Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles

intense enough for die hard fans and easy enough for casual gamers. on February 19, 2008

Well where to start,I personaly think the game is great I'm a huge fan of resident evil and I've followed the series for over 10 years now and theres been some good and some bad from it.First off I'm starting to believe that capcom is finally getting the hang of making light gun games,because before RE survivor left a bad taste in my mouth but now I taste sweet victory at last with an entry into the series that actually fills the gaps and does'nt make up an entirely different story with nothing to do with the originals.The game play itself is not demanding of you to the point you would rather beat it with a hammer then play it,I've let friends who have never played and who are casual gamer have a go at it and after about ten minutes they had zombies in different peices also I would like to add that if you happen to have the zapper like I do it does give you more a sense of realism then most hunks of plastic they offer,and the graphics are not bad at all in real time,escecially since it's in first person.And in most cases that's where many games get ugly because you get a first hand look at gritty and dull texture or bad detail.I will admit that the story is not as deep as the others but in a nut shell the game serves it's purpose by giving a solid shooting experience all the while filling in on unknown story plots.I think resident evil the umbrella chronicles is a jewl of a game that not many game consoles see in the first year and a half of it's existence,I would recomend it to any fan and to anyone not afraid to jump a little while playing games.
