Annoying shaky-cam. Extensive reuse of old storylines.
Abstract: We were disappointed when Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles was announced a few years back, again when news of Dead Space: Extraction broke, and yet again when we heard about Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles. It seems that whenever the next-gen...
you get your money’s worth here. If I was to put Darkside Chronicles up against the other monster-shooting light-gun Wii games this year, I would say that it doesn’t have the straight-up arcade fun like HotD: Overkill and it’s a step below the presen...
While this game is a significant upgrade over Umbrella Chronicles, it reminded me too much at times of the House of the Dead series in terms of both game play and presentation. In the event Capcom decides to create another rail shooter based on its pop...

Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles is highly derivative of previous RE titles, and playability is hampered by an annoyingly shaky camera, but it's still a reasonably fun mission to clean up the latest Umbrella Corp mess (and shoot up a mess of zombies...
Abstract: Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles takes a shotgun approach to game development and misses all the targets. Fans of the series will have problems with the on-rails shooter gameplay and flat dialogue. On-rails shooting fans will have problems with t...

Abstract: Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles marks the first follow-up to Capcom's attempt at bringing the RE series into the lightgun shooter genre of games, a genre that's long been dominated by one other zombie/monster themed title, namely Sega's House of...
Abstract: Despite existing in a gaming market that has largely abandoned the on-rails shooter, 2007's Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles clearly amassed enough positive feedback (and dollars) for Capcom to offer up Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles. Bui...
Abstract: If the past few years of pop culture have taught me anything, it's that the zombie apocalypse is forever right around the corner. There it is! Oh wait, that's just a surly goth... Sometimes it can be difficult to tell the undead from the terminally bor...
