Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition

Evil's New Face

Strengths: Over-the-shoulder perspective, fun gameplay, nice graphics (for the time), and sound. Wiimote aiming.

Weakness: Graphics might turn some people off that are picky about such things. Sound is Dolby Pro Logic only, and not true surround sound.

This is the version of Resident Evil 4 to own. This version benefits from the Gamecube's better visuals while containing the Playstation 2's extra content. The Wii Edition also supports widescreen, which previously only the Playstation 2 version supported. The wiimote makes aiming weapons much easier than using analog sticks, but for those that still prefer standard controls, the Classic...

Impressive Adventure

Strengths: Excellent use of Wii control Addictive adventure Weapons variety Hilarious voice acting (if you know Spanish) Graphics

Weakness: Drab environments Unidimensional nature of shotting

I never played the Gamecube version of the game but I must say that it really lends itself to the Wii controls in terms of the added precision to blow those zombies off at will. The graphics are very well made and nowhere does the game loose its appearance of reality. My only gripe here is the drabness and lack of color of it all. I understand the developers tried to convey an atmosphere of...

I never played the Gamecube version of the game but I must say that it really lends itself to the Wii controls in terms of the added precision to blow those zombies off at will.
The graphics are very well made and nowhere does the game loose its appearance of reality. My only gripe here is the drabness and lack of color of it all. I understand the developers tried to convey an atmosphere of terror but maybe went a bit too far.
I found the voice acting by the "Spanish" zombies hilarious being Hispanic myself although the accent is clearly from Mexican actors. The voice acting and expressions by Leon, the protagonist during the radio communications with his contact back home endow the character with a nice sense of personality when you factor in his little gestures and idiosyncrasies.
While it is extremely fun to shoot at the zombies with all your different weapons, there is perhaps a tad too much shooting going on but never ceases to be fun. The shooting is complemented by puzzle solving and a sense of purpose at every step of the way.

If you never played the Gamecube version, I suggest you grab this one as it will keep you coming back for more until you finish it.

Wii have a hit!

Strengths: Great storyline, widescreen, unlockable games, fantastic controls.

Weakness: Version is starting to show its age.

Those of you who have this title for the Gamecube know how great it is for that system. The Wii version is all that and incorporates everything from the PS2 version and of course incorporates the great controls of the Wii remote and nunchuck. Those new to this gaming platform, don't hesitate to add this title to your library. Even though Resident Evil 4 is starting to show its age compared to...

Those of you who have this title for the Gamecube know how great it is for that system. The Wii version is all that and incorporates everything from the PS2 version and of course incorporates the great controls of the Wii remote and nunchuck. Those new to this gaming platform, don't hesitate to add this title to your library. Even though Resident Evil 4 is starting to show its age compared to today's titles, you won't find more immersive gameplay on the Wii for now. Also, the MSRP is very affordable, so get it because you won't be disappointed. Highly recommended for every Wii owner that meets the minimum age requirement.

Must buy for the wii!

Strengths: Wii remote, graphics and of course the gameplay!

Weakness: None!!!! :)

Me and my friends loved Resident Evil 4 more than we ever thought possible. When some of my friends first complained about how some reviews put this game in a bad light, I thought I was making a mistake buying this. But as I played this game, I thought the controls were just perfect, better than any game I have played! Just aim the Wii remote at the enemy and pull the trigger to shoot/kill. It's...

Me and my friends loved Resident Evil 4 more than we ever thought possible. When some of my friends first complained about how some reviews put this game in a bad light, I thought I was making a mistake buying this. But as I played this game, I thought the controls were just perfect, better than any game I have played! Just aim the Wii remote at the enemy and pull the trigger to shoot/kill. It's simple; I find myself utterly bemused when people complain about it not being as accurate. As far as I'm concerned, it's far easier than just using the stick to aim and will immerse you even more as your arm will start to twitch with fear as you're overrun by raging mad villagers and Regenerators.

Bottom line: Get the game, you won't regret it!! Plus it's cheaper than any other game. But if you have played this title before on the game cube or the ps2, it's not that different (the story line) But still, buy it for the controls!

This game rocks@

Strengths: Wiimote features

Weakness: Same RE4

Resident Evil 4 will ALWAYS be a classic. That being said, it has already been played before... but it still rocks.

The wiimote features make it pretty damn cool though!

Defintely recommended!
