Because the people at Target's are asses, they didn't have Godfather: Backhand Edition. So I settled with this prime example of a FPS for the Wii.
My opinion, eh whatever your name is? I like it. Not the best, but it could've been... Blame Capcom for ruining it's potential.
Gameplay: 8/10 The game is on the rails shooter. Meaning, you have very little control over your character. This is very frustrating when you see, say, an herb (which heals you), but before you can pick it up, your character moves away from it and runs down the hall, then dies. Very frustrating. BUT... When in boss fights, you never have to worry about where to go, because your character will be able to shoot the boss at all times when you can. It's up to you to hit him though. The game often goes into action sequences, which are slightly frustrating when you think about it, but at least they are a basic part of the game and not totally random Also includes a two player mode, making it feel much like an arcade game, except when you die, you don't spend a dollar each to play again.
Controls: 10/10 Very good controls for this FPS, up there with Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Medal of Honor Heroes 2. You have two options to play, and three control schemes. 1 option is the the basic Wiimote and Nuncuck control, which works very well for the action sequences since you can reach all buttons. This has two control schemes. The second is the Wii Zapper, which makes the game feel like an arcade FPS, which I like, but the action sequences are but rough, since shaking the nunchuck is hard, and is adds bit of unneeded weight, but all in all the game's controls are top notch.
Graphics: 10/10 Oh my God, why can't we have more games like this? This game is beautiful, the textures are brilliant, the scenery is realistic, the hair is great (It matters). And they don't over do it to cause long loading times. The cut scenes are a good length and with graphics like these, you long for them. They are at times, a downgrade from RE: 4, but I don't care.
Story **SPOILERS!** 7/10 A bit of a WTF factor here. I'll give you the plot from Wikipedia, don't look if you want to spoil it for yourself. If you plan to skip this area over, it lost points for confusion and being a bit long.
The Umbrella Chronicles' first scenario, based on the events of Resident Evil Zero, follows S.T.A.R.S operative Rebecca Chambers, and former-marine Billy Coen as they venture through a train that eventually takes them to a derelict training facility.[14] Once within the facility, they discover they are being stalked by James Marcus, one of the Umbrella Corporation's co-founders and former scientists, who has managed to resurrect himself with the aid of leech test-subjects.[15] After a confrontation, Marcus mutates into a monstrosity, but is subdued by the duo. Chambers and Coen escape as the facility self-destructs.[15] Another sub-chapter within the scenario traces Albert Wesker's actions, now posing as the leader of S.T.A.R.S' Alpha team, as he attempts to escape the training facility.[16][17]
The game then proceeds to retell the events of the first Resident Evil. The scenario follows both Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, as opposed to the actual Resident Evilgame, which feature the two splitting up. Redfield and Valentine are forced to battle their way through a mansion full of un-dead residents, before stumbling upon a secret Umbrella Corporation research facility in the mansion's basement.[18] The two then discover the facility's most powerful creation, a Tyrant, and destroy it.[19] The scenario features two different sub-chapters, which reveal Chambers' action between Resident Evil Zero and Resident Evil,[20] as well as a Wesker's reanimation and escape after his apparent death.[21]
The Umbrella Chronicles next scenario visits Raccoon City during the events of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. Valentine returns to the game, and is paired with mercenaryCarlos Oliveira, as they attempt to survive an outbreak of the T-Virus.[22] After defeating several un-dead citizens, Valentine and Oliveira encounter Nemesis, an upgraded Tyrant, sent to kill Valentine.[22] They defeat Nemesis and escape Raccoon City before it is destroyed by the United States government in desperate contingency effort.[23][24] The scenario also features two sub-chapters, detailing Ada Wong and HUNK's background roles during the main scenario's events.[25][26]
The game's final scenario is entirely composed of new material, which trails Redfield and Valentine as they attempt to infiltrate the Umbrella Corporation's final stronghold inRussia.[27] Now leading a group of armed activist, the duo storms the stronghold by force, encountering waves of un-dead soldiers and mutations.[27] Despite sustaining heavy causalities, the Redfield and Valentine enter the facility's inner-sanctum, only to encounter and destroy the Umbrella Corporation's latest creation, the T-A.L.O.S. Project.[28] The game's final sub-chapter features Wesker infiltrating the facility by himself in an attempt to recover the Umbrella Corporation's most important files.[29][30] He is confronted by his long-time nemesis, Sergei Vladimir, whom he defeats.[31] The game's credits reveal that the Umbrella Corporation's secrets have finally been exposed. As a result, the government dissolves the company and begins to take legal actions against its top officials.[32]
Characters: 10/10 They keep cool for the most part, freak out when necessary and make this game a blast.
So...
Gameplay: 8/10
Controls: 10/10
Graphics: 10/10
Story: 7/10
Characters: 10/10
Story and Gameplay lost it a perfect, so I settled with A-. Bit high, but I like it. Recommended for Resident Evil fans...
