Well one thing I love about Darkside Chronicles is that it keeps Leon's character in RE2 pretty in tact. They didn't retroactively make him a badass in RE2. They kept him as the same inexperienced, dorky, yet brave hero he was in the original game. I seriously loved the RE2 portions of the game to pieces. Yeah, its not accurate but its still enjoyable. I mean, who expects the Chronicles games to be accurate anyways?
The graphics and scenery are awesome. Just finished the RE2 portions. Can't wait to do the Code Veronica one. I just...I just wish this game lead somewhere. RE: Umbrella Chronicles was a lead into RE5 thanks to it chronicling the fall of Umbrella, and Wesker's rise to power in terms of finally achieving his goal of acquiring Umbrella's core assets. UC showed us just how Umbrella fell as a company thanks to Chris and Jill. It was actually a stepping stone in terms of the progression of the RE plot.
Darkside Chronicles seems to just....be a side story that basically tells us what Leon did before RE4, the relationship between Leon and Krauser, why Krauser turned evil, and...that's it. I mean, that's all very interesting and fun. But...in the end, the game just being that kinda leaves you wanting more. I wish it hinted at what would be coming next in terms of the story post RE5.
