*New Rating* Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles
Give the game a rating out of 10, with 10 being excellent, 1 being poor. This will help to give people an idea as to how good the game is if they are considering to buy it.
Please consider your vote carefully, and only vote if you own the game. This may sound obvious, but there will always be one voting because they like the look of the game but haven't yet played it.
If you feel inclined to do so, take a few minutes to comment on why you gave the rating you did.
If you want to see a game you want to buy getting the same treatment, post a request in the sticky at the top of this section.
This is a superb on-rails shooter, although the bosses are incredibly tough to beat.
It is somewhere between 7 & 8, but I gave it 8 on the strength of the replay value.
If you haven't tried it yet, it's well worth a flutter.

I have gone for a 7!! I love Resident Evil games and the rail shooter-ness of it was great
As you say Sue, the bosses on the game are very hard to beat...but once you empty for 46th Shotgun shell into them they seem to go down a treat
Personaly I prefer playing this as a 2 player with a friend. Got back into last weekend for a few hours when my friend visited from the sunny south.

7. I really like this game. I got hooked on it for a while - racked up around 35 hours on one file!! It is a fairly skilled shooter - in that the critical head shots are slightly tricky at times. The graphics are really good, as is the style of play. I found some of the bosses easy and others fairly hard. Good game overall, a good amount of levels and replay value.
I have given the game a 6. I'd give it more, but having played Ghost Squad, I feel that RE:UC can be slightly long-winded. Great visuals, excellent nostalgia factor, and very pleasing when you beat a boss. The leech things can be very annoying (I mean, what's the point of the Knife!).
However, since Ghost Squad is such a short game, RE:UC is certainly better value for money. Ghost Squad is better for occasional, pick-up-and-play sessions.
