MasterDarkJedi1 reviewed Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition for the Wii...

...and gave it a 9.1!

About everyone who owns a gamecube or PS2 has played Resident Evil 4 by now. So the game is now on the Wii and bet most of the people that have bought this game already have it for a different system. I didn't think this verison will bring many new people to the world of Resident Evil. Resident Evil 4 for Wii isn't much different then the other verison except for the Wii controls. Plus you could game already could play on the Wii with the Gamecube version, but if don't PS2 the Wii verison has Ada's Separate Ways. Which is some value for Gamcube owners.
GRAPHICS
Now on to the game itself. The graphics look great but, its two years too late. The game's graphic is being overshadowed by Gears of War, Rainbow Six Vegas and others, but its one of the best looking of Wii still.
Meaning if a two year old game looks better than current Wii games, Nintendo has to step up its game. SOUND AND VALUE
The sound is still great and holds up very well for a two year old game. The game has a lot of value with around 15-20 hours in the main story and then have all the extra side missions with Ada. Also there is a PRO mode and replaying the story with new weapons and all your items from your last game. So you easily could clock in a 100 hours. Plus the game is only 30 bucks. That is cheap and its like only game besides Zelda and Red Steel that isn't a bunch of mini-games.
GAMEPLAY
Ok, I save the gameplay for last. The controls of Wii are fun, but there some problems. The laser has been replace with a target reticle which turns red when lock on to an enemy and its is also on screen. Also you can't scroll without using your nunchuck. Also the difficulty has been turn down a bit. Making it the easiest verison of the RE4. Now on to the good side. It is fun swing the Wii Remote to use Leon's knife. Also waving the remote to run away from huge rocks or to dodge attacks. I think they could have used more of the Wii features to make it better and by adding Wii only contact, but still is a great game and a must buy at $30 dollars. It has some problems, but that is a lot more good than bad and the problems are not that big. So go buy it.
