    Una auténtica obra maestra, jugabilidad, historia extras etc. Además de ser el primer videojuego en la historia en contar con la cámara sobre el hombro, la acción perfecta además de contar con una banda sonora mítica.

    The best version of Resident Evil 4. Takes everything the Ps2 and Gamecube versions did and makes it better. Ashley sections are still annoying though.

    Resident Evil 4 is pretty much as good as gaming gets. It is the pinnacle of action-horror. It was an absolute revolution for 3rd person shooters, action games and gaming in general. The Wii version made it even more fun.

    The gameplay is near perfect. The controls are excellent because the whole game is designed around them. The over the shoulder camera keeps the action at the perfect distance. The weapons using laser sights and having so much punch to them. Fast, accurate aiming with just enough weapon sway, inaccuracy and enemy threat to keep you on your toes and trying to hit your shots. The way enemies consistently react to getting shot and the incredibly satisfying headshots. Following up with a kick or suplex. The game just constantly rewards you for playing well. Taking on enemies with just a knife whether it's for fun or to save ammo or to slash projectiles out the air. Watching enemies fall off edges after being shot. Pushing the ladders while enemies try to climb it. Shooting through doors. kicking doors open to damage enemies on the other side. Getting enemies to group together and throwing an incendiary grenade into them. Leaping out windows. The set pieces and bosses. Crowd control. Repositioning when needed and not knowing exactly what's behind you while doing so. Using the environment to your advantage. Getting your head taken off in one horrific hit. The enemy variety. The weapon variety. They somehow made you not hate escorting another character. The list goes on and on and god damn it's all so good. The pacing is so well done as well with the game constantly throwing cool new things at you but also knowing when to slow things down a bit. The developers didn't even stop after creating a brilliant, lengthy, highly re-playable main story, they went and did more. The Mercenaries mode is really addictive. Then there's Separate Ways and unlockables too.

    The story, characters, dialogue and cut scenes are ridiculously entertaining and well directed. It's so goofy and fun. God damn it's all so fun, remember FUN? It's like the only questions asked when making this game were - Is it fun? Is it entertaining? Does it play well? Does it fit in? If yes, then put it in the game. It's like they had no fear of risks and were just totally confident in what they were making, which is surprising if you know the story of this games development. The tone and atmosphere is handled perfectly. Seriously how did they do this? The game can be silly and/or over the top one minute and then have no problem being more serious the next. It also can be genuinely creepy at times, or surreal or bleak. It definitely delivers on the body horror and gore too.

    The game looks and sounds top notch as well. It was one of the best looking games available when it came out. The art direction is fantastic. The village is cold, bleak, isolated and hostile with something gruesome around every turn. The castle is surreal, sinister and uncomfortable. It's so opulent and ornate but something is very off about it and there are traps everywhere. It kind of reminds me of the mansion from the RE 1 remake. The Island is grimy, dirty and industrial and does have some great creepy sections but it's visually more generic and forgettable unfortunately. They nailed the character and enemy designs too. The voice acting is exactly what was needed. The enemies sound harsh and scary. The guns hit hard and all the gross noises are spot on. The soundtrack is superb and so are the ambient sounds.

    However no game is perfect and Resident Evil 4 is no exception. The worst thing about this game is that it wasn't survival horror and it put an end to Resident Evil being a survival horror franchise as they went down the action-horror path from here on wards. The puzzles are also not the best but I guess really good puzzles would have bogged down this games action focus and pace. The Island is also not as good as the first two locations. I think this is mostly due to the first two areas setting such a high bar, the industrial setting feeling more generic and maybe being a little too action heavy at times. Looking back at the game now I think it did overuse the quick time events as well. As cool and well done as they are it gets a bit much, especially when your on like the 20th play through.

    If you have never played it before do yourself a favour and play it now. I highly, highly recommend Resident Evil 4. I still remember buying my collector's edition just after launch, which is still on my shelf, and playing it all day. Then I bought the Wii version and played it to death again. Then the PS3 and then the PS4. I think I am going to be playing this once every five years or so until I die. Some people try to dismiss this game's high praise with statements like "It's just nostalgia" or "You just think old good, new bad." But they are wrong, Resident Evil 4 really is just that good. This is what lightning in a bottle looks like.

    Although I haven't played what is to be considered the best version of this game, the Game Cube version, I still was able to enjoy this game for the first time on the WII.

Now don't get me wrong, this game isn't perfect, but it is by no means at all bad. I will say that since I grew up with this game on the WII, I might be a little subjective when it comes to how good this version of the game truly is. This port to the game, was one of the most important ports of this game. In fact, this is the only version of the game that is set in 480p. I know this may sound bad, however, this games models can look pretty weird at a high resolution. So, in my opinion of course, I think that 480p is the perfect resolution for this game. When thinking after the resolution, there is still plenty of things that make this port amazing. For example, the quick time events weren't just the same old press a button. Instead, the people who made the port took time to implement motion controls. When it does come to the WII, I will say that the motion controls can be very hit or miss. However, I'm very happy to say, that the motion controls for the quick time events work very well. Now that I'm finished talking about the amazing things, like I said I could go on almost forever, there are some very opinion-based things that I personally love. For example, I actually prefer the motion control aim that's in the game. What's cool is that if you don't, you could even hook up a Game Cube controller to play it. The only bad thing I can say about this port, is I don't think that the cut-scenes were remade. Other than that, this port is an extremely fun experience of one my favorite games of all time.… Expand

Not even the PC version with a mouse can match it, and really it is baffling how good this game feels for a control system it wasn't designed for. The motion controls make this version so fun to play and come back to, and the controls feel crisp and tight with the gameplay.

