Other more minor gameplay elements include quick-time events (which will often involve shaking the Wiimote, for example), knife attacks (particularly useful for the annoying little insects that will quickly engulf your screen if given the time), and grenades. Variety is introduced to this basic gameplay mechanic through the use of enemy weak points, which if hit result in a one-hit kill. Umbrella Chronicles is essentially a light gun game made for the Wii, so players simply point the Wiimote at the enemies on the screen and then shoot. Due to the nature of the way these different events are detailed, newcomers to the series may feel a little lost, but the game really delivers a great fan service by recreating these events and updating them (although the relative absence of Resident Evil 2 and Code Veronica may come as a slight disappoint to fans). However, they all handle identically, so the main impact of having eight different characters is only really felt in the cut-scenes. Umbrella’s downfall is broken up into four separate case files, featuring eight playable characters from the series. It’s basically a recap of some of the key events in Resident Evil, Resident Evil 0 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, and briefly mentions Resident Evil 2. Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles follows the events that led to the downfall of the Umbrella Corporation, as detailed in the Resident Evil games up until Resident Evil 4 (and yes, unfortunately that does mean there are no levels based on Resident Evil 4 here).
