CVG have a preview up of Wii-exclusive Resident Evil title Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles. In a positive preview it seems the game plays much deeper than the simple light-gun game that was expected.

The combat feels distinctly un-light-gun-ish. The mansion responds to every bullet fired. Lead tears into the rotten woodwork, knocks paintings to the ground and shatters the dusty historical artefacts that litter the house of horrors. In terms of environmental damage it feels more like an FPS, far from the simple turkey shoots of Time Crisis et al. The thrill of shooting up environments previously known to us as pre-rendered backgrounds in the GC RE remake is a real treat.

Good news for Wii Resident Evil fans for sure.
