The GC Masterpiece makes a Bargin-Bin Wii Comeback
Post Via amazon in Wii Games ReviewResident Evil 4
At only $30, this is a fantastic opportunity for anyone who missed out on one of the best experiences of the Gamecube/Playstation 2. But even better, at $30 this is still a bargin for those of us who have already played and beaten the crap out of it.
For those who are unfamiliar, in Resident Evil 4 you are Leon S. Kennedy, a man sent on a mission to retrieve the president's kidnapped daughter. The storyline is kind of corney, but it works.
The storyline is fairly irrelevent though, since the creepy atmosphere and intense gameplay more than make up for the corny storyline.
But perhaps best of all are the controls. The GC/PS2 version's controls were tight and easy to use. But with the Wii remote as a pointing device, the controls just got much better. Simply pointing at whatever you want to die is far easier and more satisfying than trying to grapple with innacurate analogue sticks.
RE4 is well-paced and challenging. Once you think you're safe, the game throws more chainsaw-wielding madmen at you. And before you even grow tired of your surroundings, the game mixes it up with a creepy village, a cult-driven castle, and a military base, all with unique enemies and challenges and hidden treasures and upgradable weapons and intense boss fights and...
Well you get the point. The game was phenomenal on Gamecube, was still phenomenal on Playstation 2, and now it's gotten even better with pin-point accurate Wii controls. Highly recommended.
