 Spanish tourism never looked so bleak July 19, 2007

Having not played a Resident Evil since the very first one (didn't enjoy it), and spending the last ten years using a mouse and keyboard combination for all sorts of games, I had mixed feelings about this game from the start. A friend of mine had shown me the Gamecube version to which I was non-plussed.
Quite frankly after 15mins of playing it, I realised I was too scared to move around the village after dying several times. I was actually rooted to the spot in fear, unable to go on unless one of the shambling spaniards saw me. From that moment I was hooked.
What follows is a masterpiece of game design, minutes where nothing much happens followed by seconds of intense waving the remote around in panic make this a tense and film like experience.
In addition the 'Dungeon Lair'-esque requirements to waggle the remote or press A+B simultaneously could have felt bolted on, but, the knife fight (i won't spoilt it for you) showed just how brilliantly this could be done. I found myself poised ready as if in a real knife fight, barely listening to the characters talking, but just watching for the next lightnening fast attack I would have to defend against.
The controls are spot on, and for those who can't use a joypad to play an FPS (like me) the wii mote targetting is pitch perfect. The nunchuk being used to control the characters movements.
Finally coupled with some fairly tough bosses, and unlockable modes (2 additional story modes and the pick and play mercenaries mode) make this well worth the money.
Just a shame that the best game on the Wii is a two year old gamecube game.
Thoroughly recommended by me.

Resident Evil 4 is without a doubt one of the best action games ever. Released already on the Gamecube, PS2 and PC, RE4 is now on the Wii with new, more interactive controls.
The setting of RE4 is completely new from previous Resident Evil games - Leon Kennedy has been sent to Europe to rescue the president's kidnapped daughter, taking the setting away from Racoon City and the game replaces zombies with crazy villagers, who will attack you (sometimes at quite a speed) with all sorts of weapons. The action is now over-the-shoulder as opposed the old style fixed camera view. It is all at a much faster pace too now, with a more arcade-like feel to it, which does work for the better. Also on the Wii version are the Ada missions which were only previously on the PS2 version, adding a little more action once you have finished the main game.
This edition is a great package, taking full advantage of the Wii's innovative control methods and adding it to a game which can be played through over and over again. I have already finished this on the Gamecube a few years back but couldn't resist getting this again at a budget price as it is a game I knew I would enjoy as much now as I did the first time I played it. A recommended buy for anybody.
The best game ever made better!

I thought this was the best game i'd played on my gamecube. I'd set it up on my 32" TV and happily played away on it being pleased with the whole experience from the visuals to the level of gameplay it offered. I'll admit it took me a while to complete as i'm not a 'play until i've finished' gamer. I like to take my time with games, giving way to maybe a couple of hours of play to look forward to each evening. I finished the game and felt totally satisfied with my results and that was that.
Since then I've invested in a 42" HD plasma TV, Dolby Digital 5.1 amp and of course a Wii console correctly set up to it all. If I thought the experience on Gamecube was satisfying then how wrong could i be? I purchased Resident Evil 4 thinking it would be (maybe) a wasted 25.
So far this is the best gaming experience i've had to date. The graphics are stunning and as for the sound... try playing it in the dark and hearing distant locals and chainsaw bearing maniacs coming closer and closer toward you. This game comes fully recommended without any doubts as to whether it's wasted money if you already own the Gamecube version. Buy it. You won't be disappointed! Oh and i've played the game through in less than 2 days! Here's to many more Wii games that can deliver on the level this one has.
Best Game I've Ever Played! September 28, 2007

Just to reiterate what the majority of reviewers have said - this game is simply superb. I'm one of these people who rarely completes games - I either get stuck or it takes so long I just stop playing. This was my 'summer holiday' game (being a teacher) and it got played probably 4 nights out of seven per week for 6 weeks.
The best bits are:
- the atmosphere of the game - the monks chanting scare the hell out of me and when that music starts when the ganada are about your heart races like mad.
- the way that upgrading your heath can take place any time you mix herbs and use them and maximum health is perfectly achievable by anyone playing
the game
- the weapons and their upgrades
- there is plenty of ammo scattered about despite what some reviewers have said (I actually ran out of ammo completely twice in the game but was able to use my knife until I could replenish my supplies)
- when you die you don't get returned to save points but to a place very close to where you died.
- the control system 'feels' perfect. It's very easy to use.
- the amount of shots needed to kill enemies is realistic
- the amount of options to replay once game is completed
negatives
- only one: the battle to kill Salazar was IMO very hard but the final boss fight with Sadler was won when I was seriously low on ammo and on my first attempt.
All in all the game took me 23 and a half hours and 92 saves! Fantastic!
