Awful, controls make no sense, game play is bland, no edge, worst game I have played.

It's the same game you played on Gamecube or PS2. They just threw down the graphics to become top-notch PS1 graphics, and low end PS2 graphics. The gameplay is okay, very hard to get used to. Controller doesn't work all that swell. Game itself is excellent, just Wii needs to learn to make some good games with decent graphics.

I played the original Resident Evil 4 on my Gamecube when I purchased it in March 2005. Resident 4 was so amazing that it made me forget to finish San Andreas and focus on playing it instead. It is now September 2007 guys. Porting a game 2 1/2 years old, throwing in Wii controls, and selling it for $30 without any change since the PS2 version came out isn't going to cut it. Even if you haven't played the game yet, it is just simply so much cheaper to buy a used copy for the PS2 or Gamecube instead of wasting $30. Peoply buying this port on the Wii and reviewers giving this game a 9 or 10 out of 10 is just going to promote more developers to take short cuts by developing junk or remakes of an old stale game made years ago instead of devoloping masterpieces like Bioshock.… Expand

Brutal controls. They are playable if you are willing to struggle learning them for 10 hrs until they are second nature, but it is not worth the effort since there are equally good shooters out there with better graphics that do not require this effort. In all fairness i think it would be an ok game if you only had a few games and were willing to put in the time on this game with more patience.

I'd mark this version as a rental - good game but rent it.
