 No where as bad as I heard it was March 25, 2008
Although before buying this i heard it was terrible to play single player, i have not seen any truth to this. It is much harder to play single player simply because there are just as many enemies as when you play it co-op. And don't get me wrong, it's fun to play single player mode but 100 times more fun to play with a friend. So don't be afraid, and definitely check this out.
Oh, and the zapper helps SO much more in shooting.
 Probably good, but not for me March 21, 2008

A lot of people seem to like this game, so this is really just directed at the uninformed (i.e., nongamers like me whose first experience with the Resident Evil franchise was through its other Wii release, Resident Evil 4).
Warning! Resident Evil 4 is nothing like the other games in the series to date, and if you loved playing it, there's no guarantee you'll like this one. I LOVED RE4, but personally hated this one; It felt more like "Zombie Smash 2000" than RE4.
 Great Game.... Could use alittle refinement March 19, 2008
Keep in mind that this is not a typically resident evil game, it is more like house of the dead. To many complain that it is not like the other resident evil games, but it is not suppose to be this game is an arcade shooter.
Overall rating 7-7.5
Gameplay - 8/10. very innovative. The game moves you around through the levels but you still have the control to pan the screen left,right, up and down to get a better shot or find hidden first aid sprays or guns. Handgun unlimited ammo, find reloads for shotgun and machine gun and other weapons all around. You can blow up things up in the background like windows and lights.
Graphics - 7/10. Definitely does not have as good of graphics as resident evil games usually have, still good but needs some refinement. It is not as realistic when you shoot zombies they still lose their heads but basically no matter where you shoot them they are still stunned the same way.
On the over hand, it pretty realistic how you can shoot out windows, shoot down paintings on the wall, you can break lights and it will get darker.
Story - 7/10. Not as interesting as stories in the past, but still interesting and fun to listen to. It is also pretty cool to relive somethings from old resident evil games.
Replay-ability - 7/10. First off, Each part of the game is broken down into a scene. You can reenter old scenes that you have already played. They rank you for each scene based on hits, critical hits, objects in background broken, time it took to complete. It makes it interesting to go back and replay missions to beat your last score.
Second, this is 2 player game!!!!! Go Coop with a friend through missions, they can also come and go at any point. In other words, you can beat half the game 1 player then a second player can join half way through if they want.
However, this game is lacking in amount of play time, even a casual gamer will probably finish the game in a few days. (around 5 hours gameplay)
Verdict - No doubt that one would enjoy renting this game, but is it enough for a purchase? Probably not worth the full sticker price of $50, would make a great buy if on sale.
Its NOT Resident Evil 4 March 18, 2008

So I was completely addicted to Resident Evil 4 and then I beat it. I enjoyed every blood gushing minute of it. So I figured I would get Umbrella Chronicles after I finished with RE4. What a disappointment! The controls are tough to use (compared to RE4 anyway) and you can't control where you're moving....the game is controlling you instead. I'm just not a big fan. Since you have limited movement, you have limited opportunities to pick up herbs and ammo. If you walk past it and possibly miss it, you can't turn around to go get it. In my opinion, compared to RE4, this game pretty much sucks. Maybe some gamers like the format but not this one. I can't wait until RE5 comes out.
Fun filler, nothing more than that March 10, 2008

Fans of RE 0, 1 and 3 will no doubt get a kick out of this game. All of the key locations from these three entries get revisited and almost fully destructable in this rail-shooter.
I ain't no fan of rail shooter games. They were fine back in the days of Operation Wolf but nowadays they remind me too much of those awfully dated (and seemingly endless) House of the Dead games. I was a little wearing when purchasing RE: TUC but I knew it would be far superior to the other zombie shooter.
In between the rehashed levels you get to play as Wesker and find up what he was up to behind the scenes of the original games. If you unlock enough weapons and files you can also play a bonus level set in an industrial facility owned by Umbrella in the Russian snowy wastelands.
Some levels take a lot of repeating until you get the right combination of weapons and perfect the timing but not to the point that you'll be chucking your remote at the wall. I am terrible at these kind of games and I still managed it.
What disappointed me the most was the total lack of any kind of atmosphere. But it's not really that kind of game. RE: TUC is for those craving a dose of mindless violence rather than a problem-solving thinker.
But when you unlock absolutely everything there ain't much reason to go back to the game. It's basically just something to keep the fans from starving until RE5 comes out, whenever that will be. One thing's for sure, it won't be on the Wii.
