Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield fight the undead in this thrilling co-op arcade shooter that relives classic moments from Resident Evil 2 and more, only for Wii.
Capcom brings the Resident Evil series back to Wii with the sequel to the highly successful, million-selling title, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles.

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. Two of the most popular characters in the series and heroes of the beloved Resident Evil 2, Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield, will be making 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…

6.0
Darkside Chronicles is a fine fit for those enamored with the fiction of the Resident Evil series. It's competent enough as a guided shooter, even if it doesn't do much to improve on the hoary old format.

6.0
Just like the old days, but without the change machines and skeevy dudes.

6.0
The only thing scary about this light-gun game is the dreadful shaky camera.

7.7
It's no substitute for the classic games it retells, but Darkside Chronicles is an enjoyable and pleasantly improved first-person ride.

8.1
The M-rated gore isn't the only thing that'll make you queasy...
