Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles story is based on 'Resident Evil 2' and includes the popular characters, Leon S Kenney and Claire Redfield. Its on-rails style gameplay and active camera will create a more immersive "Chronicles" survival experience. As in the last installment, this is a first-person game with extreme shooting gameplay and interactive pathways. Filling in many of the missing pieces of storyline that were not covered in the original "Umbrella Chronicles," Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles will give hardcore fans the chance to relive some of the most memorable moments of the Resident Evil franchise, while allowing new players to take advantage of the intense action-horror the series delivers.
Gamers can choose to take on their enemies with the help of an AI-controlled character or enlist the help of a friend to fight via two-player co-op. Adding new dimension and strategy to the arcade-style gameplay in the "Chronicles" experience, the new Evade system will utilise the Wii Remote for a more intense experience when fighting enemies.

Fun enough romp through the locations and storylines of the old RE games but the realistic swinging camera can make for some incredibly frustrating gameplay. The level design is strange too. Some levels will take under 10 minutes to zoom through whilst others can take half an hour. If you want to avoid cramp or RSI take breaks! If you enjoy light gun games and RE then it's worth a rental but don't get your hopes up.
