Shoot 'em between the eyes. Blast up all the furniture etc. to find extra ammo and health packs. Enemies all have soft spots and weaknesses to particular weapons.

Take the time to line up critical shots on zombies and be quick to switch to your secondary when the zombies start to lunge to knock them back and restart the process.

If your having Ammo problems, do a few of the earlier levels (in your case the first level) and stock up on your secondary ammo because the leftover ammo you have at the end of your mission is retained for future missions (ie use your handgun whenever possible using the secondary only to stun a lunging zombie and bosses or if you really want to stock up on a bundle of ammo, handgun the boss).

The second level is fairly moderate difficulty wise until you get to the leach men at the end of the level and thats where you want to be using your grenades. If your having problems with monkeys, stock up on smg ammo and just spray them whenever they pop up. The smg would be the prefered weapon for this level due to the boss and the monkeys.

The critical shots on zombies are key.

Hope your having fun!

Do all of the above and learn to use the knife as well if you don't have secondary. If u time it right u can deflect their attacks!

Conserve secondary ammo, shoot everything you can, grenade liberally (for 2nd part - since you can't 'nade the boss), upgrade if possible... and yeah, enjoy it.

Why did you restart the chapter if you'd gotten to the boss? If you die, and then continue, you'll start with full health at the start of the boss fight again. Even if you don't "continue", you'll start from the last checkpoint the next time you load up again.

Who's the second boss? Are you talking the second stage in the train level? Or is it the end of the second level, the mansion?

The only thing I can help with is saying to keep your handgun out when you're walking between enemies and shoot anything that your crosshairs say you can. You'll pick up more first aid sprays and herbs that way.

Are you using the zapper or just normal controls?

The controls dont matter as such. I play without a zapper and am quick to change with the c button.

Another tip from me to stock up on ammo is to dual wiimotes on the first level. The enemys stay the same so you can go all out with two hand guns Lara Croft style and you can conserve sg and smg ammo. And you have double the amount of nades so you can find hidden ammo and files easy.

Thats of course if u have two wiimotes.

The critical hit isnt between the eyes on zombies as stated earlier. Aim at the hair line, think of it as shooting their brain.

Yeh the only problem with dual wiimotes is actiom sequences. But that becomes easier with practice.

It's a different style of game altogether, the only similarity being that you shoot at things. Umbrella Chronicles is an on rails shooter in the style of Virtua Cop, Time Crisis, et al, but perhaps a bit slower paced and more about accuracy.

It is TOTALLY different. For starter, there are no Zombies in RE4. Pretty much Umbrella Chronicles is like playing through RE0,1 and 3 in 'on rails shooter' mode like Time Crisis. It is a little short and repetitive, with bosses being very very tough. I recommend buying it on the EB Games 7 Day return policy and take it back within 7 days if it bores you. Thats what i am going to do and put the money down on a Tenkaichi 3 preorder (released on 28th Feb confirmed!).

I never understood the criticism that it is too short. There are 23 levels, some of which can take over an hour to get through on your first play on normal difficulty and you're ranked on your performance in typical Capcom style. There's loads of unlockables for your RE fan plus a two player mode. I've racked up over thirty hours on this game and still have much to do. You probably won't play it continuously as it's more of an arcade style game rather than being story driven but I'd still say it's good value.

the game is not short for a rail shooter. the fact that you can go back to get all the unlockable items plus co-op mode means means of plenty of smiles when you pop zombies in the head.

ive got a question tho, i was under the impression that weapons can be upgraded to 5 stars which would give it unlimited ammo, however it said maxed out when i upgraded it to 4 stars. do you have to finish the whole game first to upgrade a gun to 5 stars?

A or S rank on all missions on Hard.

Get cracking, doing that took a big chunk of my time and life away.

I'll correct myself, its actually a S rank on all Hard Missions.

Just make sure you get every file, make as many critical hits on zombies as you can and destroy as much of the levels as you can and you'll be right on the money.

Apparently if you get every file you automatically get a S rank.
I didn't bother though, I just beat the game on hard co-op with my mate.
Didn't take too long, all u need is a handgun, a SMG, and an MRL.
