![]() And the current graphics are pretty good, though that shouldn't be that big a surprise. However, those who always wanted to experience those classic games without dated graphics won't be lost as the plot moves forward. Also, many classic RE moments are incorporated in fresh ways – but only RE super-fans will notice that, and they're the ones who will easily get the most out of Darkside Chronicles. There are many quiet moments, not every level ends in a boss fight, and the ones that do are mostly fun. The overall pacing of the action is satisfactory too. And seeing as all the scenarios have two characters in them at all times, it's quite fun (as well as story-appropriate) to play two-player co-op. Nevertheless, other tried and true tricks of on-rails shooters past are put into practice here with less repetition and better results, such as the multi-layered boss fights and the occasional branching paths. Sure, there are at least a half-dozen times when the fixed camera slooowly pans across a group of corpses, then turns around suddenly to "shock" you with the sight of those “cadavers” lunging at you. Once the gunplay comes in between the many ably produced CG cutscenes, it's a pretty entertaining shooting gallery of zombies to blast your way through. Both games are recounted in compact form, but you experience most of the best moments, while the new South American scenario plays more like the filler story that it is. As Kennedy and his RE 4 nemesis, Krauser, enjoy happier times in South America hunting down zombies together, Leon decides to bring him up to date on what went down in RE 2 and RE: Code Veronica. Much like its predecessor, RE: Umbrella Chronicles, Darkside retells the plot of Evils past, though this time the adventures are framed by a new storyline that stars Leon Kennedy and takes place a couple years before Resident Evil 4. ![]()
