Unlike the evil enemies you fought against in the previous story, in Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, players will fight against the characters' own inner demons, adding a whole new level of terror. Balancing this out, two of the most popular characters of the overall series and heroes of the beloved Resident Evil 2, Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield, make their return. As unconventional heroes, the two start out the game as ordinary individuals who are thrown into terrorizing situations where their own fear is their biggest enemy. Featuring a brand new storyline that will fill in missing pieces of the "Chronicles" series, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles leads players into a horrific world where the lines between good and evil are blurred and the fight begins with your dark side.

Rail Shooter Action with New Features
The game's arcade, rail shooter gameplay, first featured in Resident Evil:The Umbrella Chronicles, in which players follow a set path through the game, has been radically upgraded in Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles. Along with this, the game contains a horde of new features, including the major additions of a sub-screen which allows for weapon configuration and use of recovery items regardless of time progression, and a new system that allows players to modify the difficulty level according to their playing skills that brings accessibility and fun to both the hardcore and casual gamer alike.

Coop Gameplay
Continuing in the survival horror tradition, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles increases the thrills and chills with an enhanced two-player co-op mode in which players will be able to follow their partners on the same screen. Their conversations and interactions have also been improved to create a more intense co-op experience.

More Frightening Than Ever
A more terrifying experience than ever before, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles combines a shaky and realistic handheld camera experience with an eerie soundtrack and creepy sound effects utilizing state-of-the-art technology.

Key Game Features

  • Two-Player Co-op Shooting - Invite friends and family to experience the horror alongside you in 2-player co-op mode.
  • Revisit Classic Resident Evil Levels - Experience environments and areas from classic Resident Evil titles such as Raccoon City from Resident Evil 2 and the hidden Umbrella laboratory from Resident Evil: Code Veronica, as well as scenarios that will be all new to Darkside Chronicles.
  • Fan Favorite Characters Return - Play as Leon S. Kennedy, protagonist of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4, his partner Claire Redfield, who appeared in Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil: Code Veronica, and others still to be announced.
  • Customizable Weapons - Players can upgrade and customize their weapons for each battle scenario. Each playable character can be specialized for a specific combat style.
  • Dynamic Difficulty - In addition to the initial settings of Easy, Normal and Hard, the game's difficulty level will adjust automatically based on the player's skill level so that both old and new fans can have a fun and challenging experience.

To really appreciate this game you have to go back and play "The Umbrella Chronicles". The one thing I hated about the original game was the difficulty in performing headshots. In "The Darkside Chronicles", the headshots are easier and look better than the original. I feel like I'm in the "Dawn Of The Dead" or "The Walking Dead". It's gooey, gory fun. There's also a new feature that targets the enemies at the touch of a button on the nunchuck just below the menu button. That's convenient for me since I got killed numerous times in the original, because of the hordes of monsters that would come at me and not being able to target them all fast enough. Being able to collect the green herbs and not have to use them right away is a plus. Why use the green herb if you don't have to right away? Yes, the camera is alittle jerky, but I think that adds to the excitement a la "Diary Of The Dead" directed by George A. Romero. Try running with the camera and see how steady the picture is when you play it back. The only time it is noticably jerky is when they run. The graphics are better and the montage of former games upgraded makes me nostalgic. The only thing is I want more. I hope they do a game based on "Resident Evils" 4 and 5! This is a really good game!

Here is the deal on this game...If you liked Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, it is the same style of game. It's a shoot the screen while having the character's point of view. I LOVED Umbrella Chronicles. This game has crisper graphics, and far better sound effects. If you get motion sickness easily, DO NOT get this game. In your character's POV, there IS running, so the screen bounces around. Head shots are fun with the pistol as your weapon, the top halves of the zombie heads come off making a gory mess. Scary sound effects and even your wii remote making "reloading" noises is neat. Some people don't like the fact that you can't "run around yourself", but I think if all you have to worry about is aiming and shooting, it's pretty fun, and you will never get lost during a level. Nothing will ever beat RE4 in my opinion, but this game has that feel as if you are the character him or herself.

