The camera movements and angles tend to distract you as you continue on with the gameplay. Although Darkside looks somewhat nicer and appears to be more realistic with shadows and contour, both games have the same art style and are relatable to the rest of the series. The cutscenes were like normal gaming sequences and they didn’t tear you away from the intended gameplay. The Umbrella Chronicles retained the original Resident Evil-esque atmosphere where the lighting is allowed you to see what the developers want and keep you guessing as to what else is next.
RESIDENT EVIL UMBRELLA CHRONICLES TV
I was angry and only felt compelled to scream obscenities at my TV and throw my controller. I mention heartache because I was trying extremely hard to kill a huge enemy and would die when its health was at 10 percent or less. The shotgun was great as a temporary weapon as I soon learned that picking it for an entire scenario would cost me a lot of patience, heartache and frustration. I was frustrated that the bosses had a small weak spot that I had to shoot since my accuracy was pathetic and I was guided around a warehouse or lower level furnace room. The gameplay grew repetitive when escaping certain enemies and areas. The AI did what they were going to do as per the story you were being guided through. I usually love being surprised with zombie faces. Personally, I felt that the attacks were too orchestrated. The bodies that littered the areas you walked through seemed out of place at times and gave you the clue that they were about to be reanimated once you walked past. They crept slowly and lunged unexpectedly quickly at times, however, many of the movements were a bit predictable.
The zombies took on more of a darker approach as to how they attacked and how much damage they inflicted. It does have auto save and once you die, you go back to the last checkpoint. I’d scan the room as soon as I’d walk in, just in case of a cutscene, for any items that caught my eyes.
I died a lot until I figured out an easier way of picking items up, since the items would glow. Herbs, intel and extra ammo were hard to pick up at times just because I wasn’t quick enough to move my reticule over and press X. I could never aim directly at the enemies if I was running through an alleyway. Its attempt at making your character’s experience realistic only made the movements harder to control, especially when aiming.
The controls were fairly easy to learn after a while, but the camera work in The Darkside Chronicles made me a bit sick. They have a health bar and engage in normal combat with you. You can see your companion in Darkside as they walk with you and shoot enemies. It felt pretty lonely until the cutscenes. In Umbrella Chronicles, your partner doesn’t help you out unless you physically have a player two to assist. However, I felt more comfortable with the on-rails style exhibited in both games, since it makes the decisive movements for me. My aiming sucks and my only tactic is to rush and die. I’ve finally accepted that I generally suck at shooters. Each of these scenarios coincide with the rest of the RE series. You go onto to play as Claire Redfield as she first arrives in Raccoon City or Leon Kennedy on his first day as a police officer. Leon Kennedy and Jack Krauser are the first characters you encounter in the Darkside Chronicles where they battle against dead villagers and a particular former drug lord named Javier Hidalgo. The story continues on with Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine as they attempt to uncover the truth of what has occurred in the Mansion Incident.

With the Umbrella Chronicles, you begin with Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen attempting to escape from a trainload full of leeches and leech-powered zombies. I figured I’ll just blame it for not being a PS Move. They are both PS Move enabled, unfortunately, I don’t have one so I wasn’t able to check out that type of gameplay, but I do have a Kinect that I really, really hate. Both titles were originally released for Wii and the recent HD collection was released on June 2012 for PS3. The HD collection consists of both The Umbrella Chronicles and The Darkside Chronicles. The Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles HD collection gives us two more arcade-like, on-rails shooters to experience what our favorite characters are dealing with first hand as they traverse through the world practically owned by the Umbrella Corporation. I love the Resident Evil series, my absolute favorite being Outbreak on PS2. With any talk of zombie killing, Resident Evil is always at the top of my list.
