I didn't expect any of RE4 to be featured in this, but it is a shame that they didn't include a Code Veronica section.

Once the Resident Evil Zero scenarios are done with, the events of the 1996 classic Resident Evil unfold, this time with Rebecca Chambers side-quests available. But rather than simply work through the entire series, Resident Evil 2 is effectively sidelined into the bonus sections of the Resident Evil 3 chapter, rather than having the full focus it richly deserved. This, along with the complete absence of any of the scenarios of the excellent Resident Evil 4 (or Code Veronica) makes it feel like a needlessly curtailed offering (maybe to leave the door open for a sequel).
That's the killer right there. there's been more cuts to this, than the Order of the Phoenix movie. shame on you capcom. |

Lol, I'd like to see you play in two player mode without having to shell out on an expensive peripheral. As far as I remember the Wii is only supplied with one controller...
Hahaha "you have to buy a second controller to play two-player games" as a negative? Oh man, I literally laughed out loud, and I'm not just saying that to make a point. |

"As for the soundtrack, though - what were they thinking? It seems entirely at odds with the action for the most part, and does absolutely nothing to enhance the ambience." Just your opinion, I found it quite nice (scenario select screen tune is sweet, liked the Rebecca secret scenario tunes). What troubled me far more is the hall effect on the ambient sounds, as if every area is a gigantic church, even outdoors. And since when does Jill sound like a guy? I thought Claire was the tomboy :) Anyway, game is great, mindless fun with tons of unlockable stuff for the RE purists which will take quite a few playthroughs to get.

"Hahaha "you have to buy a second controller to play two-player games" as a negative?" Tbh I don't take it as a negative that to play a light gun game on the 360, I may have to purchase a light gun type peripheral (just like some people buy a GC controller or a Wii classic pad to play games that suit those mechanisms better on the Wii). A lot of people prefer the conventional joypad controls for certain games (especially VC titles for obvious reasons) so is it then not a negative that you have to buy "an expensive peripheral" (i.e. a normal joypad) to play (or enjoy to the fullest) certain Wii games? It works both ways I think you'll find. |

They forgot to mention you play through the "Fifth Survivor" Scenario as HUNK and you hear all his team mates dying over the radio as you blast through the undead! :P

"Er... as is/was just about every other console ever made. At least Nintendo are doing the decent thing by bundling a game with their controllers (Wii Play / Link's Crossbow Training). Yeah, okay, neither would be worth getting as a full price independent release, but it nevertheless is better than nothing. "
Shame they arent making enough of them, Wii Play seems to be selling out just as fast as Wii's at the moment and its next to impossible to get the remote on its own for a decent price :( |
