A great addition to the Wii!
Post Via amazon in Wii Games ReviewResident Evil 4
When I bought my Wii a few months ago and I did some research on games, I was ecstatic that Resident Evil 4 would be released in just a few months. So, of course, when the game came out, I had to buy it right away. I knew this game was going to be fun but I didn't expect it to be THIS great.
I've actually never played any Resident Evil games so if you're looking for a comparison between games, I'm not the right person to ask. However, I've had this game for a few days and I've played for 4 or 5 hours each day because of how entertaining it is.
So what's to like about this game? For those who haven't played any Resident Evil games, this review is for you. First of all, the graphics. Everything looks so realistic and even the smallest details have clearly been worked hard on. The zombies are incredibly creepy in their own way (some carry pitchforks, some carry chainsaws, even the old ladies get in on the action with their knives). Second, the storyline. I love games that have storylines because they give you an understanding as to why certain things in the game are happening and it gets me even more involved in the game. The storyline in this particular game is rather interesting and every now and then the game will go into what I call story mode where the storyline is updated. You will also find notes hidden around the game regarding the storyline. Third, the weapons. You can go to a merchant periodically throughout the game to buy a ton of different guns and accessories (including a handgun, rifle, shotgun, grenades, and a blacktail). Furthermore, unlike a lot of shooting games, you don't have a set number of bullets. Yes, eventually you do run out but boxes of bullets are strewn everywhere throughout the game. Fourth, you don't have a set number of lives. There are a few different scenes that I have died over and over again and it's great to know that I don't have to start all over again if I die. Fifth, the price. I was amazed that this game only costs $30 rather than the usual $50 that most Wii games cost. Entertainment-wise, this game gets played more than my other games and for $20 cheaper, I can't complain.
And what's not to like? The only negative I can think of is the controls. You have to use the nunchuk in order to play this game which can be complicating to some. It took me about 15 minutes to figure it out but after that, it was a breeze. Also, there are a couple of scenes that I got stuck on but having unlimited lives helped a ton with trying to figure out exactly how to get through certain parts of the game.
If you're looking for a great shooting game with an even greater storyline, be sure to pick this game up.
