To anyone who has played Resident Evil 4

I have never played a action survival horror before and i never thought about picking this up when it came out. Could you tell me if this would be a good buy on the gamecube or PS2, i have a Wii but i dont really want to wait or have the motion controls that much.

Is this an ok difficulty level for someone new to the genre?

I love RE4 I beat it a while ago and now I'am replaying it I own the PS2 version and I love it.

Wait for the Wii version it will hae improved graphics and sweet controls

Its an awesome must have game. I mean I own it on GC and I will buy it on Wii as soon as it comes out for the extra features... check out some of the vids while you wait to get a feeling for the game...

I didn't know about the better graphics... But if you really can't wait, here's the main difference: the Gamecube version has slightly better graphics; the PS2 version has some extra features (quite worth it) once you beat the game.

get it for gamecube... da controls are very unique and take about half hour or so to get used to..
most of my friends enjoyed playing dis game on da gamecube rather dan da ps2.
u can always rent it for da latter and choose which one u like best, ps2 or gc.

dont get ur hopes too high for da wii, dey might screw up da motion sensing again for action/adventure games again...
for example da prince of persia rival swords.
da only thing motion sensing is used for is turning da camera, its not bad but its starts to get annoying.

Regarding the difficulty level for someone new to RE4: you'll probably have some problems with the first environment(s) in the game (i.e. the village). Just don't give up (and don't start the millionth GS topic: 'help, I'm stuck' :P), you'll have to see it as some kind of tutorial. If you've completed the village part, you've basically mastered the controls and general gameplay-feel. 

I only have it on ps2, but buy it on GC, better graphics and better controls.

Are you serious?

half hour to get used to?

No way, i got used to them in 5 minutes ps2, in gamecube even n shorter time, pc version has really complicated controls

its better for the GC especially if u got a wii

I personally think you should pick up the other RE's just to get the full story. RE4 was definantly a great game but I'm a fan of the original RE the one on the PS and the remake.

I've got both the Gamecube and PS2 versions of RE4. I've also seen the PC version but you really need a decent PC game pad in order to play it but you can customise some features (patches/skins...) which you can't do in console versions.

Since you have a Wii, I would wait a short while until the Wii version comes out. Why? Because it has all the extras that the PS2 version has plus if you don't want to use the motion controls I've heard that you can just plug in a standard Gamecube controller and use that instead.

Sure the Gamecube version is great and it's the version I played 2 years ago but since the Wii version has a little extra and should be released at a cheaper than standard price I hate to say this in a Gamecube forum but get the Wii edition.
