May 27, 201310The best version of Resident Evil 4. The wii controls are really outstanding; the proof is that the game is easier than the gamecube version.
In my opinion the best resident evil to date: it has the survival horror vibe but it's never boring because it's packed with action.
If you have a Wii, you must have this game! -
May 19, 20139A great game. I recommend it to people who want a really good third person action game. Apart from Revelations, it was the last great resident evil game.

Jan 18, 201310As good as the Gamecube version but better with all modes being unlockable (Assignment Ada, Separate Ways, Mercenaries)... Also, the Wii controls make the game more fun and actually loosens the gameplay up for better control. I am not a huge fan of ports when the graphics aren't improved upon but in this case they added more content and different controls so the score stays the same for me

Dec 16, 20126Good game. It is nothing compared to the old REs, but it's still good. Nice graphics, gameplay and plot. Recommended only if you like Resident Evil very much, but you don't care about its big gameplay change.
-
Nov 26, 201210Ultimate game with ultimate controls. With an ultimate widescreen mode, with the ultimate affordable price.

Jul 8, 201210When people used to ask me what my favorite game was I would always say Zelda Ocarina of Time. Now, I have to seriously decide how I'm feeling that day whether I say this or that.
-
Jun 28, 20129This is everything the PS2 version offers, but with the visual quality of the gamecube version. The wii version is a slight improvement over the cube version on a graphic stand point. The motion controls almost make this version too easy. However, they work and are very fun.

Jan 9, 20129The game is great. It's scary and full of action. The anger that grows in the player when talking with the main villains make the game more realistic and enjoyable. Despite I not being a fan of FPS, RE4 is the best one-player FPS out there.

Sep 10, 201110Would have to be my most played game ever. It has everything that I like in a game, being that it has a good story, big range of weapons, available upgrades, heaps of sell-able items, action and re-playability! It also beats the PS2/PC versions I reckon, with a better aiming system, motion sensed aiming and extra features. Yup

May 12, 201110To me It's the Best of all the Resident Evil Games and the first to get everything right! Sure the Chainsaw Wielding Maniac is Scary but he doesn't scare me! Overall It is the Best game in the Resident Evil Genre!

tonytonyJan 22, 201010Anyone who thinks the controls are hard for the first 10 hrs is just plain bad at video games. My favorite game ever. I hope I get to play a game this good again.
-
-
BradSJan 11, 201010Very scary. When i first played this, I was extremly cautious. This game is fun, and makes you want to play until finished.

ClothFarDec 27, 20099The controls are great and the game is very good. It uses some shooter features but maintain the essence of Resident Evil. This remake it's better than the original and It's a 'must have'.
-
-
aspentitanDec 18, 20094Brutal 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.

SamJApr 13, 200910Buy it It's brilliant in every way, I was constantly crapping myself in the 20+ hours story mode, the merchant is a legend amongst shopkeepers and you get some awesome extras after you're done saving Ashley.
-
-
JimmyTMar 21, 200910Best Resident Evil game ever. I wasn't too hooked up on an RE games in the past because the gameplay was just whack and unnatural. But this was so godly, it puts the other games to shame. It's good to see that the interface has carried on to RE5, but RE5 still cannot compare to this game.

KevinJJan 12, 20099this was the 3rd game I have owned and I just love it. It took me 32 of game play to beat on normal plus when you do beat you get 3 bonus games. The storyline was different than that of other Resident Evil games but still great and scary at times. Play this game! You will love it if you like the Resident Evil series at all!

JohndJan 6, 200910Hands down the best game I've played on the Wii console yet. This is my first time playing any resident evil title and from what I understand it is the best in the series to date. I'm not even a fan of the horror genre but this is a phenomenal game, a must have!

JackF.Jul 9, 20088Makes fantastic use of the Wii controller, is lots of fun to play and has plenty of replay value. What stopped this from being a 10 is the god awful graphics. Even though it's a direct port of the GCN , one would think they could've made it look just a little better...

vickersrJul 7, 200810OMg loved this game I tried to play resident evil zero on my wii which was a gamecube cd and it sucked cause u have to use a effin game cube remote and it sucked i though re4 was the best i hope wii incoorperates all R>E in too wii form!

