resident evil: umbrella chronicles

In preparation for next week's Friday the 13th launch of Resident Evil 5, we decided to check out Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, an on-the-rail adaptation of three earlier RE games updated for the Wii. If you've never tried this game, I highly recommend it! The graphics look superb on the Wii and really makes you wonder why there aren't more realistic action-type games on the Wii (yet). I tried my hand at RE4 on the Wii which is also a lot of fun, and Umbrella Chronicles brings the same enjoyment of point-and-shoot that only the Wii can deliver. The storylines are cool, especially if you never played RE Zero or the first or third games. It's a nice introduction to a lot of characters plus a lot of interesting detail about Albert Wesker, mysterious Umbrella Corporation dude. If you're looking for a fun M-rated Wii game and have never played Umbrella Chronicles, check it out sometime for sure.
