Sometimes it's good to know what you're getting...
Post Via amazon in Wii Games ReviewResident Evil 4
Same fantastic RE4, intriguing control scheme. As someone who owned and beat RE4 on my 'Cube, I feel I can give an informed assessment of the new Wii incarnation after only 3 hours of play.
Let's face it...this game was breathtaking at the time. It's still pretty darn good! I'd rank it in the top 5 games on the market, regardless of platform.
This control scheme is fantastic, but at the same time gives me mixed feelings. The improved reaction time you have with the Wii-mote (as opposed to the analog joystick) makes the game MUCH easier than it was on the other systems. While this removes some of the sense of accomplishment, it also tells me that the Wii is capable of some crazy, intense action in the near future! (and the kind of action that will be tough to match with conventional controls)
Pros:
*It's RE4...'nuff said
*Incredibly intuitive control scheme...I could swear this game was originally developed specifically for the Wii (even though it wasn't)
*Saw it in the store running in 480 Progressive scan...definitely a plus if you can utilize this.
Cons:
*Still doesn't push the Wii's graphical capabilities (I realize it's less than the other systems, but that still doesn't mean it's bad)
*Motion-sensitive scenes (i.e. running from the boulder) could have been better if they used more than one unit's motion-sensitivity (could you imagine using both hands to simulate running during the same scene?)
*Same frustrating lack of firepower at the beginning of the game. How many times can you shoot someone in the head before they stop coming at you? Luckily, you can remedy this rather quickly.
Look at the pros, then look at the cons...You're getting a great game that was improved from it's original breathtaking format (RE4 is the first game since I was a kid where I had to take a break to settle down and get my pulse/perspiration back to normal) and best of all, you're getting it for a discounted price.
While this won't make fans out of the people that didn't like the original RE4, it's definitely an improvement to an already-great game. If you've never played RE4, you're in for a treat. If you like the version you have, you'll like this one even more.
I recommend it.
