My husband bought this game for himself, but is too scared to play it alone!! I’ve watched as he plays and it really doesn’t look fun at all. He just walks around killing the same zombies over and over. I also hate having a game in the house my children can’t be exposed to. I found the game booklet in with my 4 year old daughter’s books the other night… Ugh.

It’s too time consuming and takes too much time between scenes to actually do something/shoot. Didn’t like it at all, I wish I could get a refund. I liked House of the Dead 2 & 3 better!

Apparently, according to the other reviews, I’m the only one who almost hated this game. I rented this game for the sole reason that it got nothing but high praise. I played this game for ten minutes, put it away, and never looked back.
I’ll say this for Resident Evil 4 in that every other aspect of it besides game play is just decent. The story line is just … well … okay. The graphics are top notch for the Wii, though. However, it’s the game play that ruined this game for me.
The use of the Wii remote is extremely clumsy, and not very innovative either. You have to use your joystick on your numchuck, in coordination with a button, in combination with aiming with your wii remote, in combination with another button just to aim and shoot. Sounds simple, right? Not really when you have about 5 or 6 zombies storming you. You end up alot of times getting your view distorted when trying to fire at someone. Your view of yourself gets in the way a lot of times, and you end up seeing a person’s legs when you can’t see the rest of him because you’re so worried about aiming and firing that you forget to hold your C button down just to look up instead of walking right into the person. I ran into this a lot. By the time you think you’ve got it down, the screen comes up saying, “You Are Dead”.
I will say this, however, to those of you who might actually take this review to heart. I never have liked the Resident Evil games in the past because I always thought the game play was always crap, and always hard to use. I gave this game a try because the view and the way you move around and shoot are changed to fit more of a FPS style. I thought it failed miserably in this aspect, and felt that Capcom could have done a much better job tweaking the controls in this game. Also, to me, the game play is the MOST important aspect of the game. If I can’t pick it up and play it without frustration within a short period of time, then I don’t like it. I don’t care if the graphics and the effects are off the charts. If the game play stinks, which it did in this game, and the story line is bland, like this game, than I’m not going to like it. That’s why I gave this game 2 stars. The only reason it got some stars was because of the good detail that went into this game.
Bottom line: if you don’t mind bad game play and a bland story line, than I suppose this game is for you.

I like the wii and think its motion sensing controllers work great for some games. When i played this game on the wii however the controller and nunchuck did not seem right at all. I don’t think the wii’s controllers work well on first person shooters.

I found the controls on this ridiculously hard to learn and frustrating. Also, the game is very dark, and the view in front of you is so narrow that it’s hard to find your way around or even get a sense of what’s around you. I play for like 5-10 minutes, get mad and frustrated and turn if off. But that’s just me…
