Amazon.co.uk Review

The original GameCube version of Resident Evil 4 was universally considered to be the best game of 2005. It completely reinvented what had begun to be a fairly stale series, in the process becoming one of the most accomplished third person action games ever seen and certainly the most cinematic. The subsequent PlayStation 2 port did a very good job of almost matching the graphical quality of the GameCube version, while also adding in a number of extra features, including an extra five bonus chapters as the mysterious Ada Wong.

This new Wii version is essentially a combination of the two previous games, with new motion controls added in. The means you get the superior graphics of the GameCube version (now in 16:9 widescreen for the first time) and all the extras from the PlayStation 2 games, including the Separate Ways bonus sections with Ada.

Although no one's going to complain about all of the above (especially as the GameCube version is now very difficult to get a hold of new) the big question is how the controls work on the Wii remote. The answer is surprisingly well, with the remote used to aim directly on screen like a light gun and the nunchuk employed for moving around. It's not too dissimilar to The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and proves again that the Wii can handle games with more complex controls perfectly well if called upon. All of which means this is the definitive version of what is unquestionably one of the very best action games ever made.

Is Worth Getting!
Some people have been saying that: "what's the point of getting Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition on the Nintendo Wii when I can play it on my Play Station 2?"
Well...
After being released on the GameCube, PS2 and PC, Resident Evil 4 has come to the Nintendo Wii with more realistic and lively controls!
If you are not familiar with this game, Resident Evil 4 is about a police officer called Leon Scott Kennedy (who has been seen on Resident Evil 2) has been sent on a mission to Europe to rescue the president's daughter who has been kidnapped.
Her Name is Ashley Graham.
This isn't easy.
This government agent must go on a breathtaking adventure where he meets the president's daughter, a mysterious Spaniard, a woman in red and a macabre populace.
He meets a Merchant who lets him buy, sell and tune up weapons which can come in handy!
The Merchant will always be next to some blue lights just to know that he's around.
If you are tempted to shoot him you may but sadly you don't get his items but not to worry, he will be back next time you see him.
Later on in the game, the Merchant sets up a mini game which allows you to collect 4 rows of bottle caps and is a target game.
The objective is simple, shoot the head of a man and you get 100 points and if you shoot a women's head you will gain 200 points but if you shoot the chest or anywhere else except the head of a man or a women you only gain 50 points.
There's a downside to it...
Shoot Ashley (on the mini game) and you lose 1000 points... harsh I know.
Every time you get a full row, go to the merchant and you will get a lot of money (ptas).

He also meets Ramon Salazar who is the castellan of the castle that serves as a setting for part of the game.
He hails from a noble family, who were responsible for originally sealing the Las Plagas beneath the castle's grounds.
Years later, Saddler, a cultist who worships Las Plagas, persuades Salazar to unearth the parasites, causing them to spread across the local area.
Salazar confronts Leon and Ashley several times during Resident Evil 4, and mutates into a gigantic monster in his final meeting with Kennedy. Salazar is the last boss you will encounter during the castle portion of the game.

He also meets Osmund Saddler who is the primary antagonist in Resident Evil 4.
He is the leader of "Los Illuminados", the cult responsible for Ashley Graham's kidnapping.
He plans on infecting Ashley with a sample of Las Plagas, in hope that she will return home and infect higher ranking members of the United States Government.
Saddler then wishes to control them and seize control of the United States, and then the world.

There are also some extras which are located on the main menu.
Here are the extras...

The Mercenaries: A great little game where you have 4 rounds to destroy different kinds of villagers and earn points.
If you earn 4 stars or more you get another character to play with.
There are 5 characters to get, they are: Leon. S. Kennedy, Ada Wong, Jack Krauser, H.U.N.K and Albert Wesker.

Separate Ways: This game allows you to see Ada Wong's storyline which links to Leon's; it is very exciting and interesting.
Ada also has a hook shot.

Assignment Ada: This is a game where you are Ada Wong but do not have the hook shot. Your goal is to collect 5 Plaga samples and make it to the rendezvous point.
This isn't easy.
Ada loses health faster than Leon which can make this game difficult.
The only boss / big monster that you have to defeat is Jack Krauser.

Movie Browser: The Movie Browser allows you to see videos from Separate Ways and Leon's story which can be entertaining at times.

Credits: This shouldn't be hard to explain because everyone knows what credits are but anyway...
Here is where you can see which people did a certain thing to help contribute to Resident Evil 4.

Excellent, my favourite game.
Thank you for taking the time to read my review.
10/10.

Another classic!
I find it very hard to fault anything in the Resident Evil series and this is no exception. Amazing graphics and a really gripping story line makes this game hard to stop playing. If your a fan of other Resident Evil games in the past then don't hesitate in buying this game. Brilliant!

Best game ever!!!!!
First of all I would like to say that this is the best game I have ever played, and I have played a lot of games.

It really is a genuine horror game. Many of the monsters look genuinely scary, and how the game makes them behave can be even scarier. You may well find yourself actually wondering whether or not you want to continue.

As a game however, capcom has created a masterpiece, and it's the little things that make it so good. eg. Capcom has used the in-game engine to make the cutscenes, instead of using all the fancy CG videos that look nothing like the actual game. This helps the game flow extremely well.

Everything fits together perfectly. The weapons, the movement, the gore, the sound. Everything fits together to create the ultimate gaming experience!
