First, and let me point out, that i may be a little bias being a huge fan of the resident evil series, thus is getting a 5* review from myself. But, i do believe that the game is worth these stars, here is why:

Like its younger sister (Umbrella Chronicles), it re-tells the stories of the Orignial Resident evils (in this case RE2 and Code Veronica) in a much quicker, smoother format that generally involves the hero's being outnumbered, lost and looking awfully like dinner for the oncoming masses!

Being armed with a trusty pistol (to start with) and aquiring a small, yet considerably diverse and powerful armoury. You are thrown into first person shooter / survival horror through three chapters each containing 8 sub chapters.

Many experienced fans will be aware of the general foes that they come against though Capcom have cleverly reworked these foes and of course, implemented a few new ones. Each foe (no matter how tough) has weak points that must be aimed for in order to defeat them and avoid being mauled in the process - as anyone know's shooting a zombie in the chest is utterly useless when a single round to the skull will do the job much more appropriately.

After reading the low star reviews this game has got, i was appalled to see the reasons. "The Screen Moving" is one of the most frequent. True, the screen does move in the game, at times gently to represent your breathing, at other times more so than a drunken pirate on a sinking ship, this normally occuring after your have been stood next to an exploding fire truck or fallen down four flights of stairs!

This only add's to the fun of the game. You could train a monkey to stare at a screen and shoot at moving things.

Having enjoyed the Umbrella Chronicles, we decided to get the sequel as soon as it came out. As with the first game in the series, it is an excellent game with amazing graphics for the wii. I can't understand the haters, as I have played RE1 up to RE4 and this is equally well placed in my stack of games. If you don't like on rail games, then this is not for you! Why mark something down because it is not your cup of tea? Strange people...

Anyway, having completed the game on normal difficulty, I can give a fair review. Presentation is tops, with great orchestral music, and some from the earlier games in the series. Both action and graphics are up a notch or two over the original. The weapons system is slightly different, but I actually prefer it to the first. There are three chapters in all, with many stages in each one. Two player co-op is present and is a lot of fun.

This time around, the camera has changed. You no longer can look slightly around the edges of the screen. When I heard about this in previews, I was slightly put off. But to be honest, after completing the game, I never once missed it. So that is all good. And of course, the motion of the camera is more dynamic and fast paced. We found it to add tension to the game and acts to make the game more action packed. Some say it is impossible to play the game because of this. But none of us have had problems getting headshots and best ranks for each mission. I can see how some people may find it disorientating, but I guess it depends on how many light gun games you have played and how good you are.

I would recommend this game wholeheartedly, and it gave us a lot enjoyment - which is what it is all about. Hope there are more games like this on the way!!

By Su TOP 100 REVIEWER on 15 Sept. 2010
The story starts with Leon Scott Kennedy (former Raccoon City Police Department rookie, now a member of the Presidents Special Operations Command) in the jungles of South America with his new colleague, Special Forces operative, Jack Krauser (pre RE4). They have been sent in search of an Umbrella scientist who is believed to be working for local drug lord Javier Hidalgo. As they travel Leon fills Krauser in on his history with Umbrella, the T-virus and the G-virus (Resident Evil 2); as well as that of his friend Claire Redfield and her run in with the Veronica Virus (Resident Evil: Code Veronica).

This was my first experience of an on-the-rails shooter. I didn't know (understand) what to do; I wasn't in control of the movement in anyway and every time I tried to shoot the camera would move and I would miss. I became frustrated and put it to one side and returned to my favourite - Resident Evil 4 (Wii).

A couple of weeks later I played the game at my sister's house, as a co-op, and found that it was thoroughly enjoyable; she had taken to the on-the-rails game and so had a general idea of what to do - I just followed her lead. The fun that we had playing as a co-op encouraged me to return to the game as a solo player, and this time I understood what to do.

It was initially difficult to hit the zombies with the camera bouncing about ever where, but with a little practice you start getting the hang of it and then the game becomes more interesting, exciting and about survival.

The AI partner, when playing alone, is virtually useless as they rarely shoot at anything, or join in during boss fights.
