Resident Evil Chronicles HD is easily one of the best choices among the Move-enabled games available today.

Between the updated visuals and improved gameplay, this is definitive way to experience the Resident Evil: Umbrella and Darkside Chronicles.

Another time, same old story. Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles gets an hi-def-lifting and go straight to PlayStation Network. Not bad at all.

If you enjoyed them then, you'll enjoy them now, but there's nothing to entice you to purchase them again beyond Trophy support or slightly smoother graphics if you already had the originals.

Resident Evil Chronicles HD Collection has a full summary of all the older Resident Evil titles with on-rails shooter gameplay, but you need a PS Move to get the most out of it.

Resident Evil Chronicles HD Collection offers two solid rail shooters packed to the rafters with challenging gameplay, ample fan service, and yet another reason to dust off those PS Move controllers.

Resident Evil: Chronicles HD Collection offers a fun, exciting way to relieve some of the most important events from Resident Evil saga.

If you're a fan of Resident Evil or rail-shooters and you own a Move controller then Resident Evil Chronicles HD Collection is a no brainer.

If you are an RE fan and haven't played the Wii version of the games before, I suggest you buy it now.

RE Chronicles HD Collection is an interesting DLC for PS3 users, offering two classic Wii shooters on rails in HD fashion.

Although it is a port and doesn't shine visually, it is still Resident Evil and offer great horror gameplay. The game achieves to feel dangerous, and if you have PlayStation Move, this is a great chance to enjoy two Wii classics.

Nevertheless, both games are very solid and fun. You can get quite a lot of play out of them, and with many collectables to find in both, trying to get 100% completion will give you many hours of enjoyment. For me, playing these games has been so delightful, and they have made me want to try some of the other titles in the series.

Chronicles HD Collection is a product for the fans because it´s a wonderful summary of the major points in the complex Resident Evil storyline. The cooperative mode is the most interesting and a great experience in rail shooting.

Despite Capcom's bandaging these games do show their age. Luckily the gameplay is truly timeless. These rail shooters are inspired by The House of the Dead, an arcade classic which was also remade recently for the PlayStation Move. [September 2012, p.84]

One of the best on-rail shooters around, with all its limitations, in shiny HD. If you love the genre get it, it's one of the few good reasons to own a Playstation Move after all.

Resident Evil: Chronicles HD Collection is a solid pairing considering the price tag, but with nothing new besides the HD facelift, there's little here to entice veteran players.

It feels great to blast though the hordes of zombies and monsters and especially the big guns will leave you with a wicked smile. If you haven't played it on the Wii, own a Move and are not averse to the one-sided gameplay, it´s an easy buy.

Two player co-op works like a dream and allows for quick drop-in drop-out gameplay, something that many rail-shooters seem to forget.

Resident Evil: Chronicles HD Collection doesn't turn the genre on its head, and it certainly isn't a must have, but if you're looking for some lightgun fun, by yourself or with a friend,Resident Evil: Chronicles HD Collection is a recommended investment for a few afternoons of zombie blasting fun.
