Resident Evil: (Biohazard) The Umbrella Chronicles was the first game to be specifically designed for the Nintendo Wii. Umbrella Chronicles departs from previous Gun Survivor games by being an on-the-rails shooter, much akin to the House of the Dead series. The game rehashes many locations from previous games, using characters and locations from the series's main games (excluding Resident Evil 2 and Code: Veronica) New story elements are added as well as new scenario's detailing the end of Umbrella.
Plot Synopsis
The plot of the main levels contained in Umbrella Chronicles is roughly the same to that of the game it represents. For the events of Resident Evil Zero, Resident Evil, and Resident Evil 3, they are shortened and in 3's case completely altered to suit an on-the-rails game. Files from the games are placed in the levels so that new players are up to speed on the general plot from each of those games. The new storylines emerge from the entirely new Russian scenario entitled, Umbrella's End which see's the final demise of Umbrella previously mentioned in the opening sequence of Resident Evil 4. Set in February 2003, Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine have joined a regional biohazard containment unit to destroy a new, rumoured B.O.W created by Umbrella as a last stand. With a division of the organization, the pair lead a full scale assault on the remaining Umbrella stronghold in Russia.
Development History
Umbrella Chronicles is made up of four levels spanning four different locations. Each level is divided into three chapters, with many bonus chapters as well.
