Hands-On: "There's no denying that the end experience is still a fun one. It looks good, too...Kawata is promising that the title will run between 15 and 20 hours long and while many of the environments will look familiar -- you'll play through portions of Resident Evil 0, 1, 2 and 3 -- this will be the first time most of them have been realized in true 3D." Further details on difficulty and gameplay.

Hands-on: "you'll occasionally come across a timed action scene that makes you hit the A button as soon as a cue flashes onscreen to avoid taking damage from a surprise attack of some kind...You can use the Nunchuk's analog stick to look around a little"

There's no doubt in our minds that at some point in the recent past, Umbrella Chronicles was a very different game to the one that has finally emerged. Early interviews with Capcom's team suggested Chronicles would be a game more like Resident Evil 4, while later interviews changed the script. It's hard to fault Umbrella Chronicles for what it's not, when what it is is so ridiculously fully-featured and complete.

What's funner than singleplayer Umbrella Chronicles? Co-op Umbrella Chronicles, that's what. And what do you know, the latest Famitsu has confirmed just that, with Capcom's upcoming on-rails zombie shooter for the Wii to allow for side-by-side play. Constant high-fives and action-movie-banter are not mandatory, but are of course highly recommended.

"It lacks polish, and it may have some annoying gameplay quirks that keep it from being a “great” game by definition, but as a tribute to the Resident Evil franchise, and a fun in-between game that works well in short bursts, UC delivers."
