A playable version of Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles was available on the show floor at this year's Tokyo Game Show. G4 is in attendance and snagged a little bit of play time with the game.
The team from Capcom decided to show off bits from the previously unseen campaign from the game, Operation Javier.
The Darkside Chronicles is a Wii exclusive that's due out later this year.

There are only so many ways that you can describe the play style of a retro-inspired on-rails shooter, but "Operation Javier" definitely has some moments that resemble Resident Evil 5. The flooded village has elements of that game's shanty towns in its art style, and that's no coincidence. Some RE: DC's team also helped out with the level designs of RE5. I also shot my way through new mutated B.O.W. classes, including deadly man-sized mutant frogs. It's an interesting break from the sort of environments I'm used to seeing after 13 years of playing Resident Evil.
