    Simply astounding. So good I convinced other people to go buy a copy as well (they say it's astounding too). The controls, the tension, the artificial intelligence, the bosses... I could go on all day, but suffice to say whether you played the Ps2/GC/PC versions or not you should definitely pick this up. The new control scheme alone makes it worthwhile.

    This 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!

    Best 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.

    Great game - easy enough to get into and keep moving through, but difficult enough that you don't breeze through it. More of this please!

    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.

    Quite 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!

    Perfect 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.

    An excellent game for the wii compared to what is currently available. It's just as good or better than it was when if first came out for the 'cube.

    Not 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.

    This 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!

    Splendid 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!

    Just to echo with what almost everyone has said this is a really great game on the Wii. I've never really been a fan of these types of games and I've never played any of the other RE's. After seeing the glowing reviews and the low price tag I gave it a shot. It took a few times to get the controls but now they seem natural. Great game for the Wii library.

    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.

    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.

    The best survival horror game ever. The wii controls doesnt add much to the game, but they work well, so at least they're not frustrating. The game is virtually the same as the other versions, but it features all the add-ons of the other versions, so it could be called collector's edition as well. The suspence, the way the story folds is just amazing. Play it in dark with The best survival horror game ever.

    The 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.

    Anyone 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.

    Takes 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.

    This game is great. I never played the earlier versions, so I can't compare the controls, but the Wiimote give you pinpoint aiming which makes it awesome to take apart bad guys by shooting their feet, knees, etc.. The guns are really cool, and I think the only glaring omission is not having him say "Listen up you primative screwheads.. see this? This is my BOOMSTICK!" every time you This game is great.

    Easily 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!

    I was hesitant to pick this one up at first...I have the gamecube version and I'm quite happy using my wavebird controller and in-game laser sighted weapons. But make no mistake this IS the ultimate RE4 experience. The Wii controller allows for fast precise targeting (enemies have context sensitive hit zones) and the motion sensing controls are intuitive and responsive.

The Wii controller allows for fast precise targeting (enemies have context sensitive hit zones) and the motion sensing controls are intuitive and responsive. Forget the reviews knocking the seperate aiming and camera controls. The increased aiming speed allows plenty of time to re-center the camera. This game is FUN, still looks awesome and rivals most games on the market today.… Expand

    This 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.

    I 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

    I'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.

    WOW! I love this game, totally addicted to it. Played previous versions and could never get on with the knife but on the wii its as easy as dicing chicken! Blood and gore make it even better with great monsters to fight. Also you no longer have to get tape for the typewriter so can save freely - my biggest disagreement with old versions!

    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.
