In my books RE4 is simply the best video game ever -- and it'll be hard to beat for future RE franchise titles. The storyline is gripping, the action packing, and the scenes absorbing. It's more than a shooter; it's a shooter plus adventure. I never got into Halo or Zelda or Mario; for me, RE4 is what video game consoles are made for.
I played the GC and PS2 version back in early 2006. After getting my Wii I decided to replay this great game. The adaptation for the Wii controler makes the game a little easier to play through than on the other cnosoles. The same visuals remain -- and like the PS2 version, you get progressive scan which makes some of the darker scenes easier to navigate. Unfortunately, no new content is added, but the price is not too bad, esp. if you buy it used.
This is just an awesome "total experience" game that every game lover should play. The wii version is worth at least a rental even for those who've already played it before on another console.
great game

I have been playing PC games for some time and have my favorites due mostly to their ease of use and the simplicity of the controls. Half Life and F.E.A.R. are great examples of what I like. This game falls far short in the ease of use and the sophistication categories. While the Wii control system is kind of neat, it also is clumsy and problematical. Not much fun this. High frustration level.
Finally! An awesome game on the Wii aside form "Twilight Princess"

I've never played a single minute of the resident evil series prior to my experience with the "Wii Edition" of RE4, so my comments can be taken with this in mind...
I'm not too far into the game yet, but so far I feel that these little blurbs can fairly describe the game:
- impressive graphics for the Wii
- very suspenseful, intense, and *engaging* gameplay
- gameplay using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk is very intuitive and effective
- interesting story
- gameplay on even 'standard' difficulty is challenging (I feel that I won't blow through this game quickly)
- let's be honest...the price point is pretty nice.
In summation, I've been getting a little worried about my Wii...I have some other games aside from the most recent Zelda title, but once I finished "Twilight Princess," I pretty much switched over to my xbox 360 and let the Wii alone. I'm very happy that another (in my opinion) "must-have" title has been released for the Wii. Now if only Manhunt 2 can get released soon--I'll be in "mature gamer" heaven!
Fun

At first, I was frustrated with this game. The controls seemed limiting especially considering how I thought this game to be a straight 1st person shooter. But the action definitely came through later and the controls were perfect once you figured them out. The reason this game is soo successful is because its basically a movie and you're the main character. Its a lot of fun, a lot of action, and an exciting world.
Amazing

I was a first time RE4 player. In fact, I hadn't played any of the RE series since the first game way back on the PS1. The reason was the horrible controls. I had heard alot of good buzz about RE4 when it was on the Gamecube, but I never bothered. When it came out on the Wii, I finally gave in. I am glad I did. This game is fun. Very solid, and once of my favorites on the Wii so far. I love it that Nintendo is embracing not only light hearted games like Raving Rabids, but also gritty, dark games, like RE4. The controls work excellent and you will become proficient rather quickly. I can't imagine playing this game any other way, but if you insist on using the old control scheme, you can plug in your old Gamecube controller and use that. I have yet to beat the game and look forward to playing it through again once I beat it. GET THIS GAME!

Most of you are probably familiar with RE. That's what this is... but with a duck-hunt style pointer for shooting. It takes getting used to but when you learn it, it's completely intuitive and hard to imagine playing the game without. Accuracy actually counts in this version of RE, and in my opinion that makes it infinitely better. Many people will be way too lazy to take the 10 mins to learn it though because it's difficult at first.
Near perfect

I have played the PS2 and Gamecube versions, in fact I bought the gamecube version like a month before the Wii version came not knowing it was going to the new console. I picked up the Wii version the day of and I must say this game is perfect for the Wii. By far the best version of the game. It appears to look slightly better than the gamecube version. The Wii controls are the perfect addition to this already masterpiece of a game. Even if you have played other version and you own a Wii, at least rent this version just to see the difference. I cant say enough good things about the game in general but especially this new port :-). I haven't played any other Resident Evil games simply because I don't really like games with prerendered enviornments and fixed camera angles. RE4 is in full 3d so I was intrigued cause I am such a horror movie buff. If you own a Wii you should get this game and you will not regret it. The new controls give you the precision aim this game needs.
