Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles gives you the ability to play through Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil: Code Veronica + a whole slew of new things.

The game is a multiplayer rail shooter game (ex: like Time Crisis if anyone ever played it before).

This means you’re in first person view while the characters move by themselves and you get to shoot the zombies!  In this game you’ll literally shake around like the characters as then run with their lives.

While the stages are disturbing the game itself isn’t really scary.  You might get surprised, rushed, but you’re not going to wet your pants, but grab your brother and try playing the game at night with lights off anyways!

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles Gameplay

Gameplay

Like mentioned this is a rail shooter game, so you can’t control movement.  The only movement you can do is shooting at the zombies!

As you wander through the game you’ll find weapons, ammos, weapons, people, weapons, zombies, weapons, and guess what else?  Weapons!

The ammo you find are shared with your teammate so despite your needs of being a weapon hog, it’s not going to happen.

You’ll hear characters scream as you battle through the undead, you’ll see corpse that’ll unsurprisingly stand up and attack you, and you’ll get into situation where you can watch your friend’s character get mauled to death (purposely don’t save them).

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles Multiplayer

This multiplayer Wii game does come with Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, but it isn’t the type we’re trying to get.  It’s an online ranking system.  Submit your scores online and hope you make it to the top of the list.

Multiplayer

The only multiplayer in this game is…the whole entire game!  Play through the whole entire game with a friend.

Make sure they get into the game before you start the stage, because the game won’t let them join once you started the stage.

Don’t shoot crazily when you’re playing.  You’re sharing everything with your friend, so be conservative, or else you’ll both be stuck with the infinite bullet handgun.

Conclusion

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles adds a new chapter to the Resident Evil series (you just have to get far enough in the game).

You might not get the scare you’re hoping for, but regardless you don’t see much good graphic rail shooter games with the wrath of the undead after you.  Kill one and before you know it 2 more come and take its place.

Blaze through the game with different difficulties, upgraded weapons, and even take different routes in the replays, this game has replay values, co-op, and upgradeable weapons, what more do you want?
