Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles is a video game that consists of 5 releasesResident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles is a light-gun shooter from Capcom. The game takes place over the events of Resident Evil 0, 1 & 3, with some original elements as well.
Overview
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles is an on-rails shooter based in the Resident Evil universe, exclusively for the Wii. The game contains a number of scenarios from past games, ranging from Resident Evil Zero, the original game, and the third title. A number of previously unseen sequences assist in exploring and filling out numerous areas in the plot to make them more compatible with later installments. It is worth noting that not everything presented in the game is compatible with the original game's plot, as much of the game has been retrofitted to allow the two main characters in each of the three main scenarios to accompany one another throughout.Plot
The game opens with the beginning of Resident Evil 0, and places players in the shoes of S.T.A.R.S. rookie Rebecca Chambers or exiled marine Billy Coen. The story follows these characters through the training facility, and then proceeds to the events in the original title. Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine are the primary players here, and it deviates from the original game in a major way in the fact that they are not split up as they originally were. Given, it can be attributed to the two-player gameplay, but it's sure to knack die-hard fans. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is taken to next, following Jill once more as she teams up with Umbrella contractor Carlos Olivera as they attempt to flee the city as it's ravaged by the T-Virus. The titular boss, Nemesis, is back and in full force.In addition to a number of supplemental chapters interspersed throughout the game, another is introduced in an attempt to assist in bridging the plot between the original installments with that of Resident Evil 4. This primary scenario has Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine from the original teaming up once more to infiltrate an Umbrella research stronghold in the heart of Russia.
Other playable characters in the game include Albert Wesker, Ada Wong, HUNK, and Richard Aiken.
Gameplay
The game follows the usual model utilized in other on-rails shooters, as well as allowing for two-player co-op play on all of the primary scenarios. The bonus scenarios are single-player only until co-op play is unlocked for them (upon completion of Hunk's final mission). Grenades and weapon changing are commonplace in the game, allowing players to fight through the zombine hordes in a number of different ways. Counter-attacks are available to each character upon specific conditions, and allow for quick disposals of enemies.Enemies require quite a few bullets to down, and headshots are occasionally generated from your efforts, which usually results in said zombies head exploding in glorifying fashion. This also gives you a "critical hit" which is tallied into your point total at the end of each scenario. The boss battles in the game are, more or less, taken completely from the sections they are based upon. Some notable battles include those against the Tyrant which takes place in the same spot as it did in the original on top of the roof, after lowering his health enough a rocket launcher is also dropped for you to use in order to finish him off just as in the original as well. One of the more difficult boss' would have to be plant 42 in the mansion incident. It is explained early on in the game that all enemies have their weak spot (which is indicated by the white square like crosshairs appearing in the middle of the usual/actual crosshairs), but there are few times in the battle with plant 42 that its weak spot is actually shootable, and many rounds of counter attacking and dodging are involved in order to beat it. Just like in Resident Evil 4 there are many times in which the player is lead to believe they are in a cut scene but in fact must have the controller at the ready in order to push any number of button combinations in order to avoid certain death.

Settings
The environments are numerous and fully explore the areas they are based upon. The primary scenarios, "Train Derailment" (from Resident Evil 0), "The Mansion Incident" (from the original), and "Raccoon's Destruction" (from Resident Evil 3: Nemesis) each feature faces quite notable to those familiar with the series' lore.The other scenarios are set in various locations throughout the game, showcasing areas that were only theorized of in the past. Many of these focus on Albert Wesker and his activities following the events of the original Resident Evil, and how it was that he survived to reappear in resident evil 4.
