There were a lot of places I had to die one or twice to make it through an area in RE 4, but only 1 or 2 areas that were really hard. I assume you have the wii version with wiimote, and not using the game cube controller, as that would be hard...
Be a little more specific where you are stuck at in RE 4.
Also, don't be too scare to use your best weapons. People say the game is hard on ammo, but it's actually keeps track of what you use. If you only use the pistol, you will get mostly pistol ammo and other ammo will be scarce. Use the wapons you like and are easy to kill with, although it's good to save ammo for at least one good weapon for a boss... Although fully upgraded pistol so it can shoot through multiple enimies is great, and so is the shotgun, etc...
