The Graphics are about the same as the GCN version, which were still considerably better than the PS2 version's (in the case of the PS2, they had to bump down the polygon count and texture sizes, as well as remove some lighting effects). I think the Wii controls are spot on... aiming has never been easier in this game... though even if you don't like them, the game includes alternative control modes for both the classic and GCN controller.

It's the same game as it was on the Gamecube/PS2. But now it's easier to aim. So if an easy version of RE4 sounds good to you, then go for it.

For me, it was just an okay action game.

Please dont ever complain about the controls being so easy... its kinda gets me angry how people dont look on the back of the box and notice you can use the classic or GC controller.

I really don't care. The control scheme is the only new part of the game and I'm going to talk about it.

Yeah but your calling it easy, if you use the GC/classic controller then it could be harder so dont say its "easier". Sure if you dont use the Wii controlls it beats the point of buying the WIi version, so dont buy it, but its your choice to make it easy or not.

Even if you played through the other ones, it's the type of game that is worth playing through again.  Plus, if you had the PS2 version, the graphics are a bit better, and if you played the GCN one you get the additional content.  Win win.

I still find RE4 to be one of the best games ever made. I bought the original (for GC) on release day, and I STILL play it at least a couple times a week. Of course it's all the Merc mode, but still...playing a game years after I bought it? That's some damn fine gameplay!

I own it for GC and Wii and the Wii version is more fun... and I wouldn't even consider the PS2 version once you compare how they look side by side. One extra bonus about the GC/Wii versions are that the cutscenes are rendered realtime with the games engine where as on PS2 version, they are prerendered videos and it has a fuzzy look to them.

Now don't get me wrong here peeps, I like Res evil 4 on the GC

This would be the best version out there by far, but the button layout is insane, it makes the game very annoying

But this version has absolutely all the features of the GCN version... even optional support for the GCN controller. :|?

If you're deciding which version to buy, go for the Wii version. It's got the extras of the PS2 version, with the graphics of the GCN version. :D

You are truly insane BX. I can't believe you don't like this game, as it is one of the best action games of all time. I haven't bought it on any of the platforms yet, but I'm hoping to get it soon on the Wii. I got a taste of it once (on the Gamecube) when I was at my friend's house, and I've been itching to play it ever since. It's got great intense action and crisp graphics.

It supports the GC controller? I didn't know that, shows how deeply I read the back of the box, and the instruction booklet -_-. I'll need to try that.

Oh and another thing, I like the GC version because it's fun to fool around with Action Replay :P.....yes it's ok for me to use Action Replay, I've been the game like 10 times on Pro :P (but I heard AC is coming out for the Wii soon so yeah.).

Support doesn't seem to be indicated on either the box or the manual. But yeah, all you have to do is start the game up normally, then unplug the Nunchuk from the Wiimote; The GCN controller will take over as soon as you do.

No, it's terrible. Nah just kidding. re4 Wii edition has the best controls out of all the versions though IMO it looks more like the PS2 version than the GC version. Maybe it's just me... Another ugly Wii game but man do the controls kick ass, though snipers totally suck. And I am a little disappointed that they still didn't add a hard difficulty since pro is still way too easy and now even easier.