    I like RE 4 (the Wii version), despite its great change in the gameplay, this game still has balance between action and horror, puzzles and backtracking, doesn't lose the essence of the saga completely. The plot is too cliche and ends up being forgettable, despite having good moments and a couple of interesting characters.

There weren't many long drawn out cut scenes and having 4 parts to each level meant you can see your progress easily and for a casual gamer like me was great. The camera angles take a bit of getting used to but they don't detract from an otherwise superb game. I'll definitely play again on a "harder" mode. 10/10. It's a must have title.… Expand

    Now let's talk more precisely about this Wii version, the controls works just fine (I wouldn't say they are better, it all depends on your gaming habits, but the game was originally design for classic controller and you'll not suffer at all by playing it on another system), the graphics didn't improved from the original release and that's a bit of a shame (the HD versions exist by now so if you're looking for better graphics don't pick the Wii version), but the most important thing on Wii is to do the controls right and they succeeded it, so good port.
    Finally the two minors negative points : the story is poorly written ( with all those bad jokes make by Leon) and should have been more stressful and engaging. And looking back at time now that we are in 2015, it is the first step to the end of Resident Evil, for the 5 and 6 they just added more and more action , to take away all the fear (there is some in the 4 but way less than the first ones).

    As 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.

    Resident Evil 4 (no matter what console you play on) is a fantastic game. Graphics were pretty good and it was a very fun game. Mercenaries gave me incentive to beat everything and five star everything and the story was a fun ride.

The Wii version is a great way to control the action, because aiming the Wii remote to someone's head never felt so good.

I say it adds to the tension so that you don't have your sights aimed at all times so you can fire a few shots and get out before the enemies get to you. I still find this game better than RE5 or RE6. Fantastic on whatever platform of choice.… Expand

    This 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.

    The 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.

    I don't care what anyone says - I love this game. I understand it's not like the other Resident Evil games, but you have to take it for what it is and not what you expected it to be. The weapons are all interesting and varied, and even the weapons that become outclassed in the short run are arguably superior in the long run once you unlock the weapon's "exclusive" ability.

    Would 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

    Movement is slow and clunky, and character is unable to strafe. Boat sections in particular are very frustrating to try navigating. Much of the game is an annoying escort mission.

With the bad out of the way, the boss fights are very impressive, unique, and fun. Being able to "combine" items in inventory usually means you need to use moon logic or click every single item on another - but RE:4 handles it very well. Enemies are well-varied and surprising. Puzzles are challenging enough to be enjoyable but not too much to become frustrating. Balance and pacing are solid -- unlike many in its genre, it does not draw out gameplay by making you walk around aimlessly for 30m+. Devs create tension very successfully though the game cannot touch the ankles of games like those by Frictional in creating an atmosphere of dread. Still, the game is a fun shooter with plenty of gameplay variety, very worthy of a play.… 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.

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!

    This 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.

    It 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

    This 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.

    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

    Honestly, 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.

    Usually, stuff like "definitive version" or "ultimate edition" are often just marketing gimmick that are meant to catch people into buying crappy product. In this case, it goes way past and beyond that. Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition is more than just a definitive ultimate version. It simply feels like the game was meant to be on the Wii.

I've own both the GameCube and PS2 version and no matter how much I loved it, I never finished it. I felt like the shooting was too slow and often frustrating. The Wii version came and solved that with success. Along with "Twilight Princess" and "Prime Corruption", RE4 is an absolute most buy.… Expand

    Great 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.

    Let me ask you this. If an intruder comes into your house and attacks you, would you shoot him with a gun, or would you shoot him with a gun you control using an analog stick? I would choose the former if I wanted to live. Once you've played a shooter with the Wiimote, there's no going back. Too bad you have to return to the analog stick to play the next-gen FPS like Bioshock, Let me ask you this.

    One 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.

    The best of the ports. The framerate is constantly at 30FPS, ensuring smooth gameplay all throughout the game, and the aiming is incredibly stable and easy to pick up and play. All thegoodies from the other ports are here, and this has the best graphic detail when compared to the PC/PS2 versions. If you have a GameCube controller, you can plug it in and enjoy RE4 like on the GameCube, but The best of the ports.

    Incredible game. I quit playing RE after... well pretty much after the first one. I found the ensuing seqels could never be as ground breaking as the first. However, this is certainly groundbreaking. I would say it is the best usage of the wii controller yet. The graphics are impressive too for a system that is not sold for graphic superiority.

    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.
