RE4 Review

I finished RE4 for the Wii last night, and i enjoyed it. Why wouldn't I, its an amazing game. But I still prefer the GC version better. I like the Wii version with the controls, but they did feel very awkward at times. Especially at high action times and when lots of enemies surround you. They just didn't seem for work right. But my biggest gripe with the Wii version is the boss battles were dumbed down severely. Most notably was the knife fight with Krouser toward the end. Normally that fight has some kind of challenge to it with having to use the knife and dodging his attacks. But in the Wii version I beat him in literally 15 seconds. What a rip off. Its one of my favorite moments in the game, and I beat him that quick. I was so mad. I prefer the laser aiming method over using the Wiimote for some reason. I liked the laser better than that weird on screen aimer. Even if I had to hold "R" to aim. In close quarters the Wiimote is very clunky and just bad.

To keep this short, the Wii version is still a worthy pick up, but if you haven't played the GC version I suggest trying that one. In my opinion its much better. If it wasn't for the fact that the boss fights suck in the Wii version I probably would've selected the Wii version overall, but a boss fight is supposed to be epic and memorable, not last 15 without getting hit. If for some crazy reason you've never played RE4 over the past 2 years, pick up the Wii version, but for the die hard fans, stick to the GC version.

RE4 for the Wii 8.5/10

RE4 for the GC 9.5/10

RE4 for the PS2 9/10 (GC had better graphics and the control felt better)

Use the classic controller it plays just like the original

im pretty sure you can use a GC controller on re4 wii so actually, you could play the original versionbobbetybob

I thought the controls were tight. Sometimes when I reload the targeting reticle will get stuck on the side of the screen. Not fun when a f**kin zombie is like 2ft from you. But other than that, everythings pretty solid. Any suggestions for a what weapons to keep in my inventory?SturmFuhrer14

a second way to reload is by holding the trigger and push on the d-pad, thats what i do.

Err. I was just about to go out and by the Wii Edition, but after reading this, do you suggest I get the GCN version instead?

EDIT: Oh wait, Wii Edition can use the GCN and Classic Controller. Ok that's fine then. I'll probably still use the Wiimote anyways.

LOL all that time I coulda done that, I was using the stupid wrist flick. DEE DEE DEE on my part.

wow i really didnt know you could switch it. but then why would you? the game is identical to the GC version other then the new control scheme. so is there really any point of getting the Wii version if i own the GC version and would just play the Wii version with the GC controller?

Blacktail because it is strong and it shoots faster, but the red9 can get a power of 5 so its up to you

The point maybe is you can have the PS2 version contents on the Wii version like the Ada missions. That's why it might be worth.
