Impressive title for Wii.
New to the RE franchise so a bit of back story helped. Straight up there is some nice scare factor with this game and reasonably good graphics from the lil' ol' Wii help to keep the atmosphere. The difference between in game graphics and the FMV is not so great as you would think. Good work from Capcom in this regard.
Unfortunately the game really only make use of the wii-mote's ability to point for aiming your gun. The ability to swing a knife is tied to swing your wii-mote but you can only swing it one way. I would have like to have jabbed my foes and aimed foe their throats but you can only slash their torsos.
Also head-shots aren't rewarded although you are dealing with zombies I guess. Additionally the inability to move sideways (strafe) makes some combat frustrating and walking into rooms perilous. Summing up...
Good: Immersive and spooky (as you'd expect). Ability to aim with Wii-mote.
Bad: Movement control is not the best and may take some time to get used to.
Definite must have when compared to some of the other stuff available.
