No where as bad as I heard it was

Although before buying this i heard it was terrible to play single player, i have not seen any truth to this. It is much harder to play single player simply because there are just as many enemies as when you play it co-op. And don't get me wrong, it's fun to play single player mode but 100 times more fun to play with a friend. So don't be afraid, and definitely check this out.

Oh, and the zapper helps SO much more in shooting.

Good but different resident evil

This game is really fun with a friend. However, be warned, it is not like other resident evils. This is a SHOOTING game, not a puzzle/action game like the others. It is very much like House of the Dead, but with more depth and goodies. I have played it for over 20 hours, but most of you will not play for that long. The game will likely take about 8-12 hours to beat all the sublevels and main levels. It does have replay value in that you can upgrade guns, somewhat like resident evil 4. Very fun with a friend as well, because you share health and must work together. However, I would not buy it for $50 plus tax. I got mine for $38 brand new. Look for a deal if you want to buy it, or just rent it and you could beat it in a few sittings.

Is a fun game

Game is a fun first person shooter game. My only complaint is you don't have much control over your view. You can look around a bit with the nunchuck, but there's not a lot of movement in any direction. This would be nice as the computer moves you and sometimes moves you too fast so I miss objects and would like to be able to still pick them up. Other than that it is a fun game and works well with the gun.

It's fun to shoot stuff, really it is

Basically all that you do is go around and shoot things to try to make their heads blow up. It's pretty engaging. There isn't a whole lot of thought required, which is nice. Just shoot at everything that moves, and even things that don't. You can shoot pretty much everything in the environment to varying results. There is also a lot of content (worth unlocking) to unlock, and two player is quite fun. If you want to shoot some zombies and not have to worry about solving puzzles and decyphering plot details then this is the game for you.

In my opinion this is strictly a two player game

I have had some serious fun playing this with my fiancee. In fact she usually ends up being the one to tell me to man up and get ready for a couple more hours of zombie killing. Which is something I never expected to happen when we got the Wii.
I think I would get bored really quick if I played this on my own though, it is nothing at all like the other RE games I've played in the past. The rail based shooting is awesome for a co-op game (no one fighting over which way to go or holding someone up by getting too far away) but there are many better games more similar to RE4 if you are on your own.
If you're looking for a fun, mindless shooting game to play with a friend then you'll probably do well with this one. If you're on your own you'd better really like rail based shooters if you plan on picking this up.
I'd also wait for the price to drop. It's fun, but not $50 worth of fun.
