Leon S. Kennedy is one of the best things to happen to the Resident Evil 4 franchise. He has the skills and the firepower to beat the living hell of any dead or undead creature in his path. Now, we can take control of him yet again in Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, the most solid port out for the wii right now. The story is still the same, Leon is sent to a small town in Spain to look for the president's daughter, who has been kidnapped by a mysterious cult. As you'd expect, you know use the wii remote to aim and shoot, which works really well. The difficult feels like it has been turned down to accomodate the new control scheme, but there's always Proffesional mode. The quick-time events are still here, only know they're pulled off by either pushing certain buttons or by widly shaking the remote. The latter ones just make you tired. What makes Resident Evil 4 so great is still hear. Its remarkable how many incredible boss battles and intense firefights are crammed into a single game. All the brilliant set pieces that made this one of the longest and best action games ever are still here, such as the bandaged chainsaw weilding grandmas, the intense quicktime knife fight, your gross and large scale boss battles, and the race against time to get off an exploding island. This port also includes some special features only owners of the PS2 version got: Assignment Ada, a minigame where you take control of the sexy Ada Wong and infiltrate a facility in the island run by the Los Illuminados to retrieve five samples of a parasite. In the Seperate Ways side story, you control Ada and get to see what she was doing and how it affected the main storyline (Leon's). For example, in the beginning, when Leon is attacked by the spanish peasants, Ada rang the church bell to cause a distraction. Sounds kinda interesting, but the problem is that the action is not as good as the main story since you lack the weapons customisation from Leon's quest. This filler moments of the story will mostly appeal to hardcore RE fanboys. Also included is The Mercenaries, a minigame where the point is shooting as much enemies as possible in a certain time limit. First you have only Leon, but can then unlock other characters like Ada, Wesker, and Krauser. Each has their own unique weapons. The idea is that this game helps you improve your combat skills. Overall, this is like a collector's edition of tha game. All you could ever expect from this game is here. It has a cool control scheme, all the action, gore, and undead monsters you could ever want, and some solid extras. This is the definitive edition of Resident Evil 4.
