You’ll play the same levels over and over again with pretty much the same objectives, the only substantial difference being a couple of lines of scene-setting narrative text at the beginning of each one. The single-player campaign, dubbed The Experiment, puts players in the boots of a recruit thrown into a series of training scenarios in which he rushes through various settings with simple objectives, such as killing a set number zombies and collecting samples from their corpses, or tracking down and recovering a handful of briefcases with vital data. There are two modes, neither of which is much fun. Hence, players take on the roles of mercenaries employed by these companies who go to war with each other over Umbrella’s scraps. With the notorious Umbrella corporation pretty much out of the picture, rival companies with an interest in biological weapons are scrambling to scavenge whatever they can from the ruins Umbrella has left behind in outbreak zones around the world. Umbrella Corps hasn’t a story so much as a premise. Sadly, Umbrella Corps is just a mess of a game.
