RE: Umbrella Chronicles Hands-on

[shams]

Here is another preview/hands-on for Chronicles I came across. They seem to like it a lot..

"As we've touched on already, the game looks absolutely stunning, and easily the best-looking game we've seen so far on the Wii. If you're familiar with the old static rendered backdrops of old, then breezing through fully destructible 3D versions of these ornate locations is a curious thrill. It's the best form of retro tourism, hitching a ride through a forgotten part of your gaming brain, and discovering that it looks even better than your remember it. Normally, delving into such wanton nostalgia only leads to dumbstruck disappointment, but you'll only feel admiration for the way Capcom has reinvigorated some of its finest work."

BTW, I got the bit about "being able to look around" slightly wrong (you can, but not anywhere - it limits you)

"Having said that, the game does grant you the ability to shift your viewpoint within a few degrees with the Nunchuk, and often doing so gives you a chance to snag otherwise hidden ammo and health, not to mention the chance to shoot approaching zombies earlier than if you'd kept the viewpoint centred. On the other hand, there's a risk-reward element to shifting the viewpoint, and while you're busy looking the other way, you can just as easily find yourself blind-sided by your own greed. Take note, greedy ammo man. "
