this is the only resident evil game i ever liked until umbrella chronicles, which is also cool. the control is much better in the wii version than the Game Cube version.

The raddest game ever!

I finished this two weeks ago, and I'm still bummed it's over. I was hooked. It took me a good 30 hours of play time which was fun the entire trip. Scary, gory, challenging, and fun. So worth it. The Wii controls are amazing. Number 5 can't come out soon enough.

One of the Wii's finest titles

For the longest time, I wasn't that into Resident Evil. I have vague memories of playing 2 and 3 but for some reason, I didn't get into them the way I did Final Fantasy and Zelda. The original release of Resident Evil 4 on the Gamecube sort of brought me back, not because I finally rediscovered the series but rather there was just simply nothing else out there. Well now it's back on the Wii and it actually makes what was a great experience on the Gamecube even better with a much better emphasis on control and aiming and since the game was a good play anyway, it's a worthy purchase.

Story: Taking place 6 years after the incident in Raccoon City (depicted in RE 2 and 3), former police officer Leon Kennedy is on a mission to rescue the President's daughter Ashley Graham who's been recently kidnapped. But getting in was fairly easy while finding her and getting the two of you out alive is another story as there's strange villagers and bizarre creatures out to make sure you don't leave.

Graphics: While it doesn't push the Wii to its limits the way the Gamecube one did, this edition is just as impressive with detailed character models and physics as well as superb use of lighting and fog to help create the mood. Also, since the series is finally in full 3D, there's more depth to the environment and while occasionally a blurry texture will show up, it's still looks as good as it did.

Sound/Music: The series has always been about B-movie dialogue and like voice acting and with such lines as "you're small time!" and "you're right hand comes off?" complete with typo, it's always strange playing a RE game with great atmosphere and tension yet it has the most laughable of plot presentation. The music is a bit different as well since some of it, namely the more action-y theme when things get hectic is meant to get your heart racing whereas before it had more of an ambient feel to it.

Gameplay: Pretty much everything's the same since the GC/PS2 ones came out. With the camera behind Leon the entire time instead of preset angles, the game has a pseudo-FPS feel to it that feels more natural and while running-while-shooting mechanics would be much welcome one day, you never feel like you can't hit enemies like the old days because your aim was off. And with the action being amped with plenty of ammo and naturally, plenty of enemies, the new gameplay style as well as the Wii controls make it more enjoyable to play. My one complaint is that while ammo is plentiful, other things are not such as grenades. Always useful with scores of enemies, at times they seemed like there wasn't enough and since enemies don't always die when shot in the head or even quite a few chest shots, it's annoying for crowd control.

As far as the actual game itself, it's more intense than creepy since you'll find yourself getting adrenaline-pumped and antsy in new areas but after awhile, it feels kind of, I don't know, same-y? When you reach a whole new area halfway a good chunk in the game and have a whole new area to explore, it feels somewhat stretched out and it almost kills the pacing. Puzzles are thankfully not as oddball and out-of-place (seriously, who builds a room with enclosing walls inside a mansion?) with really the only puzzles coming from equipment management. For the first time, the weapons can be upgraded with features such as firepower, capacity and reload time being available to be "tuned up" so you have to wonder...is it better to save my money knowing a better gun will be on sale soon or upgrade my lowly shotgun then sell it at a high price later? Luckily, your enemies apparently are rich buggers so money usually isn't an issue.

With Assignment Ada, Separate Ways and the popular Mercenaries plus the main game, there's very little reason to not buy the Wii edition of probably one of the better games to get for the Wii.

A Well Continued Tradition

RE4 keeps up with the tradition of the RE series well. The Wii makes it quite interesting to play a shooter game because aiming with the remote is very intuitive. It goes pretty much the same as on other consoles with several "Wii moves" parts to perform automated tasks.

awsome

I have been playing Resident Evil 4 in last two months since I purchased the game. I didn't expect it will be a such fun game to spend during my weekend or even weekday envening. Although the image quality should be better in PS3 or XBox, I am glad I have chance to play this game at Wii console.

Sweaty hands are a small price to pay for all this fun!

Having never played a Resident Evil series game before, I wasn't sure what to expect. But I picked it based on the glowing reviews and the low price. And it was worth every penny and more! By turns I was spooked, shocked and exhilarated. I was completely drawn in and learned not to turn it on if I didn't have a couple hours to kill! I cannot praise this game highly enough! For what it is worth, I am not a heavy gamer. Before the Wii my last game console was SNES. But knowing how good this game was, I would have paid double the price for it. That's how much I liked it! And I'm not done. Winning the initial "normal" game unlocks additional content. I have many hours yet to go! Highly recommended!!

Horror / Survival fans Unite!

I want to first of all say thanks to Capcom for re-releasing this amazing title for the Wii. The game is awesome regardless, but now offering the interaction only available through the Wii, an old classic has been brought back to life with a new found glory. The hands on elements of the Wii also give the game a new sense of horror IMHO. Get the game, a case of beer, a group of friends, and turn the lights out... you won't be disappointed!

Great import of a great game

This is a really great import. I love the Wii's version of RE4. I bought RE4 back on the cube and loved it. This version on the Wii reminds me why I love this game. Also the bargain price of only $30 is a nice addition as well. Recommend for anyone who has the Wii.

Resident Evil 4, Wii rocks!
