Product Description
In Resident Evil 4 you'll know a new type of horror, as the classic survival-horror action returns with all-new characters, controls and storylines. We last saw Leon S. Kennedy in Resident Evil 2 - a rookie cop in Raccoon City, fighting to stay alive. That was six years ago. Since then, government forces have managed to control the zombie threat and Leon has become a Federal agent. When the President's daughter is kidnapped, Leon tracks her to a remote, hidden fortress in Europe - where he'll relive the horror he faced six years before. Players will face never-before-seen enemies that make Nemesis seem like a kitten. You'll be wishing for the usual Resident Evil zombies!

 Best game for the Wii September 7, 2008
This is far and away the best game I have played on the Wii. It is very fun and very addicting. Once you complete the main game it insidiously gives you bonus games. The bonus games are also great. It is the only video game I have played to completion several times. I have been looking for a game similar to this on the Wii and I have not found any near as good.
Keeps you wanting more September 2, 2008
I bought this game over a month ago and haven't looked at it until the last couple of weeks. At first I did not like the game, but after I started to get the controls down and understand what I was doing this game was awesome. RE4 is very interesting and the wiimote add some fun to the experience. Graphics aren't great, but hey, it's a Wii.
The story is intriguing and keeps you wanting more. I love all the items you can use, buy and upgrade. My favorite weapon is the old fashioned sniper rifle. The sound it makes when you reload and shoot on the wiimote is salivating.
I am only on chapter 5-2, but this is definitely one of the best games I have ever played. I have never played any of the other Resident Evil games, but after playing this one, I think I might go back and try them.
 This game is worth playing through a second time August 31, 2008
This game is very fun and pretty scary. I am a fan of the survival horror genre and RE4 is an instant classic.
On the Wii, aiming and interactive cut scenes are best played with the Wiimote and Nunchuck because aiming and shooting is a lot easier and more fun.
If you were looking for mind blowing graphics you wouldn't own a Wii in the first place, but you should be warned that this game is almost a direct port from the gamecube version so the graphics are not the best out there.
I reccomend switching off playing this game with a friend so you don't get too scared and of course at night time when it's good and dark.
 Not Up To Expectations August 8, 2008

I have been playing PC games for some time and have my favorites due mostly to their ease of use and the simplicity of the controls. Half Life and F.E.A.R. are great examples of what I like. This game falls far short in the ease of use and the sophistication categories. While the Wii control system is kind of neat, it also is clumsy and problematical. Not much fun this. High frustration level.
Great game! August 8, 2008
If you don't own this game yet, go out and buy it. For 30 dollars, it is pretty cheap for a game this good with this much content.
I bought RE4 recently, because I saw it a while ago at my cousin's place, and I loved it. The plot is kinda B-movie, because the objective of the game (KIND OF SPOILER) is to rescue the president's daughter, but you soon get wrapped up in something far more sinister. The enemies are not zombies, but they are spanish villagers that are infected with (ALSO KIND OF SPOILER) a mind controlling parasite called "Las Plagas".
Plot aside, The gameplay is great. the camera is 3rd person, and it moves to over-the-shoulder when you hit B and draw your gun. This works well, but I wish that you had the ability to move while shooting, because all too often I was killed by an enemy I was running away from, to gain distance to shoot at.
The weapons work great, there are pistols, shotguns, magnums, rifles, and a couple other weapons such as the TMP which is a machine pistol, and the mine thrower which shoots darts that explode after a certain period of time. You can upgrade any and all of those weapons, in 4 different categories (several weapons you cannot upgrade the fire speed, i.e. the TMP) firepower, fire speed, reload speed, and capacity.
After you upgraded the weapon all the way in all the categories, then you can buy the "exclusive" upgrade for the gun, which is pretty neat. For the Striker shotgun, it increases the clip size to a massive 100! For other weapons, it may increase the firepower significantly or add other goodies, such as the standard 9mm handgun, which will have 5X the chance of getting a critical 1 hit kill headshot, but believe me, its not as great as it sounds. There are maybe a dozen weapons or so in all, excluding the unlockable ones.
All of those goodies are bought using the in-game economy, where you pick up money "pesetas" from downed enemies, or pick up jewels (you can also shoot them down, look around! they hide in tricky places! They're shiny!) that you sell to the merchant. He, in turn, sells you weapons and upgrades them.
The Wii controls felt natural and great, B button draws weapon, A shoots, - brings up weapon recovery screen, + toggles "wait" and "follow" for Ashley, Z and analog stick makes you run, Z and down on the analog stick turns you around, swinging the Wiimote or hitting C and then swinging the Wiimote or pressing A will use your knife, annnnnnnnnnd thats enough. Those are the basic controls you will use.
In all, Resident evil 4 is a great game, it it probably the most fun out of all of the RE4 ports. Don't miss out on this gem.