AlexH.Jun 29, 200810One of my favorite titles on the wii. It takes the amazing game from the gamecube, adds the extras from the PS2 and uses the Wii controls to make it even better controlled than ever. After playing it on all three consoles, this version is by far my favorite. It is extremely satisfying in game play and story. This is one title every wii owner should own.
-
-
BBSS.Apr 10, 200810The resident evil game was great. It was good single player action. After you've finished the main game you unlock extras which are really hard . This means that when you have finished the main game you dont get bored with it after. A great game and cheaper than most others.

SpecialCFeb 21, 20089I was not a fan of the RE series but gave this game a try because of the praise of it's iterations on the older consoles and the $30 price. This is the most fun I have had so far on the Wii. Highly recommended! Control is perfect. A must buy.

godwentpunkJan 25, 200810Awesome game. I've never played any of the RE series but this one game is great. Cool weapons, great story line. Game allows you to save at some key points but also does a check-point so that if you die, you don't always need to start back where you saved the game. highly recommended.
-
-
PaulT.Jan 10, 20089The only thing that would improve this game would be a multi-player element, other than that it's flawless.

SimonY.Dec 20, 200710Takes the best game from the last generation, adds LOADs of extra content, perfect controls and an improved framerate. If you played the PS2 version ther isn't much point in buying it, but if you played the GC version thjen the extra content makes up through it. If you've never played the game you need this game more than any other game ever.

JonR.Dec 13, 200710I agree with what was said in one of those reviews of the game. the Wii version is everything the Gamecube version wanted to be. controls fine-tuned to perfection, with the ps2 extras thrown in for good measure. I've owned it since day one, and every other Wii owner out there should too.....unless they're like 6 years old or something.
-
-
PaulD.Dec 11, 20079The best possible version of RE4 that one can get. It has all the bonus features of the PS2 version with the slightly sleeker GameCubes graphics. I played through Seperate Ways just so I could get the Chicago typewriter and beat the game all over again with style! It doesn't get a 10 because the game is a two year old port, but a damn good one nonetheless.

KarlP.Oct 20, 200710One of the best games I've ever played! Wii controls are great and its well worth $30.

MikeG.Oct 5, 200710Perfect in every way, had the game on ps2 and i cant put it down now, wish they'd remake more resident evil games with wii control and re4 camera.
-
-
ThomasL.Oct 4, 200710Quite simply this is the best game Ive played EVER!. Forget about Zelda. If its such a good game why did I get so frustrated with it and get stuck on the fishing part. As soon as I finished RES EV4 I went back to proffessional level and did it all over again! Quite simply the best 23 hours of game play in my life!
-
-
LittleJimmyP.Oct 4, 200710This is the best game ever! Are there any others out there like it? Every other game I try is horrible compared to RE4. I hope the next version is just as good.
-
-
CarmanT.Oct 3, 20079It is very the same as in the versions of GC, PS2, and PC but the Wii version just got better because it took with the Wii-mote content like knife mode or maybe just shake off your player to get free. It will concern to be as the same but still a great Wii-make game of RE fans
-
-
DakotaG.Sep 23, 20079This is the best game that i have ever played. I havent played it on gamecube but i imagine wii version is way better because of the wii remote. the graphics are awesome and the controles are easy to learn. ive beat it 3 times and am still having a blast.

FrankC.Sep 1, 200710Honestly, this game deserve something more like 9.8, but 10 is closer to that than 9 so I chose 10. It deserves this in MY opinion as it has more replay value than any game out today. New controls just make it that much better.

RyanH.Aug 28, 200710Great game, better than the PS2 and GameCube versions. The controls remove the frustration with the controller in the other two versions, and only take a little while to get used to. The full 480p widescreen looks spectacular for a Wii game.

ScottW.nAug 19, 200710One of the best games ever. It will never get old or boring for as long as you have it. If you have the other versions buy this one anyway because of the wii controler. It realy helps in the expereance.

IanG.Aug 9, 200710The version rolled out for the Wii platform is simply how it was meant to be, the controls are slick and accurate. the game is very intense and when i eventually completed it i simply and instantly started it all over again, one of the best games i have ever played.

