So I picked up Umbrella Chronicles this weekend, and i have to say, it can get a "Hell yea!"

It kinda hurts your wrist to hol the wiimote like a gun for long periods of time, but I'm guessing the gun attachment will solve that. Totally worth checking out. (By the way, it covers Resident Evil 0, 1, and 3, both from the main characters' perspectives as well as some cool alternate ones, like Rebecca in RE1 and wesker for all of 'em. And all the main missions can be either 1 or 2 player.) I'd give it an 8 out of 10.

    By gun attachment, you mean the 'Wii Zapper', right?

    Apparently the Wii Zapper kind of hinders gameplay, I don't have the zapper yet, but I do have RE:UC, and I can see how it'd be hard to play with it.

    Because?

    Well, swinging the knife would be harder, and the rapid button pressing sequences would be harder too, since "B" is really the only button with easy access.

    Not to mention that I'd probably have to change my aiming hand to be comfortable.

    I'm sure the Zapper is good with Link's Crossbow Training, and Ghost Squad, though.

    Between this and the Wii version of RE4, which would you say is the lesser of two wiivils?

    well, it's hard to judge, UC being the new title, RE4 being totally awesome, but wiicycled. They're both totally swiit, and very different games. UC is definitely on of the best rail shooters I've seen in a loooong time. It totally reminds me of when I first started playing Area 51 back in the day.

    RE4:Wii Edition is cheaper, and longer, so, if you hadn't played RE4 at all, I'd recommend that over RE:UC. But if you've played RE4 before, RE:UC is a better Wii experience.

    I don't actually have a Wii, and probably won't get one for a few months at least. I just wanted to make that pun.

    Sill, I have been holding off on getting the PS2 version of RE4 because I don't want to be stuck with an inferior port if I ever get a Wii.
