Resident Evil

Resident Evil

"Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles," developed by Capcom, sticks with the railed, arcade shooter style of the previous iteration, "Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles." There are, however, several new improvements that give it it’s own unique flavor. Players will recognize classic "Resident Evil" series characters, including Leon Kennedy, and levels famed in previous games, like Raccoon City, along with new characters and locales. There is now a separate screen for players to manage items as well as customizable weapons, a dynamic difficulty, and a new shaky camera style to add to the zombie-killing horror feel. Players looking for a good solo or co-op arcade shooter experience at home can look for the newest "Resident Evil" on Nov. 17 for the Wii.
