Wii #0358 - Resident Evil - The Umbrella Chronicles (USA)

[Zesto]

It's good, but I can't really play it without the Wii Zapper.

The only downside to this game is that it has black bars on the end of the screen. : (

Great game, the "Mansion" in the RE Zero looks like House of the Dead in some way.

Even I don't have a Zapper, I used the Zapper control mode because I like to balance out the controls. I just don't like the granade because I ALWAYS press Z and B together in dangerous situation.

IGN review for Heroes 2 says that Zapper is completely pointless so i doubt ill be getting one any time soon....

BTW offtopic but where is Heroes 2 and Prostreet releases

Game Trailers gave this a good score.
8.3
"Fans of the series will love it as its basicly a love letter from capcom to them"
May not have actors for the movie sequences, and uh, didnt wesker used to have a beard or something? Maybe Im missing something.

Still, I have to buy this. O-o
I hope Wii rail shooters become a continuing trend.

Heres hoping Battle Clash gets not only a VC port but a full out Wii remake.

I don't understand what the zapper is for. This plays fantastic just with the nunchuck and wiimote. The Zapper is a bullshit piece of plastic marketing crap!

 

[Redsquirrel]

had a go earlier. I am not sure if i like it or not - the controls are very unresponsive!!

 

[Luksy]

This game is decidedly average in my book. Admittedly I haven't played past the first chapter but it's just so anchingly slow compared to most other modern shooters, hell even shooters from 10-12 years ago, and using the wiimote pointer is just too laggy and imprecise compared to a normal lightgun. On the other hand the story element is of course excellent and there's loads of fan service so I'll be playing it to death anyway, but as a shooter it falls far short of the mark IMHO.

 

[ChrisRX]

I really like this game. Only played a few chapters but I am quite liking the tension.
I was kind of disappointed about all those long walking sequences with seemingly nothing to do, until I realised you're supposed to be inspecting your surroundings for secrets/ammo/health. So now those long walks are actually quite helpful.

Yea, I don't have a Zapper but use Zapper setup in the controler setup. It works just fine.

 

[BoneMonkey]

im not using the zapper but my arms get tired i WANT a zapper !

 

[berlinka]

In what way is the zapper setup different from the regular setup?

 

[kogepan]

Dang! i just burnt the game and i cant run it. It gave me a jap Message. I need some help here, I have a Jap Wii i ran regionfrii and brickblocker. Does this game need to run with 1.9g wiikey? Cause i havent updated my chip yet. Or did i do something wrong with that region patching? Do i set it to Jap? or Pal?

thanks!

 

[Disco]

Ghost squad has much more responsive controls than this, but I'm fan of RE so I MUST finish this game
@kogepan: If you have jap wii, then set region to jap!!

 

[kogepan]

Yes i did indeed set it to Jap. I guess i could retry the whole patching then burn it again?

 

[Biduleman]

Any tips on defeating the scorpion? It doesn't give you any hints on what to do about the tail stinger.


Save the herb at the side until you really need it. With the tail stinger I think you just keep shooting it. It took me a few goes but I beat it using the shot gun. Damn thing blocks most of the shots with its claws but you still do a little damage.

How do you save herbs?

 

[NiGHtS]

Great game, much better than I thought it would be and there's loads of suspense sometimes to lol, I've only played it a bit though. I'll be inviting one of my mate's around to play co-op, looks pretty awesome, since my sister's too scared to play it...XD

Anyway, off topic what happened to Medal of Honor H2? I'd expect that to be dumped early seeing as this was.

From the previous posts I believe this game detects what type of Wii system files you have and changes the text accordingly. So if you are playing on a NTSC-JAP machine you are going to get Japanese text and regionfrii and brickblocker won't have any effect on that. Am I understanding this correctly? Is this the first Wii game that does this or have there been others?

You should have region free turned on via the WiiKey setup disc. Try running a clean/unpatched iso and you shouldn't get an error message.

*Nevermind*, the JAP version is out now, so go grab it.

 

[sekhu]

Well I burnt this as a clean iso, no brickblocker needed since there's no update in the game, and it works fine on my pal wiikey 1.9b.

the game is fun if a little repetitive, good fun in two player mode. The reloading is very slow and doesn't register well, you have to wave your wiimote a good few times in wild moves to get the wiimote to register as a shake for reloading, the reticule is a tad big and clumsy looking, and they could have put in a sensitivity option to make the reticule move faster around the screen.

worth grabbing, I wouldn't pay full price for a game like this as the replay value is rather limited though. it would do well as a budget to mid-budget title.

 

[kogepan]

Alright ill try burning it directly. I should work then.

Thanks all

edit: AWesome it worked! man this game is sweet!
