GAMEPLAY
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles
UC is good, no-brainer fun. It won't blow you away, nor will it disappoint you. It's best played in short, casual bursts (it's hard work on the wrist) because it can get repetitive after extended play, but don't let that put you off. The big problem however is with targeting accurately - the Wii Remote, the Wii Zapper (the game plays better with the Wii Remote) and indeed the Wii itself aren't built for precision targeting, so don't expect GunCon-style shooting. It can be a bit frustrating at times because of this. Still though, if you don't expect a revolution, when it doesn't come you won't be disappointed.
Link's Crossbow Training
As a pure target shooter Link's Crossbow Training actually works OK, even if it's not as fun as a real light-gun game. Problems arise when you're asked to move the camera as well as aim - something that makes for extreme annoyance. It's a more extreme level of control than what's found in Umbrella Chronicles' slight camera control and doesn't work nearly as well. Gameplay is far more basic than what's seen in Umbrella Chronicles, with the game featuring none of the alternative attacks such as grenades and knife slashes.
Verdict:
Umbrella Chronicles releases a pin, chucks a grenade and smiles as Link's body parts fly through the air.
