It also had worse graphics then the PS2 version (which was the worst), there's a 1.10 patch that brings up to PS2 specs... But that really ****s

And yeah, the no mouse thing is just really bad, so I am pretty fine with my RE4 Wii, currently at 5-1, just before the regenerators... (It's hardest to knowingly head into a trap/ambush)

Also, I'd buy it if there's a suitable RE5 Wii edition... although I do forsee decrease of enemy numbers and downgrade graphics... 

There's no denying that RE4 is awesome, but I don't know if people who played the Gamecube version really need the Wii Edition, even if the WE also has the extras from the PS2 version.

I currently own the GC game, the PS2 collector's edition, and the Wii Edition, and have played both of the older games and am halfway through the new one ... but that's because I'm obsessed with the game. I mean, I really can't help myself. I could be playing SPM or something right now, and I want to, but RE4 always sucks me back in. And I can't stop until I have the Chicago Typewriter.

IMO the controls are better in some ways but a little more awkward in others. I must say though that shooting while stationary is much easier thanks to the lightgun-style aiming: I easily got 5950 out of (I think) a possible 6000 on the target range minigame, when I struggled to get over 4000 in the old versions.

But the above paragraph notwithstanding, the game doesn't seem "too easy" as some have claimed, or even much easier than before, that I can remember anyway. Except for that minigame, and by extension the parts of the game when you can just stand in one place, look in one direction, and shoot everything in sight. And there honestly aren't a huge number of those situations.

I really need to get this game, no-one shuts up about it, what is its greatest aspect?

Ok, maybe its not 1-4, I know I was at 1-3 and I just beat the big arse fish thing in the lake. I am still on the overall 'village' section so I assumed it would be 1-4 now. Since it said I completed 1-3 when I saved and passed out.

To the rest of you, if you *think* you won't like if because it is horror or shooter or RE, just rent it and prove yourself wrong. This game is a must have for any Wii library.

 EDIT: ok I beat "El Lago" and am now on 2-1. That should make it clearer.

Yeah, it's a great game and definitely worth the buy. They completely nailed the controls I can't even imagine going back and playing RE4 GC with the old controls or even playing RE5 without the pointer.

The only thing I would improve on that game is the music (I'm pretty sure I've bitched about that here before). A game like RE4 just allows for so much mood to completely creep out the player and keep the awesome tense feeling that makes a game like this fun but the music completely kills that. I hate it tells you there are enemies present and then is completely quit when there's no threat or you've finished everybody off. I would much rather have the music the entire time and be scared every time I turn the corner.

Gamestop here is selling RE4 Wii for $29.99 new.

Already have Gc version and gonna get Wii Edition WHEN IT FINALLY GETS TO THE EUROPE :(

It's in Europe buddy.

I have never played through any RE game before. RE 4 Wii edition is my first, and I am enjoying it imensely! I am about 2/3 through the castle on professional mode. HARD, even with the precise Wii controls. You have to really watch your ammo, and make good use of your shots.

I'm getting it for Christmas.
