Awww... Yahtzee... I have to disagree with you. I found this game to be quite fun actually. It wasn't too hard, but it wasn't too easy. I thought the difficulty was well balanced. Granted, like you said there are moments when something just randomly comes out and bites your ass before you can notice it, but that's the old arcade style. You said it did have that arcade charm though, so I guess you made your point that it wasn't an entirely bad game, it just wasn't spectacular. I believe this game is more of the appeal to those who miss playing the light gun games in the arcade. And with so many coming out for the Wii all the sudden, I have to caution other gamers that alot of them aren't worth the money. This one actually is worth it though, the game lasting much longer than any original rail gun shooter. But if shooting arcade style doesn't appeal to you, than I would say to not bother with this. But if the idea of turning off the lights, grabbing your gun to shoot hordes of undead through a FPS perspective and fighting cool bosses is what you've been longing for, than there is no better choice out there. Umbrella Chronicles is THE best rail gun shooter out for the Wii right now.
