Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition Comments by Dave McCarthy

Having just finished this game this review is totally wrong. The Wii controls work like a dream. I cant imagine playing this with a normal controller now.

Sorry, but this review is just wrong. It seems obvious that the reviewer is a Sony fanboy... I found the controls in the RE4: WE reasonably intuitive and very accurate. Also, the graphics are great too.

Finally got round to picking this up, and I can't believe how off the mark EG are on this one. It's astonishing.

On PS2 the controls were so crap I never made it out of the 1st village. This plays like a dream. It's like the game was originally designed for the Wii controller.

Looking down the scores on Metacritic I feel embarassed to be a regular EG reader. You guys have played the odd video game before haven't you? Or had you written the conclusion line before you took the cellophane off the box? It certainly has very little to do with the game me and the rest of the world are playing.

This review is absolutely rubbish, the controls are brilliant on this, aiming and shooting with the remote is bliss. I just wish resident evil 5 had the same, cos i can honestly say i would miss them.

Phew... Glad to read I'm not the only one who thinks the Wii controls are a vast improvement on the GameCube ones...
Is it just me, or are some Eurogamer crewmembers just not that good with Wii games?
Tomb Raider: Anniversary also got put down because of supposed bad Wii controls, but IMO those work perfect too. It's less easy than versions on other consoles, since you don't have auto-aim, but for me the controls felt sharp and very well executed.

I've FINALLY got this game and I have to echo what's being said here. This isn't a 7/10 game. Seriously good stuff - the controls are absolutely fine.

This review is a disgrace

God that felt good!

I just picked this up, at last... And much as I love Eurogamer, I've got to agree with everyone who's saying this review is nonsense. The controls are very nice!

EDIT: After playing for a little longer, I'm actually ANGRY with this review. This is such a good game! The only people I wouldn't recommend it to are people who don't like the genre, or who've already played it on a different system.

Eurogamer embarresed themselves with this review.
Reading this guys other reviews he should be sacked. Dynasty warriors 6 8/10, are you joking

I wouldn't say this review is a joke - there is the paragraph where Dave says "Maybe I'm being unkind. Maybe this review is nothing more than the out-of-date opinions of a gaming dinosaur, out of touch with the general gamer. Maybe Wii's target audience will take to this like a duck to water, unburdened by hands that are semi-permanently contorted into a dual-stick controller grasp."

Not maybe, definitely :P Although the thought of being a Gaming Dinosaur 9like a Wii playing T-Rex) rules.

This review is utter rubbish. Whoever revieded this is completely drunk or has never actually played the wii version. I would just like to say that I played the gamecube version and was awestruck (for obvious reasons). I bought it on the wii so i could hav my own version and it took me the best part of 10 minutes to get the controls sorted. DO NOT STEER CLEAR. the wii version is better in every way. Head shots are so much easier and the graphics are far from dated given the capabilities of the wii...if u havent bought this game on the GC or PS then there is no excuse. The wii version is bar far the best AND IT LETS YOU USE THE GAMECUBE CONTROLLER IF U WANT TO ANYWAY!!!!!! WHICH MORON WROTE THIS REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!

...i think the reviewer is 'wiitarded'...I had mates round that were tearing zombies heads off from 50metres away with the handcannon and magnums 1st time they played it in about 3 minutes. No people, this is not a conspiracy, it doesnt signify the demise of nintendo, it is merely a cheap cop out and chance for them to make money...and i say good on them. The GC version was slightly lacking, this however has everything the PS2 version had. Btw, nintendo was out a year after the xbox yet has already massively overtaken it in sales so jog on scepticals.

I've just got this game after delaying for about a year, I wish I hadn't delayed as I'm enjoying this a lot. I've not played the PS2/Gamecube edition so can't comment on the controls but I'm having no problems with the Wii controls at all, they seem fine to me. I can shoot who I want when I want with enough ease (although the knife is pretty much un-usable outside of breaking boxes). I haven't really played any games on the PS3 or XBox360 much so can't comment on the visuals but again I think they're fantastic.

This is the first game for a while that has me hooked.

Had to register just to complain about this awful review ;-)

I had played the original Gc version lots and lots, even got Handcannon (it was a lot of work for me, Leon in Waterworld was hell).

Bought Wii version for Separate Ways side quest. Starting the main game with Wii controls was hard (I was hardwired to Gc controls) but after maybe 30 minutes it became second nature and I started to really enjoy it. Reloading and knifing in particular was very smooth, I was doing headshots with great accuracy (getting 90 % accuracy with Wii version is very easy) . I can tell you that I got Handcannon *much* quicker on Wii version and can't even think of going back to old controls.

The only problem with Wii controls is that they are so good and easy that the game is much easier in Wii.

Wii version is the definitive one, it is one of greatest games on any system ever.

To the tune of Goldfinger, or more specifically Homers' Max Power;

"Dave (Mc)Carthy,
He's the man, the man who cannot game
Or even aim!
Some say he has shatted wrists,
Others just say that he's shit,
But it's clear to see that on this one he's wrong, wrong ,WRONG!"

Thanks, I'm here all week. try the clubbed Hamster.
