Got the Gamecube version which is the one I will be playing.
The wiimote is nice, but not for games that require quick reflexes and instinctive responses to on screen action. Pass |

Er, is this for real?
Did he actually complain about a lack of strafing in this and thus consider it one of the points this has against the original? And in the original resi4, the guns you're starting with are wobblya s hell. Accuracy is one of the things you upgrade. It takes a while before you get the red9 with stock. And how often can you add sentences that give the same bit of info within a paragraph? Is that bit at the end some sort of record attempt? Or some sort reference to japanese game writing? |

this proves what i thought from the very beginning of the wiis' life:
if the motion control/point mechanic is not **absolutely perfect** then the machine will never be truly successful from a serious gamers point of view. |

How strange. So many other sites seem to find the controls much improved.

Well the reviews on Metacritic seem pretty positive. I was considering trading in my Gamecube version for this but I've just realised this comes out on the same day as The Darkness so I'll be keeping my GC version.

Well he makes the control scheme sound horrible, and though it seems like the actual issue is that he is having trouble co-ordinating his left and right hands because of the two-piece controller, i.e. one of the good points of the wiimote/nanchuck, I haven't played RE4 Wii, so I will takes his word on it, until the Edge review comes through. That said, ALL other journalists and people that played it claim the new controls are a asignificant imrovment and fun.
However taking potshots at the graphics because they aren't Hi-Def is just wrong IMH. It still is one of the most beautiful games around. In any case, AFAIK this version supports both the GC controller and the Classic controller, so it still is the definitive version even if the new control method really is borked. |

This comment thread will be fun.
By the way, the game still supports the cube pad for people who are in doubt. If you haven't got around playing it yet then you should. Or get the cheaper cube version but miss out on the extras. Or get the cheaper PS2 version with the extras. Anyway I'll definetly buy this game. I totally loved RE4 and I really want to try out the Wii controls. Even more so now that someone said the controls are inferior. It's the first time that I have read that but who knows, maybe it's true. |

Haowan: he says that since the advent of high-def gaming it looks dated. Like watching a film from the 70's, or re-watching Blake 7.
Fair enough. With that reasoning, console games have looked dated forever. Or is it fair to compare the Wii to the 360 and PS3, but not the Xbox or PS2 to PCs (at the time, obviously)? It's not like HD gaming is something new, I've been doing it since the late 90ies.

Interesting. People I know who've played it say that the controls are an improvement. Guess the Wii reviews are going to continue to be incredibly subjective.

CVG:
"The pointer calibration here is so sharp you could cut yourself with it:...the result is an effortless and flawless targeting system that does exactly what you demand of it. " Eurogamer: "You'll point the Wiimote at things you want to shoot, but this is a wobbly, fuzzy experience, compared to the precision of the previous versions of the game. " Hmm, a little different. I might buy this just to figure out whether it's worth listening to EG's reviews. |
