Amazing addition to the RE franchise

I've been a fan of Resident Evil for years and although rail shooters really aren't my thing, I gotta give it to the "chronicles" series here. I have played the previous chronicles and loved it but as a fan of Resident Evil I thought to myself "What about Leon and Claire?" This addition answered that question with fantastic surprises. Yeah, it's a Wii game, it's not going to be a SMASHING HIT GAME OF THE YEAR-OMGZ kind of thing, alright?
HOWEVER, it still is a fantastic game and should be overlooked. My favorite protganists in the RE series is Leon and Claire, and my favorite game in the RE series is Code Veronica and the classic Resident Evil 2 so it's no wonder this was a trip down memory lane full of entertaining new excites and frights. Well maybe not frights since the RE series kind of turned it's head away from that kind of thing but don't get me wrong this is still amazing.
I was impressed with the voice acting, this time around even though it's full of those corny phrases, it just wouldn't be Resident Evil without those face palmingly awful remarks but even so it was more believable than the previous games.
As far as story it reflects RE 2, and Code Veronica very well done for the rail shooter gameplay and a new story that tells the rapport between Leon and Krauser which was interesting and finally answered that question as to how Leon knew Krauser in RE4.
Gameplay: Flawless. Couldn't say a bad thing about it, I very much enjoyed it! This really should be played with a friend or family member who is also knowledgable or likes the RE series to make it REALLY fun. If not, that's cool! Pick up the remote and learn and enjoy 2 great classics (RE2/Code veronica) re modeled =)
10/10 definitely which is rather impressive especially since this is a Wii game and not often am I impressed by Wii games!
