Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles is a real treat, and I can’t recommend it more. Unless you have an aversion to rail shooters, you’d be silly not to at least give this game a rental. It also makes for a wonderful summary of the major points in the complex RE storyline, so players new to the franchise can warm up to the current situation.
Mostly, however, Umbrella Chronicles does a solid job. It takes repetitive rails-shooting gameplay and retreads a lot of arguably worn locations and Resident Evil territory, but it never feels stale. In fact, a degree of knowledge about the previous games not only helps the choppy storytelling to gel a little better, it also gives you a tactical advantage. You'll have a good idea of what key enemies you're going to encounter (and thus, when to save your grenades or heavy munitions), and secrets to keep an eye out for. In this way, Resident Evil fans are definitely encouraged to try their hand ...
If you're not a Resi fan it's worth a rent. If you are it's worth a purchase. Either way you'll have a thoroughly decent blast.
