As the title describes, this is what you get in Resident Evil TDC. This game is first and foremost tailored two types of gamers: Rail shooter and Resident Evil fans.
In the game you will find yourself traveling on paths through the eyes of Leon and Claire in RE2, and Chris and Claire in RE:CV. Also a new side story with Leon and Krauser is revolved around the other title's stories.
This game gives a strickly a shoot-and-kill feel to it. While at the same you get to experience various storylines of old, and some new.
As for stories, expect plenty of new surprises, along with a couple new twists. As with the previous chronicle game, expect a more abridged version of the older titles. In my opinion, the strongest thing Resident Evil fans will enjoy most out of this game, is the boss battles. (Which are plentiful!) Outside of that, and several new tweeks in the environent don't expect a total remake.
Gameplay wise, it feels much like it's predecessor, for the exception of the new realism aiming. What that means, is that the player will now miss shots a heck of a lot more! (Although frustrating, most players adapt and move on.)
Even though many well thought out rehashes are made, and the presentation is pretty good. The Darkside Chronicles is another way for Capcom to cash on one of it's kids. Resident Evil fans will be left after finishing this, praying that Capcom will remake the titles showcased in this game. But sadly this is as close to a remake the RE fans will get.

This game is ok, has some action. Did not care for the minimal chapters,only 3 to be exact. Finished whole game in 3 days, best so far has been RE4.

Come on! Resident Evil should get it together another game on rails! If I wanted another Umbrella Chronicles I would have just played that game. I expected more but…. You can please everyone.
