This ain't no Donkey Kong hacked up piece of evil thumb twisting!
Post Via amazon in Wii Games ReviewResident Evil 4
I was a huge fan of Frogger (I know...) and then Donkey Kong and Mario were my downfall. No matter what I tried I could not keep from dying, and all because of my poor thumb/eye coordination, or so I told myself. I longed for the day when someone would create a controller that was like my hand... THEN I would rule the universe. It wasn't me - it was the stupid controller! I just knew it. And then I heard about the Wii... Maybe, just maybe I could actually enjoy a game again instead of constantly trying to get past level 2 of something (and that was on a really good day!)
Well, we got one and I thought, What the heck, I love horror movies so let's see how long it takes me to die if I buy this game about zombies! So I trundled out of the store with my brand spankin' new Wii system and a shiny new copy of Resident Evil 4. When I got home I hooked up the system (surprisingly easy) and popped in my new game. As soon as the first animation started I knew this was not your mama's old Donkey Kong! Heck, this was even better looking than Myst and Riven, and that's saying something... So I prepared myself to go forth and die quickly, but wait a minute... I could actually use this thing and before I knew it I was wasting zombies along with the best of them. Sure I got killed a few times along the way, but what is a little death among pixel-based adversaries? You just learn from what you did wrong and keep at it until you're mowin' 'em down left and right. In one night I got through half the game! And I suck at these games. Or at least I used to! I see many sleepless nights in my future and even more zombies in my game-crazed dreams!
See? It wasn't me, it WAS the controller. Now if I could just go back to the 80's and let that snot-nosed little kid who used to beat me at Donkey Kong all the time know I am a force to be reckoned with, all would be right with the universe! Where is Marty McFly with his Delorian so I can take my Wii back there and beat the pants off that kid (and scare him with a few zombies, to boot!) Yay Wii, and even bigger yay Resident Evil 4.
