Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield fight the undead in this thrilling
co-op arcade shooter that relives classic moments from Resident Evil 2
and more, only for Wii.
Capcom brings the Resident Evil series
back to Wii with the sequel to the highly successful, million-selling
title, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, Resident Evil: The
Darkside Chronicles.

Unlike the evil enemies you fought against in the previous story, in
Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, players will fight against the
characters’ own inner demons. Two of the most popular characters in the
series and heroes of the beloved Resident Evil 2, Leon Kennedy and
Claire Redfield, will be making their return. As unconventional heroes,
the two start out the game as ordinary individuals who are thrown into
terrorizing situations where their own fear is their biggest enemy.
Featuring a brand new storyline that will fill in missing pieces of the
“Chronicles” series, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles leads
players into a horrific world where the lines between good and evil are
blurred and the fight begins with your dark side…

The game’s on-rail, arcade shooter gameplay first featured in Resident
Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles has been radically upgraded in Resident
Evil: The Darkside Chronicles. One of the major additions is a
sub-screen which will allow for weapon configuration and use of recovery
items regardless of time progression. A horde of new features including
a new system that allows players to modify the difficulty level
according to their playing skills will bring accessibility and fun to
both the hardcore and casual gamer.

Continuing in the survival horror tradition, Resident Evil: The Darkside
Chronicles will increase the thrills and chills with an enhanced
two-player co-op mode where players will be able to follow their
partners on the same screen. Their conversations and interactions have
also been improved to create a more intense co-op experience.

A more terrifying experience than ever before, Resident Evil: The
Darkside Chronicles combines a shaky and realistic handheld camera
experience with an eerie soundtrack and creepy sound effects utilizing
state-of-the-art technology.