I started out with RE 2 back in the 90's, enjoyed RE 3, never did completely cotton to the more 3-D RE4 & RE5, perhaps the games were also getting complex. I did like REU (Umbrella) though, it was simpler, and intuitive--point at the zombie and pull the trigger! Umbrella took RE to a new genre, a Time-Crisis type arcade shooter. Darkside extends the Umbrella game, and what's a real treat is that you revisit all your old stomping grounds from the earlier RE games. Some reviews didn't like the "shaky" POV, but it works well for me, giving the scenes a sense of freneticism. We always play REDC 2-player and the sense of teamwork and covering one another really makes this game especially fun. We use the Nyko Perfect Shot for the Wii--for REDC and REU, it's a huge improvement over the zapper.

I have this game and it is much better than the umbrella chronicles. Everything has been improved. Graphics, cutscenes, gameplay, and awesome bonus features. People have been saying that the camera angle distracts from the game. IT DOES NOT. It even makes it more fun by adding suspense. Kind of like a thriller. Overall, this game is VERY fun. I have been a diehard Resident Evil fan since I was first introduced to the playstation Resident Evil Director's Cut way back when. I even own all the Resident Evil titles for the Nintendo Gamecube. So you are speaking to someone who knows something about Resident Evil. And I can say this is one of the best Resident Evil games I've ever played. It's true to the material and worth it.

This game was great! Shipping from Amazon was awesome and came within the day. Fantastic!
Don't make the same mistake I did when I ordered. I ordered UC (Umbrella Chronicles hereafter) first, but this game is heads and shoulders better than UC! The storyline, and gameplay overall. At the end of each chapter I pulled off an S for headshots nearly everytime, and had an S-A rating at the end of each chapter, whereas in UC I was lucky to get a C and even a couple of headshots. Visually, the game is very nice looking, I do think in certain aspects UC is better visually, but that's me personally. Overall, great looking for a Wii game! Tons of fun on multiplayer!

I would highly recommend this title!

The first RE shooter game on Wii was pretty decent, if not just a typical on-rails shooter. The sequel, however, ups the ante with better graphics, a more cohesive flow to the narrative, and an overall more enjoyable experience than the first. The "shaky-cam" that has been the subject of many reviews and previews can be good or bad depending on how you look at it. Yes, it can be irritating when you can't line up shots properly because the camera starts acing up, but on the other hand it adds a sense of panic and realism to the experience and makes you feel like you're right in on the action. If you stick with it, you'll get used to it and appreciate the package more. Another great Wii game and highly recommended!

I ordered two, and just received these in the mail today; and am enjoying them? I also ordered the resident evil game for the traditional Wii, and find that the guns truly enhance the experience. The guns make playing fun. You will need a joy stick and remote that fit into the guns. The blaster is only the empty shell that the Wii remote and joystick will need to be fitted in to it. Very nice! IF you are looking for a more adult game to play on the Wii, you've found it! The blasters are icing on the cake! Be prepared to feel the need to give your hands a break, because you'll want to keep playing.

When I saw the preview for Darkside Chronicles, I wanted to get it before I finished Umbrella Chronicles. The graphics and the dialogue were definitely better in my opinion. The "shaky cam" made it suspenseful and tough to shoot at times but didn't ruin it for me. The story was really, really nicely done. I liked the darkness, counter attacks, shooting, and boss fights better in Umbrella Chronicles. I just knew I was going to like this game better. But, when I finished playing, I had to give UC a slight edge. It all depends on your taste. I would get both games again.

I played Resident Evil 4 all the way up to chapter 4-1 and I have not finished it yet. RE4 is a fantastic game and really well made but quite long to finish and harder than Darkside Chronicles. I find the chapters in DC are not too long so you don't have to stay glued to your Wii for hours and you can save your progress in between the chapters. The graphics are gorgeous but better in some sections than others. The sound department is very good too. The shaky camera doesn't bother me at all but it's true that it makes some sections a little harder than they could have been without it, but nothing that makes the game unplayable. I am far from being a pro gamer but I was able to finish the game in a couple of weeks and I had very much fun doing so. However i'm not sure if I will feel like replaying it all over again a lot more times. I haven't tried the game with a partner but I think it should be fun with two players.

I also have Resident Evil The Umbrella Chronicles but I haven't played it much yet so I can't compare it to DC, but I can say that UC seems harder than DC.

If you like on-rails games I recommend Darkside Chronicles to you.
