yes this game is awesome.
I beat it on normal and I didnt use the knife until like 3-1, I guess I got lucky with ammunition.
The controls for this game are amazing and i can't wait to see what MP3 is like.

I love this game.... on the Wii. I played it back when it first came out on the GC but not being a fan of shooters (because I suck at aiming with two analog sticks) I never made it past the castle.

As much as I'd like to play RE5, I don't think I will because I just can't stand using the analogs to play FPS. I need a wii-mote or mouse. If it ports to the Wii then I will be all over it.

 EDIT: I'd also like to point out that I did try to play the first 3 RE games but I hated them because of the isometric prerendered backrounds and tank controls. RE4 was the first in the series that I could stomach for longer than a half hour of play (although I did watch my friends play through the others for the story).

The wii controls definately up the playability for me and I personally consider it my favorite game on the the Wii right now. (Zelda is second)

Resident Evil 4 is the Best Wii Game for me so far. Horror/Suspense Theme + Shooting Game + Wii Blaster = Perfect Game

As much of a 360 die hard I am, I don't think I could go back to playing RE5 without the wii-mote either and will probably wait for a Wii version. I don't care if it never happens even. RE5 isn't being made by the same director, team or even department n Capcom as RE4 was. I love the RE franchise but the fact they brought back Chris Redfield almost kills the game for me. I can only hope they somehow manage to salvage his character after that terrible Code Veronica game (Don't let Sega make your games).

I agre. You should buy this game, even if you have beaten it on another system. I beat it on the cube 3 times, and on the ps2 once and I bought the Wii edition the day it came out and I have loved it far more than the other versions since then.

Most games have crap stories because the stories are there to serve the game conventions (RPGs are the easiest to pull off because they have a bit more freedom in story structure).

 RE4 had the usual RE asinine key stuff. I love how Leon can't get around the shack in the village without a key, not realizing that 1) he has a gun that can shoot the lock, 2) the  windows look as secure as Paris Hilton's vagina, and 3) the village has a bunch of ladders he can use to climb over the damn thing.

 Honestly I think the game ran too long. Yes there are great gameplay moments, but also great game stalls. Most of the island/assault the military compound stuff was unnecessary and felt out of place for a horror game. Possibly the most painful moment was the superflous cut scene of Luis coming to tell you he left the cure in his other outfit.

That said, complaining about the lack of plot in RE4 is like complaining about the lack of zombies in Citizen Kane. Yes, both would be made better, but what's there is still pretty great.

Have both GC and Wii versions this is a must buy! One of the best games ever. The wiimote controls make it worth the purchase even if you already own a previous version.

Come on people lets get this game to million seller status.

 How'd that knifing regenerators go for you?

And I already bought it. 

Bodhesatva demands that all Wii owners buy this game. Also, Bodhesatva demands that all non-Wii owners buy a Wii. Then they must buy Forever Blue as punishment for not owning a Wii. Then they must buy this game.
