Had it a week plus now and am in mixed feelings about it. For a Wii game the graphics are great, I'm relaly enjoying the extra background story but oh my god what is it with the wobbling of the camera.
It is a game I can only play for short periods of time as it simply frustrates me. I much prefer the movement of Umbrella Chronicles, Darkside seems to have gone completely OTT. Even if they are trying to say it is "more realistic" I still think 90% of us would be able to hold still enough to pop a few rounds off. Pretty much the ability to aim adequately is seriously affected by the camera.
Also the monsters still seem to keep attacking even when you shoot them and often you turn away before you can even aim at the monster to try and stop it from killing you! Before it's often the case a shotgun will stop a Licker mid-attack but this doesn't seem to happen and you find yourself dying far too quickly with very little you can do about it!
These aside though I really am enjoying the game! So I'm at odds with myself over this one but unlike Umbrella and RE4 I think when I've completed Darkside it won't be something I will replay again will probably sell it off.
So in all it has to be the least favourite of my RE games (I've not got too many or played them all) and say the story and background it offers is what is keeping me going. Overall it has to only get 5/10 from me.
Sorry had to rant a little!
