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...

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...

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...

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!

Don't Pay Full Price

Strengths: New way of gameplay. More interactive. Decent graphics.

Weakness: Should have been more new features. Not many new surprises from Gamecube version.

Decent game, but I wouldn't pay full price for this. I believe the regular Gamecube and Playstation 2 version are both $20 (being that it's a player's choice game now). Not much new, other than a cool new way to play with the Wii controller. Graphics are alright. I suppose this is a game to get your teeth wet until the new upcoming RE game comes out for the Wii. I say rent RE4 for the wii or buy...

resident evil 4 wii

Strengths: good graphics

Weakness: need more action

resident evil 4 wii edition is a good game, the graphics are pretty good. There are lots of good shooting graphics and options. I would recommend this game, especially for older teens. The price was fair.

my son's favorite game

Strengths: fast paced,great graphics

Weakness: this game could have another level.

This is my son's favorite game. He has 9 now so that means something. He is 13. He will play this for hours. I don't play but I get a minute by minute update from him. He gets so excited. He likes the fact that he gets to play hero and save the girl.

One of the best games of all time just got better

Strengths: The best game of the last generation, improved!

Weakness: None?

Resident Evil 4 will be remembered as one of the finer games ever released. Originally available on the GameCube, it was ported to the PS2 with additional modes. Now on the Wii, the best of the GameCube version (graphics) and the PS2 version (extras) have been combined into the definitive version with one additional enhancement - controls. The aiming via pointing is a fantastic improvement over...

Good action, but not for casual gamers

Strengths: Intuitive and imaginative control scheme, Intense action, Lots of bonuses and extras, Bargain price

Weakness: Inane plotting, occasionally tedious gameplay

Having never played this game when it was released for Gamecube or PS2, I was very much looking forward to trying it on the Wii. After playing through the main game and most of the bonus missions, I can say its status as one of the best action games yet made is well deserved. That said, anyone who has picked up a Wii for casual gaming is likely to find RE4 tedious and frustrating. This is a game...
