Witness the End of Umbrella…With a Friend
Posted by Craig on July 5th, 2007

One of the Games I’m most looking forward to for Wii is Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, The on-rails Shooter telling the story so far from the perspective of Umbrella.
Weekly Famitsu have just confirmed a two-player co-op mode in the game (yay). This is great news, but I’m still concerned about the accuracy of a wii-mote lightgun-esque control system. The idea is awesome, but in practice i find that i don’t “aim” with my wii-mote, just move it relative to the cursor on screen. I just guess we’ll have to see how this turns out.
If you haven’t already check out the trailer after the jump.

At least the trailer finally realizes one of my only stupidities about the series, I can’t get through a locked wooden door, even though i have a shotgun, grenade launcher and various other armaments. phew.

I cant wait for this either.
I wonder if I can get the missus to play co-op.
I’m looking forward to all shhot em ups, like Ghost Recon.
