Ram Umbrella

Advantages: Great arcade style game
Disadvantages: could have more levels

...Resident evil umbrella chronicles is an arcade style fps shooter, your characters have a set path that you cannot break and you shoot anything that moves or looks dodgey. You play through Resident evil 0, 1 and 3 they have the same storylines and characters as the original games. You get to play side missions as different characters such as albert wesker (im not all clued up on resident evil backstory but what i do know is this is a guy gone crazy for power) The graphics in the game are pretty good by the wii's standards but in the world that is HD dont be expecting it to compete against xbox 360 graphics for ps3 graphics. Regardless of this the visual screen is still good enough by my standards, The levels are dark to provide that even more creepy somethings gonna come round the corner and eat your face off feeling.

Advantages: Fun gameplay, Fills in the gaps between games very well, Superb exclusive content.
Disadvantages: Might be a bit confusing for newcomers to the series.

...An exclusive Resident Evil for the Wii? Indeed it turned out to be so, Resident Evil fans may be aware that spin-offs from the main series are in general, terrible. I was overjoyed upon finding out that Umbrella Chronicles is indeed, not just better than all spin-offs but is also, in my opinion, better than some of the games in the main series, despite being an on-rails shooter, contrasting sharply with the other Resident Evil games. I find it important to point out that Capcom has made this as a ?love letter? to fans, specifically the die hard Wesker fans, who (believe me) are numerous. Frustrated with previous lack of ability to play as Wesker, Resident Evil 4 changed that, but this did not satisfy these fans, it merely made them want more. The front cover has Wesker on it, the narration before levels is done by Wesker and the levels... Read review

Advantages: Long game, pretty sweet light-gun mechanics.
Disadvantages: The bizarre inclusion of movie info, but the reducing of characters. O_O

...ust like the zombies in the games themselves, Capcom has resurrected its gun survivor franchise and has unleashed Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles on unsuspecting Wii owners. The last gun survivor game here in the US came out in 2003 (RE: Dead Aim) and was actually a pretty decent offing. Umbrella Chronicles turns Resident Evil 0, REmake (the Gamecube version of Resident Evil 1), and RE3 into light gun games, and throws in an all-new location to boot. This is one nostalgic trip down blood soaked memory lane for Resident Evil fans. But people just looking for a good time will find it here as well. RE: UC takes players on a nostalgic filled trip through RE0, the Remake, and RE3 in light gun shooting form, and it's all narrated by captain bad-ass himself, Albert Wesker! Relive the train of death with Billy and Rebecca; walk... Read review
