Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition Review

I recently got bought this game for good GCSE results in my German and Media exams, so now i am gonna review it.

This game has been voted the best game ever released on the Playstation 2, so i thought, 'well, the Wii can only make it better? Right?' and i was right...

You play as Leon Kennedy, an agent that is trying to get news of where the Presidents Daughter has gotten missing to...

The first impression of this game was definitely a good one, you are walking through dark woods, towards a house, where you are seeking information about the presidents daughter, a man inside the house answers you in complete gibberish, and launches at you with an axe, can't get a better first impression then that can you?

The first part is more of a tutorial, he comes at you slowly with the axe, and you have to shoot him dead with 3 bullets, just teaching you the basics of shooting

The graphics of this game are fantastic, the best i have seen from any Wii game, although the above picture doesn't capture it very well, but the graphics truly are astounding. I am not exaggerating when i say that this game could have easily made it onto the 360 with the graphics that it has. The sound effects are eerie, and god damn terrifying... playing the game first time scared the absolute crap outta me! But that's a good thing... right?

The controls in this game are amongst the best i have seen from any Wii game, you use the Nunchuk as standard to control the player, and you point the Wiimote at the screen for aiming, it's exactly like playing House of the Dead in an arcade but with better graphics and being in the comfort of my own home. When using the knife, you make a slashing motion with the Wiimote making the player slash the knife, if that isn't great controls then i don't know what is... and if you were asking the same question as me, 'the Wii can only make it better, can't it?' the your answer is here in the paragraph, Yes, it does...

I agree the game rocks. But it's very hard. I've had it for a year and still haven't beat it.

My Review is a 9/10. becuase there are to many puzzles and its pretty hard. Although it is an AWSOME GAME. YOU MUST BUY!

The word Wii looks out of place on that cover :l

Good review, it's to bad I could never get into the game.
