Anyone planning on picking this one up?
So far not sounding too special, but it's early days. At this point Umbrella Chronicles is a better purchase than it.
yes please,

this sounds great to me but i like on rails shooters over the open world stuff that everyone else prefers

if price is 30-40 bucks and not fifty that will help

should this thread be merged with: http://www.wiiloaded.com/The-House-of-th...-15672-wii
Not from what I've heard and read.. Sounds just like the last one apart from obviously the motion controls are going to be used, its just the same as the arcade ones really, just with your Wii Remote/Zapper rather than the big guns in the arcades.. But like Im-x said.. It's early days, we'll see.