MiltonM.Aug 7, 20079This is the first Re game that I have played and it was sweet the controls are almost flawles , the graphics are some of the best in the Wii , the character voice overs are great , this game is the second best game for Wii ...for now. I give it a solid -9.5.
-
-
AndyAug 6, 200710Best game yet I've purchased for the Wii. The controls are flawless; it's never been so much fun to aim and shoot - just like playing at an arcade. I never played the first version so everything is new to me, the small nuances like merchants and multiple weapons make this game incredibly addictive.
-
-
MikaR.Aug 2, 200710This game is as enjoyable on Wii as it was on Gamecube - and it is even more better in many aspects. The controls are just perfect. For a moment I considered Wii a bad purchase, but this game changed all that. Thank you Capcom, thank you Nintendo!

AaronJul 26, 20079This game is great. I'm having a blast. The only things lacking aremoving while you shoot and sliding sideways. If these were added it would be perfect!

JamesT.Jul 23, 200710Not usual drawn into the purchase of shoot 'em ups i was amazed at how much fun this game was, controls are perfect in my opinion, and the difficulty curve throghout the game is great for challenging gameplay. Completed once, and now am thoroughly enjoying my second round, this ones keeping all of my other wii purchases in the shade.

GeorgeY.Jul 18, 20078My first system in over 10 years. My third Wii game purchase, and a great one. Haven't finished it yet but so far, I'm enjoying it.

RyencokeJul 12, 20073It'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.
-
-
RickH.Jul 8, 200710Splendid game, excellent adventure and gore on the Wii. The controls are good, a little tricky to pick up at first, but soon become 2nd nature. A bargain price in most outlets too, so I would recommend highly!
-
-
SYCJul 6, 200710This new Wii version is the DEFINITIVE version of one of the best games ever created. With all the best features and additions from both of the previous versions of RE4 plus the excellent new control scheme, this game is definately worth revisitng without hesitation. If you've never played before, then I reccommend you head down to the store and buy it immediately!
-
-
A.M.Jul 5, 200710So far, this is the best wii game to come out, and it may actually be the best game I have ever played!
-
-
P.M.Jul 4, 20079The game is pretty solid and well worth the cost. Its one of maybe 3 wii games that are must haves. Im not sure if you should buy it if you've already played it on another system but if your bored with the lack of good wii games out now its definately worth a buy. They incorporate the wii remote in a few cool ways like using the knife but i would have liked to see it used more.

JosephW.Jun 28, 200710I've played this game through on the cube, ps2, and now the wii and even thought the game is basicaly the exact same ps2 game without the load times. The improved controlls make it better than its ever been.

MikeB.Jun 26, 200710I have never played the GameCube version but I decide to pick this up. It is incredible I tried playing with both the GameCube and Wii controls (you can use either in this version) and the WiiMote defiantly improve game play. The lack of strafing make the controls a little awkward but it doesn

KevinC.Jun 25, 200710This is a GREAT game. Even though it is just a port of a several year old game, and it doesn't exactly push the system, this game is one of the best to be released for the Wii yet. The plot is well written and really brings you into the game. My only complaint is that the Wii's control scheme could have been used a lot better.

KenH.Jun 24, 200710Easily the best version of RE4. I've played and beat RE4 on the Gamecube and the PS2, but this version destroys them both! The Wii-Remote is absolutely PERFECT for this game. If you've never played RE4 (or even if you have!) PICK THIS GAME UP! Seriously a steal at $29!
-
-
JamesC.Jun 22, 200710What's with critics saying stuff about the lack of strafing and moving and shooting at the same time? This is a RE game. You know, a horror survival game. And it excels in the important categories of gameplay, replay value, graphics, sound, story, and, price. A near perfect game that Deserves a purchase, even if you own the GC version.
-
-
HunterG.Jun 21, 200710An awsome game made better, I can not put it down and I typically can nver play a story based game more than once.

Though they suffer a bit when things get hectic, the Wii-mote-enabled controls generally serve RE4 well: Aiming weapons, swiping your knife, and shaking off face-sucking nasties with real-world moves adds urgency to an already incredibly intense experience. [July 2007, p.82]
-
It has the looks, it has the compelling level design, and it has the scary bits. Check, then: this is Resident Evil 4 all over again, but slightly better.
-
The most intense gaming experience on the Wii...It will consume you. [July 2007, p.80]
