Please keep all discussion of Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles in this thread.

Anyone else play this one? The wife and I are working through it now on co-op. It's pretty good!! I'm impressed with everything. Great graphics/production, really looks like a creepy Resident Evil classic. Now, we are going through it on easy. And, we did go ahead and download a wicked-helpful game save to start off with maxed out weapons and unlimited ammo. But MAN is it ever fun!!

I played it late last year and early this year. I just got back to England and I'm looking forward to playing it with my friend some more.
I'd never play it single player but it's great in coop.

Cheater So how's the coop play in it, can you give us some impressions?

Co-op is great. You do the classic "you take the left side of the screen, I'll take the right" at various times when the enemy floods the screen. Another mini-game we invented was to see who could destroy the most environmental objects (lights, tables, etc) since the game tracks these and shows you a total at the end. Shooting all the lights is fun, but makes the level quite dark and more tough!

The other good thing is weapon balance. I would take a grenade launcher, and the wife would stick with submachine guns. Very useful for boss battles.

is it a On-rails shooter? or more like the older RE games, third person survival horror?

on-rails

My son and I got past the mansion levels but can't find anymore co-op content. Do you have to go through the Wesker/Rebecca single-players to unlock co-op play for the End of Raccoon?

In the meantime, I grabbed House of the Dead for the Wii. Very fun!

I don't know, sorry. When in doubt though, grab and load a completed game save!! It's a blast! And I'm looking to try House of the Dead soon also. I really wanted the glib 80's arcade-style zombie dismemberment and was disappointed in Umbrella Chronicles not having it. I'm hoping for something a bit more realistic (if I can use that word when discussing zombies) from House of the Dead.

I liked it a lot, but enjoyed Ghost Squad and House of the Dead 2 & 3 more. I found Umbrella Chronicles more challenging than the others, but I dont necessarily want a challenging arcade shooter. Thats why I like Ghost Squad best.
