Cons: Controls, although you do get used to them, can be a bit of a pain when you first start playing. . Its the same game we've played on 2 other consoles and the PC, graphics really haven't changed at all.
"Resident evil 4 for the Wii is the same game we've all played before. It is also the same climatic and amazing adventure that we will never forget."
Resident Evil 4 is Reborn yet again! For the 3rd time and it still hasn't lost it's touch, Usually people are sick of games after they get their first port, that is definitely not the case for Resident evil 4: Wii Edition.
Yeah, yeah. You know the story. You play as Leon Kennedy; The government agent from Resident Evil 2. You have been tasked to rescue the Presidents Daughter, who has been kidnapped by unknown villains. You then find yourself in the back country of Spain, where the president's daughter is located. Leon is led to a creepy Spanish village where he find villagers that don't seem to be quite human. This story and game will keep you on the edge of your seat, wondering what's next. There is also a side story mode called "Separate ways", where you take the role of Ada Wong; This side story line so to speak was also on The Play Station 2 version of Resident evil 4.
There aren't really any new features that have been made specifically for the Nintendo Wii. Generally this is the same game you've probably played for either the Gamecube, Playstation 2, or even the PC, which means it has the same intense combat, great graphics (even for Wii standards) and gameplay that will often keep you on the edge of your seat. Not to mention the same amazing Boss Fights that Resident Evil 4 is known for.
The combat is generally the same as the other 3 versions: You draw your weapon the camera will zoom in and you are ready to fire. But aiming is definitely a lot harder on the Wii version than it is for any other. You use the Wii remote to aim, which can get pretty frustrating at times, but the controls aren't impossible to get used to. It should take you maybe a few hours of playing until you are completely in tune with the controls. However the combat is definitely the strong part of this game. There is really no better feeling than blowing a zombie's head off with a shotgun, than turning around and slitting another zombies throat. Only in Resident evil 4, only in Resident evil 4.
Now on to the rest of the controls: Like I Mentioned earlier, you use the Wii Remote to aim; and you use the joystick on the Nun-chuck to move and look around. The B trigger on the Wii Remote will fire your weapon, and the Wii remote aims. Also holding down The C button on the Nun-chuck will take your knife out and the A button on the Wii Remote will let you slice through zombies by using the knife. You can also hold down D to activate the aiming mode, where you can wave around your Wii Remote allowing you to slice through zombies manually.
There is also a pretty big variety of weapons in Resident evil 4, and this is also one of the best parts about the game. Through out the game you will find in crates scattered around, money know as Pesetas that you can collect and will give you the money to purchase weapons and new upgrades for your current weapons. The way you do this is in certain parts of the game you will run in to a mysterious Spanish merchant, who will allow you to trade in goods that you find throughout the game and buy weapons and weapon upgrades. Your weapons are very cool: You have the basic Pistol, Rifle, Sub machine gun, Shotgun, and who could forget the Rocket Launcher? But you also have a few other, more unique, weapons. Such as the Tommy Gun. Really in my opinion the whole weapons system in this game is really one of the coolest parts of the entire game.
Resident Evil 4 for the Wii also sounds as good as ever. The whole environment and the music and everything alone will just creep you out, and it really leaves you with that feeling you get when you know anything could happen right there, or that something is going to jump out at you right there. The game also has amazing weapon effect, such as if you shoot a zombie in the leg with a pistol you will just hear a simple pelt while if you shoot a zombie in the head with a shotgun, you will hear an enormous splatter. Also the game has a very creepy soundtrack, which goes along with the whole feel of the entire game.
One of the very few flaws in Resident evil 4 for the Wii is that there is really no graphical changes. Like the Playstation 2 version, it has widescreen and progressive scan. Fortunately for you, it still looks very good on the Wii. The game, in my opinion, has amazing water effects, even for a next generation (well now it's this generation) console with last generation graphics. Also the character models were created very well, and still have the same great detail from previous versions. Also, unlike other versions, the Wii version does not have Pre-rendered cutsceens.
The Wii Version of Resident Evil 4 may not have the same impact it did two years ago when it was released for the Gamecube, but that doesn't downgrade this version one bit. Even if you own this game for any of the other three versions and own a Wii, this is still a must have. Nothing quite matches the feel of slicing a zombies head off with the Wii Remote. Overall this is just a must have game even if you have played and/or beat it on any of the previous other versions.
