Remakes and ports there all bad and a waste of time in the eyes of many. But this one is not a waste of time at all.
Resident Evil 4 also known in japan as Biohazard 4 stars (get it) Leon S. Kennedy and his mission is to rescue the daughter of the President of the United States, Ashley Graham. The gameplay is from a third-person, over-the-shoulder perspective. Now with this being a Resident Evil game we all know that things are not going to be an easy ride or that things will stay normal for very long at all (but we will get to that soon enought). The camera is focused behind Leon, and it zooms in for an over-the-shoulder view when aiming a weapon. Which makes for a better aim which is needed when facing shootouts involving crowds of enemies in large open areas.
Not only does Resident Evil 4 have a better control/aiming system but the way the enemys react when there hit. Bullets now affect the enemies specifically where they are shot: shots to the feet can cause enemies to stumble, while shots to the arms can cause them to drop their weapons. Which should be used in way way more games if you ask me...I mean in most games it would be as if the weapons where stuck to there hands but not here....
Now here is where there is change unlike the past Resident Evil games the enemys in Resident Evil 4 are not run of the mill zombies. These are parasitically-controlled humans referred to as Los Ganados. They are significantly smarter and quicker, they not only dodge, wield melee and projectile weapons. They also work collectively and communicating which all makes for harder foes in the long run.
The Wii version of the game of which i am reviewing now featured new controls involving the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, along with the ability to use the GameCube controller or Classic Controller. Its Wii-mote was able to aim and shoot anywhere on the screen and to be honest that worked alot better than the laser sight found in the other versions. It could also be flicked to use the knife to instantly target an enemy.
