I eventually probably will get both. It was surprising to me that the media was scoring DSE consistently higher considering that RE:UC is the best rail shooter that I've played on the Wii and figured that RE:DC would also be really good. It looks like I was right. It's good to hear that neither game is a stinker though.

The surprise to me was that the scores for UC seem to be higher than DSC. From the people I've talked to most (not all) seem to prefer DSC. I think to some extent DSC got hit by a backlash for being another railshooter in a crowded year. Which is a pretty unfair thing to downscore a game for. At the same time I think UC benefited more than it should have because it was an early somewhat competent attempt in an open field.

UC is a good long game though, which sadly neither of these 2 are

UC isn't a long game. It has 22 levels that average between 10-15 minutes of playtime, so it's about six hours long. In other words it's just as long as DC.

Now if you are talking about completing the game on all difficulty settings, getting all S rankings and unlock everything else, then UC clocks in at something like 30 hours. DC easily beats that with around 40 hours and if you add in that scores for the two player mode are saved seperately, you are looking at at least another 20 hours to get those S rankings too.

Thanks for the referesher. I remembered it being longer but I haven't played it through in awhile. I just might pop it in tonight.
