Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles is a light-gun shooter on the Wii that revisits classic Resident Evil storylines with a new perspective. Players take on the roles of iconic characters like Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield, blasting zombies and other monstrosities from a first-person viewpoint. While the core gameplay is fun and the nostalgia factor is high, the game suffers from some repetitive level design and an over-reliance on shaky-cam effects that can induce motion sickness. However, fans of the Resident Evil universe and those looking for a fun, arcade-style zombie shooter will find much to enjoy in Darkside Chronicles.
