 In my opinion this is strictly a two player game July 24, 2008
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.
 Barely playeable July 13, 2008

I rented it because I wanted some game to play on the wii that would use a gun. This seems to the the only actual game choice that I could find. Pleas don't suggest that the crossbow practice is a game. I is barely playable and I wouldn't recommend it. I got the wii for my wife and so far there are no good games for it. I will see what old game cube game I can find and just forget the gun till someone bothers to make a real game.
It's fun to shoot stuff, really it is May 23, 2008
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.
Is a fun game May 11, 2008
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.
Good but different resident evil April 19, 2008
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.
