Capcom tried to mix things up by including dogs, crows, crimson heads, hunters, spiders, and the like, but in the end the majority of the time is still centered around firing at slow-moving lumps of meat. For starters, the game's core zombie-blasting mechanic can get extremely tiresome after a while, as the main gameplay is centered around slow moving, multi-hit enemies.
Speaking more specifically on the gameplay though, Umbrella Chronicles leaves a bit to be desired. Oh, and for the record, RE3 is hands-down the best portion of this game, with zombie police, lickers, an absolutely evil Nemesis fight, and the flashlight-only portions found in part two and three of the scenario, which are easily the scariest and most moody sections of all of Umbrella Chronicles. With that being said, fans will still get a chance to experience the police station and licker-killing goodness of Resident Evil, as the area is revisited in the closing chapter of Resident Evil 3. Why they were left out is anyone's guess (we're hoping that this is an early hint that Capcom is working on a new RE2 to team with the re-release of RE4 on Wii), but they're definitely missed, as those two games include a ton of great Resident Evil moments. You'll play through parts of Zero, the original RE, and RE3, but the game lacks any RE2 or RE4 goodness. For starters, the experience feels incomplete without the inclusion of RE2 and RE4. After going the distance with Umbrella Chronicles there are certainly a few gripes to be had though.
RESIDENT EVIL UMBRELLA SERIES
In that sense, Umbrella Chronicles is a huge success, as it'll bring fans of the series down memory lane for 20+ hours.
You're getting the characters, locales, weapons, and enemies you remember. You'll have a chance to relive the train incident, explore the mansion, hit the streets of Raccoon, and eventually march right up to Umbrella's doorstep. The thought of experiencing all the key RE moments over again is enough to peak the interest of a longtime fan of the series (us included, of course), as there's something amazingly cool about the entire design of Umbrella Chronicles. The franchise has done well for itself over the last five years, and as a result this light gun tour of the series has a ton to work off of. Right off the bat RE:UC has a lot going for it.
