Umbrella Chronicles!
« on: March 10, 2008, 06:58:42 PM »
This is a surprisingly good game. Outside of the fact that Wii-mote aiming still sucks, this is a reasonably engaging rail shooter. It is, however, almost criminally difficult playing alone. And staring off in RE:0? That's like having to shit on your Christmas gifts before you get to open them. No RE:2 is also a fucked up idea. But the sheer amount of content and the variety involved is nice.

That 2nd level boss was a bitch fucker, though. Holy shit it took me like 40 minutes alone.

You have to do levels in co-op in order to actually finish the game. Fail

There's enough content for a BUY!, but I'd suggest waiting for budget or a long rental.

So Ghost Squad is a better buy?

Holy shit. Wesker's 2nd boss is fucking hilarious.

In a case of "Oh shit, most of our franchises aren't as cool as DMC", they add in some like 9 foot, 400 pound Russian who had a two-bladed saw thing and keeps cutting himself. But this isn't the guy you fight.

Instead you fight a 10 foot black man with the silliest pair of sunglasses I've ever seen. That's correct- Wesker gets mugged by a black man as his second boss. Oh god.  :lol :lol :lol

It's like they just copy--->pasted some concept art from Devil May Cry into the game. i HAVE to find screenshots.

the game is great - hell playing the RE0 story in this game is more fun than playing RE0.

If you want straight-out arcade shooting, yes.  If you want a much longer game with a lot of storyline, get UC.
