The Umbrella Chronicles offers a slightly different take on the light gun zombie blaster than it's HoTD brethren.
As a fan of RE in general the trip down memory lane from a different perspective was always gonna have some interest for me(and a little more Ada always hits the spot).
Yes it's on rails, yes it's basically just a lightgun shooter but it creates the exct environments you know and love in great detail(which probably stopped it ever being likely to be a graphical beauty)and provides more RE info than you can shake a big sticky stick at. Once you're used to the controls(5 mins) and the small sweet spots on the zombies/infected it's fine and taken in chunks of half an hour I find it a blast in 2 player especially.
It's none too tasking, the sounds are bang on(music aside)and a pair of circular boss fights aside this is a light gun shooter with RE extras and memories galore that also needs you to stay true to the series dogma of watching your ammo closely(unlike HoTD where you can kill stuff regularly with one shot and not woprry).So it introduces a little more thought than most games of this kind.
You'll know and love the characters and bosses and played with a mate and , maybe the intoxicant of your choice, this can be brilliant good old zombie mashing fun with the survival horror vibe heightened by having to be sparing with your best guns. Any RE fan would get pleasure enough out of the extras alone to make this worth a punt now that it's so cheap(cost me £10).
