Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition

released on May 31, 2007

A port of Resident Evil 4

Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition features the bonus content from the PS2 version and has many alterations compared to previous ports, taking Wiimote aiming into account. The shooting mechanism uses a much larger reticule that turns from green to red when an enemy is targeted as opposed to a very narrow laser sight, a "quick knife" command is added that auto-targets the nearest enemy or object, and motion sensitive quick time event prompts are included as well as button presses. Visually the game is on par with the original GameCube version as opposed to the somewhat inferior graphics of the PlayStation 2 version, although in very few instances the inferior PS2 graphics are mistakenly retained such as herbs having lower detail models in some places. The Wii version also supports the Wii's Classic Controller, which reverts aiming and the laser sight back to the original format. The only other noticeable differences are that the game seems significantly easier, and that all of Leon's actions appear to move slightly faster.

Better than the original by virtue of just Being A Laser Pointer instead of an emulated laser pointer. Has all the other problems still.

The same good game with some pretty good motion-based aiming. It does make the game a little easier, though.

I will continue to stand by the fact that RE4: Wii Edition is one of, if not the best way, to experience this game. It's the same cheesy, over-the-top narrative we know & love but with surprisingly well-implemented Wii controls. No gimmicks here ---- just a nice, comfortable way to aim your weapons & swing your knife at enemies. Combine that with what made RE4 memorable to begin with & you've got a great deal here.

The best version of one of the best games ever made.

If you've never played this, what is wrong with you? You should know by now what makes this special. The innovative camera perspective. Adaptive difficulty, memorable setpieces, great boss fights, tense music. Awesome monster design. The hammy but fun story. Merc mode and other avenues of content. Just so much to love here.

This is all compounded with excellent motion controls that are snappy and responsive. They make the experience tons of fun. Even then, you can just use a classic controller and play it like the original game. So it really offers you everything.

This is a game that shouldn't work as it is. It's stupid and hard to take seriously. Yet it just works so perfectly. Truly lighting in a bottle.

I think what makes it work is that it has infinite replay value. No matter how many times you play through the game, it is so flashy and so fun to blast through enemies that you don't mind. Mechanic wise it is so tight and polished. All the little things around it help to make it fun too. The attache case, looting for items, the various weapons, etc.

Merc mode is just so fun too. everything about this game is perfectly realized.
Masterpiece.

Este juego lo deberia de jugar por lo menos una vez en tu vida, por que es increible q hasta revoluciono un genero entero.

De paso fue una maravilla jugarlo en Wii original.

Mi primer resident evil la verdad, y con los mandos de wii una pasada, recomendado.
