I also find that UC suffers from a number of segments that literally involve doing nothing, in an effort to build up some type of suspense or jump scare that never ends up paying off. Darkside Chronicles has a bit of this too, but to a much lesser extent. Umbrella Chronicles also suffers greatly from some kind of awful shaky cam effect that really makes the shooting more troublesome than necessary. It’s also overly reliant on the previous Resident Evil storylines, whereas Darkside Chronicles at least tries to show you new stuff and is more willing to go off the rails to some extent. Umbrella Chronicles, on the other hand, feels a little bare bones and its overall experience, from the actual shooting to the weapon customization, feels a little bland. At least Darkside tries to carry over some type of arcade feel to its shooting mechanics, including a visible, on-screen bonus multiplier for headshots. And for this particular duo, Umbrella Chronicles fares worse than Darkside Chronicles. So spreading that experience out over five or six hours tends to get a little tedious. They’re not meant to be played for hours on end, and their gameplay is so paper thin that spending more than an hour or two at one machine will lead even the most devout fan to the occasional fit of boredom. It’s because they’re pretty much perfect quarter crunchers, providing difficulty steeped in reflex, skill, and showmanship that helps them stand out, along with cool plastic toy gun accessories that continue to get more and more ridiculous which each successive release. There’s a reason while light gun games seem to thrive in arcades, and have managed to continue on even in an era where the arcade is little more than a novelty for most. It’s a much beefier experience than say, House of the Dead, and will take you a number of hours to get through each game, which is certainly much more than the typical one or two hour experience found in arcade light gun titles.īut on the flip side of that, the games do tend to wear out their welcome a bit too soon.

On the plus side, you feel like you’re getting a fair amount of game for your money, especially at $15 a pop for each game, or $30 for the whole deal. And while publishers like Namco and SEGA generally have the market cornered on that particular niche genre, Capcom does give it a pretty good shot with both titles.īut being made for consoles only comes with both benefits and consequences here. However, instead of using the tried and true Resident Evil gameplay, these revisits are presented in the form of a light gun shooter, not unlike something you’d find in an arcade.

Both titles in this set are basically trips down memory lane in the Resident Evil universe, covering your main entries like the original game, RE 2, 3, 4, Code Veronica, and even Resident Evil 0.

And this has little to do with the actual port here, which seems really solid and definitely benefits from being upscaled as far as both games are concerned.īut first, for everyone that isn’t familiar with these titles or didn’t play their original Wii releases, let’s talk a bit about what the Chronicles Collection actually is. For this review we were given a code for the whole package, which is how I’m going to review and grade the game here, but if I were to break these down into two entities, Darkside Chronicles certainly ranks much higher for reasons I’ll explain in a bit. While there is an option on the PSN store to purchase Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles and The Darkside Chronicles as a single entity, I’m going to say upfront in this review that I think you’re better off going with just picking up The Darkside Chronicles.
