It is a waste of money if you are expecting anything like the older games. I have been looking forward to this for some time now, and to have it spoiled by them changing the whole game disappoints me! Why try to fix something that wasn't broken in the first place??? Save your money and wait for something better to come out.

Complete Deparature from Everything Good in Resident Evil series

We were so excited to buy this game we bought it the day it came out without reading any reviews. Big mistake! We had loved all the other Resident Evil games so much that we had faith this one would also be great. You cannot even control the characters in the game and it's basically just target practice for you and your Wii controller. None of the story line is new. It's all scenes from previous games. Our favorite aspect of previous Resident Evil games is the puzzle-like quality where you need to collect things and figure out how to use them later on in the game. This game required no thinking whatsoever. Very disappointing. $50 down the drain for 15 minutes of disappointment.

After getting a Wii, the next step was to pick up a few games, one of which was Resident Evil. It just came out, it's $50 bucks, it's on the Wii, must be pretty good, right? Dead wrong. This game is terrible, don't rent it and definitely don't buy it - but if you really want it I'll sell you mine.

The graphics are decent but there is NOTHING to the game. You can't control your character, monsters just pop up on the screen and you shoot them. That was great in the days of Atari and Coleco Vision when you were the talk of the neighborhood just because you had a game system other than Pong. It doesn't take advantage of the Wii system in any way. In addition to shooting monster you can shake the Wii controler to fend off attacks but there is really no strategy, no interaction, it just sucks. If you must try it, rent it somewhere but it's not worth your hard earned cash to buy it.

It was just dissapointing...

I would be lying if I said that I was a RE fan, my first game was RE 4. I loved RE 4, was fascinated by it and understood why RE was so successful. Umbrella Chronicles was a MAJOR disappointment. The fact that I don't control the character is annoying; I save that when I go to the arcades and play House of the Dead, which is fun but it's an arcade game. I paid 50 dollars + tax to play a game that would make me think. This game is so mindless that I feel my brain cells dying. It was just a waste of my time. Since I first started that game I just didn't like it.I gave it a chance and lost hours of my lifetime that I'll never get back. Don't buy this game. I would only suggest it if you have absolutely nothing to do, and when I say nothing I mean NOTHING.

disappointing

Well I never knew what a "shooter on rails" was until i got this game. Its not as much fun to play as the previous one because you only aim and shoot. YOu don't control where your character goes. It gets old quick too. I'm not sure I would recommend it even for a rental and the graphics are not too impressive but its a wii game so that goes without saying.

Disappointment.....why a rail shooter?

I loved RE 4...I don't understand what was gained by making it a rail shooter. All the finesse and strategy is striped from the game. All you have is the most mindless of shooters.......I thought we moved away from this way back in the day DOOM anyone?

Not What I Would Expect From A Resident Evil Game!

How do I put this...I am a HUGE resident evil fan. Minus the dumb movies they totally screw up with their own themes I really think almost all the games are just awesome I have 0-4 on gamecube and plus the others. This has to be by far the worse one of all. As I was playing I was wondering if many of you thought the same and you did!! It was just like playing house of the dead when things just pop at you and all you do is shoot. I was impressed with the graphics but thats just about it. The voice acting? I laugh my booty off. Here I am fighting off gorillas and your asking me how did I escape from prison??...LOL. Conversation start in the strangest times. I am more intrested in fighting zombies then telling you how I escaped jail..LOL In any case I brought the game and got half way and sold it on e-bay for 30.00. I brought it for 49.00. I admit at times you were at the edge of your seat but to me this was more of a rental then a own. Like one review said I would rather go to an arcade and put a quater in then pay 50.00 dollars for it. Sorry...this RE just doesn't do it for me. I will be renting this it's just not enough for me to own it.

Low quality game, doesn't belong on the Wii

This game belongs on an old, grimy 80s arcade machine in an abandoned bowling alley, not on the Wii.

I was expecting a game where you could actually move around, control what you are doing, and play a game. Instead what you have is a button to fire a gun while the screen slowly moves through various darkened scenes. You cannot move your character around, the screen just moves from one zombie to another as you push the button to shoot the gun.. . and that is the entire videogame.

Besides not being able to do anything, you'll notice the graphics are terrible. You can watch as the 'curtains' move off to the side. They are flat objects that bend in a spot, with big pixelated textures. What a complete joke of a game. This game wouldn't be worth the price if it was $20. It certainly is not worth $50. This is a throwback 20 years in game quality.
