I own a Wii, And I'm stuck between: The Darkside Chronicles OR
The Umbrella Chronicles.
Isn't The Darkside Chronicles a mostly a remake of RE2? JW
 
UC retells RE0, RE1, RE3, and has a new scenario, Umbrella's End, showing Chris and Jill as they wander through Umbrella's last facility, in Caucasus (it is a resume of the events as told by Wesker). There's some secret scenarios as Wesker (his involvement in the events of the main stories), Ada (Showing how she survived after RE2) and Hunk (escaping from the Police Station).
TDC has a new story with Leon and Krauser at South America. At a point, Leon tells the events of RE2 and RE: Code Veronica to Krauser (they are playable).
Umbrella Chronicles changes a lot of the original stories, but The Darkside Chronicles keeps them very loyal, or changes them for the better.
There's no specific order, because thry're not linked. However, if you like Chris/Jill/Wesker, I recomend UC. If you like Leon/Claire, play TDC.
 
Darkside has better graphics but the umbrella Chronicles has a steady camera , the graphics in the cutscenes are very simaler to those of the remake, which i too recomend if you havn't played the gamecube version, and RE4 looks great on the Wii but i prefer the PS2 over the wii
 
Personally, I would go for Umbrella Chronicles. It's more entertaining and has more content. I got bored of Darkside Chronicles pretty quickly; I completed it once and haven't went back to it, whereas in Umbrella Chronicles I still play it to this day.
 
I finished Darkside Chronicles pretty quickly and from what I've heard Umbrella Chronicles is longer and better.
 
Out of the chronicles games, I think you should get Darkside Chronicles. You go though the exact same events from RE2, Code Veronica, and a new scenario entitled OPERATION: Javier. Some twist include that Claire and Steve had to go through a training area where they had to shoot targets and zombies, Wesker never appeared or fought, Alexander first shows his face and in a video about his daughter becoming obsessed with the Veronica virus like the brat she is and tells you to destroy her, and of course it shows Steve falls and his axe gets into him. You even get to see how Leon was recruited into the goverment. OPERATION: Javier also answers questions on how Krauser turned into an enemy in RE4. Plus you even get to hear his thoughts on how he thought during the last few missions.

In Umbrella Chroincles is you of course do 0,1, and 3, plus a mission where you fight Umbrella in Russia. It shows how Wesker got out of the facility, how Rebecca got into Mansion (but it never showed how she got into guest room outside the Mansion), how Wesker survived and how he got out, and how Ada survived (but not the full thing). In the new scenario which I forgotten the name, it shows Jill and Chris in a Russia facility trying to stop the BOW. Also in the game you meet a guy named Sergi, or whatever, and all I have to say about him is that he is weird. He really is, all he dose is cut himself with some sort of blade. Everytime I see him do that I always ask, "Why dose he keep doing that?".

Out of my opinion, Darkside Chroincles is much more better and answers more important qustions.
 
Thanks everyone, I think i will go with DSC, due to I love RE2, PLUS Scott is my fav character. Thanks though, i appreciate it! =)
 
darkside is 1000 times better than UC. i have many reasons too. graphics, boxart, the scenarios are much longer and closer to the actual game counterparts, archives, you can see the other character during gameplay and you can see the arms and hands of the character your playing as while reloading (gives you a more realistic feeling), and the cutsenes are entertaining and fun to watch, music and much more. i never really liked the umbrella chronicles but i loved DS.
 
I purchased them both for my Wii system.

I do like RE Darkside a little better then RE Umbrella Chronicles

BUT I had the same problem about which to buy Soooooo I just

purchased them both! ;)
