The controls are worse in the Wii version but the aiming is better. It's the exact opposite way in the Gamecube version

Considering that it's only 20 bucks it's worth it to have both so you have the extra content and see the difference in control schemes

I think controls are great on Wii too.

Aiming is a bit too easy but that doesn't bother me, you simply save bullets. :)

I had the GCN version, amazing game. Wii version, equally great!

You can play with the Gamecube controller on RE4 Wii. No need to own both. I like RE4 with the Wii controllersafter I got used to it. I would forget at first to make sure I am aiming on screen when I took out the gu to shoot.

The Wii version is obviously superior. It offers both control schemes and extra content.

The controls for RE4 Wii Edition are far superior to the GC version(I own both). Add in additional content, Widescreen, and 30 dollar price tag and the winner is very obvious.

Graphics of the Gamecube Version

Content of the PS2 Version

Greatly improved controls, but old conrol scheme still intact

480p, Widescreen

All at a budget price

It's the best version of one of the best games ever made, and thats that.

The wii version is pretty much better, but I'll still always think of RE4 as a gamecube game.

The Wii version, obviously for the content and lower price and beefed up controls.

However, I played the game so much on the gamecube, sometimes I miss that version.

I guess I prefer the Wii version, beacuse of new content and controls, but I had way more fun with the GC version. I played it through about 6 times, completed mercenaries mode with 5 stars with all characters on all maps and unlocked everything. I got the Wii version to see what the fuzz was about, and I haven't even finished it.

Just saying that by the time the Wii version came, I felt I was pretty much done with the game. The controls didn't make me want to finish the game and unlock stuff again.

Must say that I agree with Jayson, that the aiming for the Wii is obviously better, but the controls overall was better in the GC version. I thought going through the menus and some other stuff was pretty annoying in the Wii version.

Frankly, the two versions could've swapped content and the Wii version would still be better. The controls on the GCN/other systems is broken. The fact that there was no option to aim with the right stick just made it broken. Still, even if it had, the Wii aiming would still be superior....I hated the GCN version but thought reasonably highly of the Wii version (unfortunately it wouldn't have made sense to put in a good story in a remake).

thats got to be the most asinine thing ive seen today. the controls are mapped virtually the same as the GC version, only the aiming is different. well, instead of hitting B you hit either Z or C, but its still easy as cereal

I played the GC version more. The only reason I got the Wii version was because it came with my Wii when I first got it. Only new thing was the controls since I had already played the exztra content on the PS2.

The motion controls were nice but I would not have bought the Wii version for them having already played it before.

I prefered the GC version.

you know whats interesting? my local blockbuster had both the gc and wii versions priced at 30 bucks, I was afraid the wii controls were too gimmicky, but when I was told I could use either the gamecube controller or the wiimote/nunchuck I was sold. Also there is the PS2 content on there, so the WII version is the ultimate version

maybe because movement is handled with just the analog stick

If you're playing the game on the Wii then you're not using two thumbsticks

ooooh dear... you dont use the C-stick in RE4 much anyways. the C-stick control has been replaced by the D-pad control, which isnt a problem at all, i find it more comfortable. (the C-stick is just used for tilting the camera just a little bit while walking, which proves to be useless throughout about 90% of the game)

You move with the thumbstick lol
That's much

The thumbstick gives you better control of the movement of the character

Yes, one of them

The one that now determines your direction isn't there anymore.

You're stuck using the Wiimote to steer your character which isn't as precise as the thumbstick.

The Wiimote is great for the aiming because all you're doing is pointing at something on the screen, but for character navigation it's a second place finish.

If you are reffering to the c-stick on the GC controller, all it does is allow you to see to the left and right of Leon. It does not MOVE Leon in ANY WAY, mearly the camera. Because the Wii version is compatible with the GC controller and ****c controller, this point is pretty much moot.

RE4 doesn't use that little C stick on the GameCube controller, you stear and move with just the one stick.

The Wii Remote is more accurate than a thumb stick.

In Scarface the camera is controled with the pinter and worked better than using the D-pad to move the camera in the Godfather
