | Report |

Ok, I just played a bit of the game (up until the scorpion) Here are my complaints. 1. When playing the game while being talked to by your mother, it's easy to press A when text comes up and miss an explanation of a gameplay mechanic. 2. Some of the voice acting, though good, is just a bit too stereotypical. The girl is a task force specialist with a gun who talks like a teenager afraid of spiders. 3. And Finally, the guy that says RESIDENT EVIL! at the title screen just sounds kind of silly. Aside from those clearly game ruining gripes, everything else is really cool. I'm liking it muchly.

The graphics are pretty much Resident Evil 4+. Capcom did say that they were using the same engine. However, there were tons of areas where the texture work was amazing, which says a lot, considering that Resident Evil 4 ran on nothing but really low resolution textures. Overall, the game is pretty good. Not great, but good. However, I can't recommend this to people who never got into the Resident Evil universe before, simply because this game became what it sought out to be: a plothole filler. Unfortunately, the production values aren't there as cutscenes are minimal and even Wesker's missions don't contain much story; it explains enough, but it's nothing like the mainstream series. Anybody that tries to pick this up as their first Resident Evil game won't get much out of this. The gameplay, however, is very solid. It has just about everything you'd expect from a lightgun game. But I do have one gripe: the pistol. Breaking away from lightgun tradition, the pistol in Umbrella Chronicles has its own rate of fire, no matter how fast you mash the trigger, which can really set you back. Also, some bits are downright murderous; you'll run into an area where an enemy will pop out and you literally have a second or less to fire and knock it back. You pretty much need a clairvoyant space mind to get through the game unscathed. However, the graphics are terrific, there's plenty of content, tons of hours of gameplay (based on my experience, you have about 6-8 hours just for a quick playthrough, plus more for unlocking certain files, equipment, or experiencing other branches of levels), and the controls are quite solid, despite having a small learning curve (as much as people call this a lightgun shooter, you don't have sights to look down or anything, so you're pretty much playing on muscle memory, if you get my meaning. You also have to compensate for wobbly enemies, a pinpoint cursor, and an occasionally unsteady camera). Overall, 8/10. This is at least a rental, though I'm glad I bought it. Message | Report |
