I harbour a deep amount of love for Resident evil 2 (giant alligator attack and all ;P), but I'm not feeling the same desire to get the Darkside chronicles as I did the first game. Probably because I know it's just going to be more of the same, and I want more than that.
It's a real shame Capcom STILL haven't included online play. That would have been something that might have swayed me more into getting this game. Because frankly, when my friends and I get together - we don't really tend to sit and play games. And on the occasions we do, we stick on a beat 'em up.
It'll be interesting to see how Capcom handle the Code: Veronica scenario's. Given Claire and Steve were rarely ever together in the game, and the only hint of the two of them having 'something' was when [SPOILER!!!!!] Steve died.

Hopefully this will be a game that will lower in price after a few months. A couple of games I've been waiting on still haven't cheapened, but that's probably because of their quality and sales.

My personal favorite improvement over Umbrella Chronicles is the ability to upgrade the handgun. We've upgraded nothing else so far and we're probably more than 2/3rds through our first run.

All to pretty good levels. Not all S ranks (sadly), but (spoilers if you don't want to know upgrade limits -------------) we've maxed power to B and rate of fire to A. We're going for capacity and reload speed now.

this will go on my list next year, I like having a cheap game on there.

This and Muramasa have forced my hand. Time to get a Wii.

Also, I've noticed they make the camera sway a lot more than I remember in RE:UC, I'm convinced it's a simple, yet effective way to increase the tension and difficulty. Make your screen act scared even if you aren't. I can't count the number of head-shots I've missed because of this little detail.

I'm not ashamed to profess my love for lightgun games.
The girlfriend and I had fun with Umbrella Chronicles ... and we loved HotD:Overkill.
She just got me DarkSide Chronicles and I'm sure we'll have fun with that one too.
I still need to give Dead Space a try.
And I'm hoping to find Ghost Squad in a bargin bin somewhere.

Decent gun attachments are a must. And not those backwards wii zappers.
We have a pair of Nyko "Perfect Shot" that are fantastic.
And I've got half a mind to get one of those nerf ones if I find the set for super cheap somewhere.

I think it's a case of potaytoe potahtoe.
I like how you can shoot EVERYTHING in a RE on rails shooter, in dead space none of the environment responds to your weapons fire. Also you have to constantly spam that "telekenisis" button which gets really repetitive.
The weapons in Extraction were pretty uninspiring also.
It was an ok game but I really wouldn't put it above the RE games in any sense of the word except maybe that it had 1 long story. Even with that, I love the RE lore and secrets even if they are in little snippets, it makes it feel like more than one game.
Extractions story I didn't care about as much, the characters were pretty typical and sounded like they were trying to swear to be cool.
RE characters leave more to your imagination and don't try to act as much so don't fail as much with switching accents etc.
