| I loved cutscenes too. I'm glad that we can review them as much as we want now in the Archives, since we couldn't in the Umbrella Chronicles. The cutscene with Chief Irons was cool; I wish that he could've gotten more screen time though. I love the fight with Mr. X in the power room of the lab, with Leon and Claire both fighting him at once. I love the way they show Ada's "death scene" in the game too; it's just as emotional as it was back in the original RE2.
Leon and Krauser being partners, and in a game with the word "Darkside", reminds me very much of Star Wars with Obi-Wan Kenobi (in this case Leon) and Anakin Skywalker (in this case Krauser). I loved this element of the game very much, because it makes Krauser feel like a once "good" character who is corrupted and ultimately turns evil. |

This sums up alot of how I feel about the game as well. Seeing Krauser and Leon together, with the voices being done by Jim Ward and Paul Mercier made it even better, it just made me smile.
As for RE2's section, Irons had such a cool part, although relatively small, and his mutation, or rather G bursting from his body looked really cool. I love the Birkin family, so seeing anything else from them is just great. I didn't like William's voice at all, it is the same guy from UC, and he sounded like a 12 years old then, and just as much now. Otherwise I loved seeing all of his mutations made over with the nice graphics. That scene where he strikes down Annette in his 2nd form was just epic.
CVX had a cool part as well. The Ashford's were some what dissapointing, what with the voices and all. Claire and Steve were both pretty cool, although I disliked little gratuitous changes to their outfits. CVX was always my favorite Wesker appearance, shame we didn't really see him, but considering DC Douglas was doing his voice, I wouldn't want to hear him butcher Richard Waugh's perfect lines. This also happened to be my favorite Chris appearance, and using Roger Craig Smith(freshley off of RE5) was genius. The part at the end where him and Claire reunite felt so much better in DC than in CVX, it wasn't quite as casual, you could really feel and see the emotion.
Again with Operation Javier, it had a good plot, we get to see more of the Veronica virus, and there was some great music, mixed in with some cool stuff with Jack & Leon, overall I give the game a 10/10. Even gameplay wasn't so bad._________________ How much liquour could a licker lick if a licker could lick liquor?

| I agree too. I thought that the music in the game was good too. I'm glad they got the original composers of RE2 and RE:CVX to return and and compose and remix their original tracks. It was nice to hear the "Front Hall Theme" in the background while Leon and Claire talk to Marvin. And the "Lullaby" that Alexia and Alfred sing was refreshing to hear again. The new music introduced in Operation Javier was also pleasant on the ears. The one thing that I think that should've been included in Darkside Chronicles was more side-stories, in the same vein as "Death's Door" was in Umbrella Chronicles. It would've been awesome to play as Wesker "behind-the-scenes" during the events of RE:CVX.  |

| I think it should have added some cool new behind the scenes kind of stuff, perhaps like we saw with Death's Door and Dark Legacy, etc., but I personally don't want to listen to DC Douglas butcher the Wesker voice anymore than he already has.
I would like to have seen more of Chris though, especially since Roger Craig Smith was doing his voice, it would have been nice to shed some light on moments not really seen, such as the time between the Mansion and Raccoon Incidents, with trying to show what happened and how it was Umbrella's fault, and the stuff leading up to the events on Rockfort...getting the info from Leon about Claire, etc. _________________ How much liquour could a licker lick if a licker could lick liquor?
