Who is better to play in RE Archives?!

Jill has two more item slots than Chris.

Jill get's a lockpick, whereas Chris has to use small keys found throughout the mansion.

I think Chris has a slightly better chance of getting a headshot on a zombie.

Both Characters interact with different members of STARS - e.g. Chris meets Rebecca, and Jill meets Barry.

There are a few more things that I can't really think of right now, but that should give you a decent idea of the differences. Also, any other questions you have about the game would be better off asked here, mate.
 
Chris has a harder story mode , he has to use small keys on some of the importaint doors, unlike jill, Chris is Faster when running with no gun equipt, but jill has more slots,
 
In my opinion, Jill would be the better to play as. She gets a lock-pick, skips some parts in the game (like the plant boss battle where she dosen't need a chemical, but she dose need Barry with flamethrower), dosen't need a broken shotgun to get a working shotgun, gets a grenade laucncher, can get infinite ammo with the grenade launcher, she can get Barry's Magnum that kills Tyrant in 1 hit, gets more slots, dosen't require you to leave the piano room to get in the passage, and you get her RE3 outfit as well as looking like Sarah Conor.
 
I hear Jill gets injured easier though. Is this a big con?
Jill seems to be the obvious choice here.... am i right?...

It is not really that big of problem since there are herbs everywhere. However if you do the grenade launcher glitch that gives you multiple grenade rounds then it is easy and you shouldn't get inured that much.(The Grenade Glitch is only availble for the NTSC version of the game.)
 
play as chris since his story is canon.
and its more of a struggle since he has 2 less item slots, so you have to be more careful.
 
Jill for the first time, to get use to the game. Then Chris, his game is harder but it's so cool when he uses his grenades. Soometimes i let myself et caught because i don't want to refill the canteen. Also, he can get headshots easier (it's a lot helpful in Remake).
 
This is my first time playing it on Wii, I think I'll go with Jill. She seems to be the most popular choice.

My #1 suggestion is to not play as Chris until you have either Samuria Edge or the Infinite Rocket Launcher.

Samuria Edge - Beat the game in under 5 hours

Infinite Rocket Launcher - Beat the game in less than 3 hours
 
I dunno, but I think Chris gets Jill's gun after encountering the first zombie? Or I'm actually wrong as it's just in the original version of RE1... x_x

OT:

If I'm starting out a game, I usually take the easiest mode to get the feel of it. In REmake's (Wii version) case, I would definitely go for Jill. :)
