Just picked this up for the wii after hearing great reviews.

Anybody on here got it and want to let me know what I am in for?

Do you get a gun or knife with the pack or is it all done using the Wii remote?

It's done using the Wiimote and nunchuk, and it's awesome! Resident Evil 4 is one of my favourite games of all time, and the Wii edition is the best version of it. You're in for a treat!

Yea I remember you bigging it up in the past, looking for a more challenging resident evil as RE5 on the 360 would have been pants without a co-op partner.

I am sure we will both let you knw our thoughts when we have got our teeth into it.

Ah so Oosters you have played it? Are the graphics like RE5 for 360?

Hell no. You have to bear in mind this game was released in early 2005, so it's essentially more than four years old. That's a long time in terms of graphics technology. Plus it was originally a GameCube game, which is a generation behind the 360. So it might look a little blocky (even on the spruced-up Wii version) and it's not even in the same league as Resident Evil 5.

It's not all about graphics though, it still plays like a dream and the Wiimote is perfectly suited to the controls.

Simple as, I HATED IT. I hate that you can not run/walk and shoot. No wonder I died so much.

After having me head chainsawed off twice in a row I quit and have not gone back.

Im sure its prob a lad thing, not for me :(

Oh no! You'll never trust my recommendations again!

Sorry you didn't enjoy it, I thought as you'd played Resi 5 the controls would have been more easy to get to grips with. Trade it in for Twilight Princess!

Ahh, she never played RE5.

Don't worry mate she didn't buy it, I did, and I havn't played it yet :)

It's more of a lad's game me thinks (awaits barrage).
