Product Description
In Resident Evil 4 you'll know a new type of horror, as the classic survival-horror action returns with all-new characters, controls and storylines. We last saw Leon S. Kennedy in Resident Evil 2 - a rookie cop in Raccoon City, fighting to stay alive. That was six years ago. Since then, government forces have managed to control the zombie threat and Leon has become a Federal agent. When the President's daughter is kidnapped, Leon tracks her to a remote, hidden fortress in Europe - where he'll relive the horror he faced six years before. Players will face never-before-seen enemies that make Nemesis seem like a kitten. You'll be wishing for the usual Resident Evil zombies!

 A new classic comes to the Wii July 8, 2008
I really, really hate reviews for re-released games that insult you for not having played the original when it was super popular. I had a PS2 and a Gamecube, but never got around to playing Resident Evil 4 on either of them. Then when I was reading reviews for RE4 on Wii it seemed like every reviewer was coming from the standpoint of "is it worth playing it _again_?" Some even insulted my gamer integrity, because of course you're not a REAL gamer unless you play every single popular game that comes out. Well I know I'm not the only one out there who hasn't played Resident Evil 4 before. This review is for you.
The first thing I have to say is, I never played through any of the previous Resident Evil games because of their bizarro control scheme. The good news is, the controls in RE4 are straightforward and (I think) easy to use. For the most part it's a traditional over-the-shoulder third person shooter. The only thing that might strike some players as weird is that you have to hold in the B button to aim (which is done with the Wii Remote) and then press A to fire. It's a little cumbersome, but you get used to it fast. Aiming with the Wii Remote is very satisfying, but I imagine it does make the game a little easier than it was on PS2 and GC. My only gripe with the controls is that during some of the cutscenes you are prompted to swing the remote wildly or rapidly press buttons. Sometimes failing to do so results in instant death. These moments have a very die-and-retry quality, because unless you know they're coming you will probably be caught off guard.
Speaking of cut scenes, the game has a pretty effective story. The writing is good, by video game standards, and the graphics and sound create a very creepy atmosphere. That being said, the ending is pretty dragged out. I kept thinking I was close to the end when a whole new section of map would open up. Although this stretching results in a reasonably lengthy game (I think it took me around 20 hours), the story doesn't hold up as well toward the end. There is also a lot to unlock. After you finish the story, you get the option of replaying it while retaining your items from the first playthrough, or playing on a new harder difficulty. You also get the Separate Ways missions, which allow you to step into the (uncomfortable-looking) shoes of another character who occasionally crossed your path during the main game. Finally, you get the Mercenaries mini-game, which I haven't had a chance to play through yet. There's a lot of bang for your buck here.
If, like me, you've put off playing Resident Evil 4, this is probably the most fun way to check it out. It certainly lives up to the hype, even a few years after its original release.
Fun and scary July 3, 2008
This game is fun and scary to play. At the end you will enjoy this game.
totally awesome June 30, 2008
This game is so fun.its fun shooting the zommbies and killing them with your knife. The wii controlers are fun for this game. I like getting new guns and upgraing them. I like sniper part.
Resident Evil 4 is amazing June 18, 2008
Resident Evil 4 is like the GTA game that never gets boring! Once you beat it you can play it OVER and OVER again with all the new weapons and upgrades you bought. It sometimes takes an hour or so to get used to the Wii controls but it's well WORTH it. I'd recommend this game to anyone. It's not just a shootem up game, like a lot of zombie games, it has a lot of fun puzzles and "smarter" ways to kill your enemies. Oh btw don't kill the wolf!
Best port ever on Wii June 9, 2008
Basically, this is a port of gamecube version of the game, which was released 3 years ago. You got everything from that version, together with Ada's Mission from PS2 version and revamped Wii Remote control. The game supports wide screen 480p and the graphic still looks incredibly good considering its age. Wii Remote control is well-implemented. The aim button is still here (holding B), but you can now use pointer to aim onscreen, which is far more accurate compared to analog stick. All in all, I would recommend this game to anyone who hasn't played the 4th iteration of the series. This is an ultimate and collector's edition of the game.
Pro: Wide screen 480p, Wii Remote control, all goodies from gamecube and PS2 (cut-scenes are rendered real time, unlike PS2 version). It's the ultimate RE4 edition.
Con: Since aiming is made easier, you will find ammo more scarce than the other versions. Many times I find myself having to use flash bang and lesser gun to survive. This adds lot of thoughts to gameplay, which may turn off those who like run-and-gun style.
