Resident Evil 4

A very great game I would recommend anyone to get this game. One of the best games you can play on wii if not the best I have played. You can't go wrong with this game

I just grabbed this for rental in a video store, having never played Resident Evil before. I had also never played a shooter on my new Wii. Wow, what a great find. Now I worry I've been spoiled!

The graphics are top-notch. Lots of depth, no NPCs suddenly appearing in the distance. The running and action animations are very smooth. The sound is great, both the music and the sound cues around you. The plot is a little convoluted, and some of the voice acting and cut-scene animations are unintentionally funny (characters surrounded by dismembered mutant/zombies who have been injected with alien eggs talk in normal voices like they are sitting at Starbucks having a coffee). But who cares, right? The point is to blast your way through any obstacle to accomplish your goal!

I loved the way the Wii controls mesh with this game. Sure, there are a couple of spots where the designers screw with you, launching an ambush that gives you one second to shake the remote or press A & B, and then you die. But they have the good manners to only do that right after an automatic save point (going through a door), so you just reload and position your hands correctly. Otherwise, I love the intuitive way you aim the guns. Where you hit the targets has a big effect. After a while, you WANT to hit targets in the legs, not the chest or head, but I won't ruin the surprise with why. Other times, you want to hit them in the arm so they spin and fall off a wall or whatever. The sniper rifle really bobs and weaves when you are trying to aim - annoying, but realistic. And if that doesn't give you a bit of an adrenaline boost when you are trying to kill an Iron Maiden in a tight hallway, nothing will!

The variety of weapons and their upgrades leads to a nice bit of choosing how you want to play the game; you want be able to have everything and upgrade everything. There are lots of little extras that require some exploration, but aren't needed. A few puzzles, pretty simple after a few minutes. More puzzling is how to deal with certain creatures, because they are trying to kill you while you experiment!

Finishing the game in Normal mode leads to unlocking a whole bunch of extras. The most interesting was Ada's missions, which I am not sure were in the non-Wii versions. It's like replaying the main game, but from a different person's point of view who was in the shadows. Neat concept. There are some extra missions, dealing with various villains, and you can unlock some extra weapons with shooting galleries which are challenging to say the least (for shotgun or sniper rifle).

Finally, this is an adult game, all the way. Lots of blood, gore, dismemberment, slimy mutant animals, aliens, cruelty, etc. No nudity or sex, alas! But this will definitely give a few weeks or more of heart-pounding fun!

Wow! My Fiancee can't stop playing this game. Graphics are great, game is ADDICTING, truly a terrifying and awesome experience. Only gripe is that you can accidentally shoot Ashley (the person you are trying to save) and that it's just a one player game. I would say this is much more difficult than the Umbrella Chronicles (2 player co-op) which he and I have enjoyed playing together. Not for the squeamish or faint of heart. Great, challenging game that will keep you busy for awhile!!!!

One of the best games I've ever played. The storyline and the controls for this game are great. Very enjoyable to play. I would recommend to anyone who can take violence in a video game.

This is the most fun I have ever had playing a video game. The graphics are fantastically detailed--genius. The zombies and various "monsters" give you a heart pounding thrill. Good story line too. I found the controls very easy to master.
I have played through this game a couple of times already. The second time around was just as exciting at the first time (although easier because you get to keep your weapons.) I am playing on the "pro" level now which is only slightly more difficult in spots.
RE4 is not only a masterfully brilliant FPS, but tons of fun to play.
