    The Resident Evil: Chronicles HD Collection proves a faithful translations of one of the more interesting footnotes in the Resident Evil canon, and at least the Darkside Chronicles half of it remains a solidly-realized rail shooter-and one that's accessible even for people without the Move controller. I can't help but feel that it's a missed opportunity for developers to go back and fix problems in the original product, though.

    Keep in mind, though, that you'll be able to buy it separately for less within a few weeks, and for people who just want a decent lightgun game, that'll be a better deal in my opinion. That said, neither game is good enough to spend money on unless you're a diehard Resident Evil fan. Even then, there are better ways to blow $30 bucks in the name of fandom, like buying as many of the Resident Evil films on DVD as you can.

    Brilliant... Fun 2-player action with decent graphics, excellent cutscenes, and responsive controls. Don't need Move controllers, but hightly recommended. Never played the original games-- only had holes filled in by Operation Racoon City, RE4, and RE5-- so these are a neat way to experience the original storylines. Tons of collectibles to find and well as lots of weapons upgrades. Expand
  2. Very good remake of the titles. It seems like it always was meant to be on PS3 instead of wii. It looks GREAT and the graphics are some of the best video game graphics ive seen. Its clearly the best graphics resident evil has to offer as well. Cavia and Capcom did a good job. Now if only they would give us a Resident Evil Outbreak HD collection... Expand
  3. Excelente pacote de games , 2 ótimos jogos lançados originalmente para Wii , agora em HD e por um preço reduzido . Para fãs de RE ou para quem gosta de Shooters no estilo Time Crisis , Virtua Cop e House Of The Dead , é imperdível . Expand
