Abstract

Arm yourself against the horrors of the city in this sequel to the gun shooting game Umbrella Chronicles. Darkside Chronicles takes place in Resident Evil 2's Racoon City.

ESRB rating

Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Language 


Full description

This sequel to 2007's on-rails offshoot of the Resident Evil franchise stars characters Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield for more "survival shooting" action from a first-person perspective. Once again the gameplay involves pointing your Wii Remote at the screen to gun down zombies and other ghastly creatures created by the nefarious Umbrella Corporation. Scenes will automatically advance at key points, allowing you to simply focus on aiming and firing. A new twist to the action is an evade system that involves using the Wii Remote to minimize damage received from the horrors lurking within each setting. Solo players can team up with a computer-controlled partner or join forces with a friend for simultaneous shooting. Weapons can also be upgraded and customized before each scenario.

New Enemies and Familiar Faces
Unlike the evil enemies you fought against in the previous story, in Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, players will fight against the characters' own inner demons, adding a whole new level of terror. Balancing this out, two of the most popular characters of the overall series and heroes of the beloved Resident Evil 2, Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield, make their return. As unconventional heroes, the two start out the game as ordinary individuals who are thrown into terrorizing situations where their own fear is their biggest enemy. Featuring a brand new storyline that will fill in missing pieces of the "Chronicles" series, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles leads players into a horrific world where the lines between good and evil are blurred and the fight begins with your dark side.

Rail Shooter Action with New Features
The game's arcade, rail shooter gameplay, first featured in Resident Evil:The Umbrella Chronicles, in which players follow a set path through the game, has been radically upgraded in Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles. Along with this, the game contains a horde of new features, including the major additions of a sub-screen which allows for weapon configuration and use of recovery items regardless of time progression, and a new system that allows players to modify the difficulty level according to their playing skills that brings accessibility and fun to both the hardcore and casual gamer alike.

Coop Gameplay
Continuing in the survival horror tradition, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles increases the thrills and chills with an enhanced two-player co-op mode in which players will be able to follow their partners on the same screen. Their conversations and interactions have also been improved to create a more intense co-op experience.

More Frightening Than Ever
A more terrifying experience than ever before, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles combines a shaky and realistic handheld camera experience with an eerie soundtrack and creepy sound effects utilizing state-of-the-art technology.
