I had such a hard time when I first stared playing this game just because I refused to use the knife; I thought it was only good to break boxes and such.  

I am playing the game, but I have to take breaks in between since it scares me too much. I know I am a wuss but I cant help it, this is my first resident evil game and it terrifies me .

Already bought it.

My only regret is that I know RE5 will in no way be able to live up to this one.

 I had that worry too.  One of the things that kept me from enjoying RE4 on the Gamecube was that I just didn't like the controls.  It really felt too slow to me (especailly after playing twitch games like Unreal and Quake) and I just couldn't get into it.  With the Wii version, I immediatly fell in love and just feel like this is the way the game is meant to be played.  I still plan on picking up RE5, but if they keep the controls similar to the GC version I know I'm going to miss the Wii controls.

I went to Best Buy today to pick up Strikers and Picross with what I thought was a $50 gift card. Turns out it was a $100 gift card so I picked up RE4 Wii too!

RE4 for the Gamecube was my 5th favorite console game of all time. The Wii version moved it up to spot 2 or 3. Probably 3.

That's a great feeling, isn't it? Relatives give me gift cards sometimes; I'll start asking them to tell me that's a lower amount than it truly is.

Pro mode isn't that hard. It's like normal except you get less ammunition and the enemies do more damage. You should definitely try it, it feel really satisfying knowing you beat the game at that difficulty.

After beating the Normal mode I went straight to Pro. I didn't even use the extras because all the new weapons would kill the enemies too easily. In professional mode, I'll go through it with EVERYTHING probably 2-3 times.

I LOVE THIS GAME!
