Awful
By RevDodge (4 reviews) from Pompey , 08 Feb 2008[Highly rated reviewer]
Cumbersome controls ruin what could have been a decent game. The wiimote is woefully underused, it's only function being targetting. Honestly, you can't even point at items in the inventory screen but have to navigate using the control stick, which is soo frustrating.
In-game, the fact the control stick is used for both character movement and camera movement when aiming your gun means you can't move and shoot at the same time, so in every fight you just end up rooted to the spot, plugging away at slowly shuffling zombies until they eventually die, which is really quite boring. And woe betide you if a zombie should somehow make it behind you, as it takes a good few seconds to turn around, by which time you're already dead.
And another thing. Maybe I've just been spoiled playing too many realistic war games, but when I shoot something in the face from a foot away I expect it to die, not groan briefly in pain then hit me with a pitchfork. This applies to both humans and zombies in the game and sort of ruins the whole experience. Instead of being scary, enemies are simply tiresome.
All of which, unfortunately, makes for a very dull and frustrating experience. Bottom line - games should be fun. This game is a chore.- Was this review helpful to you?

By Dbuzzy (13 reviews) , 24 Jun 2011Didn't like this at all, i found it hard to use th control system & all there seemed to do was shoot everything & no plot story I only played for a short time so maybe it improved later in th game & th graphics were brilliant, but not a game for me- Was this review helpful to you?

Excellent game for beginners or pros
By a customer , 15 Jun 2011Superb game that takes off right from the start. Shooting with the standard Wii remote is easy and intuative making the controls easy to master even for the occasional gamer. It is fun, hard without being difficult and guarenteed to scare you.- Was this review helpful to you?

Best game ever
By a customer , 09 Jun 2011Superb horror action. Not for the children though. The Wii controls are fun to use once you get used to them. Loads of extras make this a game you'll be playing for weeks.- Was this review helpful to you?

RESIDENT EVIL 4 Wii Edition
By infamous (6 reviews) from London , 04 Nov 2010[Highly rated reviewer]
Justa quick review to clear a few things up for the people who have already reviewed this classic of a game. For the people that said they hated it I know why you said that - and there is a solution - DO NOT PLAY WITH THE WII REMOTE. get yourself a gamecube wavebird controller (wireless) or just use a wired gamecube controller and the game plays EXACTLY how it did on the gamecube, and I tell you all now it is FAULTLESS. I have played this game on GC, PS2 and now the Wii, and this version is the pinnacle of all versions cuz it has all the content the PS2 had but the sound and graphics are how they were on the gamecube, which are fantastic considering how long ago this game was made (PS2 version was watered down badly in the audio and graphic dept) without doubt the GREATEST game I've ever played and i've been a gamer since 1984. play with the controller and give it another try u wont regret it- Was this review helpful to you?
