    The reason that the Wii version is the best is because the new control system makes the gameplay more enjoyable. Using both the Wii remote and the nunchuck, players will be able to perform all of the regular moves and attacks from before, only now they can do them in a more sensitive, accurate and pleasing fashion.

    As improved as the Resident Evil 4 controls were compared to the tank-like schemes of its predecessors, they still aren’t ideal. The final version of the game would have been the perfect time for Capcom to polish the controls with new features that nearly every game now takes for granted – like strafing and being able to shoot your gun while moving. Unfortunately, Leon still isn’t capable of performing these basic moves.

    Resident Evil 4 on the Wii has taken everything that was great about the Gamecube and PS2 versions and tweaked it just enough to enthrall even vetran players all over again.

    If you played the GameCube original, consider the Wii game the ultimate collector's edition – frankly, that's what it is; the culmination of the best from its predecessors with some added Wii improvements. And if you have never played RE4 before, consider the Wii release an absolute must-own experience.

    Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition is one of the best games available for the Wii. Period.

    It's just a shame that one of the best ever action games has become another casualty of the Wii controller. Indeed, for a controller that was supposed to herald a new dawn of inclusive gaming there are a lot of third-party publishers who have yet to get their heads round it.

Originally one of the best games ever, Resident Evil 4 can also add on of the best Wii games to its trophy cabinet.… Expand

    Very scary. When i first played this, I was extremly cautious. This game is fun, and makes you want to play until finished.

I love its pacing, gameplay, characters, settings and even its really dumb plot. Is it perfect probably not but for me it might as well be. I think the fact that this game that was built for the GameCube can implement motion controls and still be a ton of fun is amazing. Like seriously I don't like motion controls very much they almost always seem gimiky but RE4 manages to have a pretty good control scheme on the WII. Some people even prefer it personally I just see it as more so an alternative than a replacement for a regular control scheme. But no matter what platform you play on you can expect a fantastic game with an engaging campaign with good replay value and extra modes and side campaigns to keep you busy with the game. Except the mobile version maybe don't play that one.… Expand
