I'm a huge fan of Resident Evil but there have been a lot of reports and previews all around that UC isn't all that great. I just watched the latest trailer from Leipzig, showcasing all the dodging and counter attacks but I don't know if this is enough to make me get it. It seems like it could get stale quickly but I'm itching for more RE goodness on the Wii...

What do you guys think? Are you going to pick it up?

graphically, it looks decent - sorta like re4, mayb a bit more variety to the environments.

it supports 2 -player co-op - which my brother and myself will enjoy until we beat it. who knows, we'll try to better our scores and time in the 2nd run.

it explains what happened to umbrella, what wesker is up to, and a bunch of othe runexplained things/events in the re series.

it's a on-rails shooter - unique - and allows to to point and shoot with precision plus features action moves (kick,knife, etc). the only competition it has is ghost squad, but judging by the graphics and pretty dumb ai, i prefer numerous zombies attacking me at a time - requires more skillful aiming and ammo conservation. plus re:uc takes place in dark environments - so ennemies may sup[rise me.

and capcom usually makes quality games, so re;uc prolly won't dissappoint.

just curious btw, how many of u actually play games urselves either rent or buy or borrow and then judge them vs reading reviews/previews and basing ur opinions on whether to play the game or not based on what someone else thinks about it? cuz it sound sto me like, if reviewers say its bad - u guys automatically take thier word and cross this game off ur list.

Well, people fear change.

Like with RE4, alot of people thought it would suck because it was not like the game's in the series that came before it. But it fared very well, infact it's reguarded by all but the most Hardcore of Purist's as the Best RE game ever.

Im going to Buy it, but not because of it's RE, Becasue im a Fan of Arcade Rail shooters.

I am buying this because I love the RE series. I am also hoping it has some explanation as to why Chris is in Africa for 5. I like light guns, and i prefer the style of 4 and 5, but this is a side note and as long as the storyline explains somethings, I will enjoy it.

Now that, is the question. I'll see the reviews first, if it gets above an 8.5, I'll get it.
