"Resident Evil 4" comes out in the US for the Nintendo
Wii on June 17th - and fans can't wait to get their hands on it.
One of the most popular games for the GameCube, RE4 already made
a successful transition onto the PS2 and PC, and the Wii version
is already getting raves from previewers.
With such a dearth of great shooters available on the Nintendo
Wii, and considering that there's a total lack of "scary"
games available for the relatively new console, "Resident Evil
4" is set to smash Wii sales records, and looks like it might
turn out to be the best game yet released for the Wii console.
Here are 5 reasons why Capcom's "Resident Evil 4"
is headed for the top:
1) Amazing Control Scheme
Even first-time gamers will agree that the control style for the
Wii version of "Resident Evil 4" is one of the most intuitive
yet in a Nintendo Wii game; aiming, shooting, and movement controls
make perfect sense and are easy to master. Previous Resident Evil
players will agree that the controls afford greater control over
your character's line of sight and avoid the inevitable controller
panic that can occur in intense situations."Resident Evil 4"
makes use of the Wii Remote's motion-sensing capabilities as if
it was designed for the console.
2) Sweet Graphics
In an area where the Nintendo Wii console has repeatedly failed,
"Resident Evil 4" succeeds spectacularly. Looking even
better than the GameCube and PS2 versions, the Wii version of RE4
features stunning vistas, enemies rendered with grisly clarity,
and smooth, graceful cut sequences. Compared to the somewhat limited
graphics of some other big-name Wii titles (Spiderman 3 especially),
"Resident Evil 4" looks absolutely amazing.
3) Tons of Replay Value
One of the complaints leveled against the Wii is the shortness of
game play and the lack of replay value. RE4 excels in this regard,
offering players loads of unlockables, including new playable characters,
super-powerful weapons and items to improve the general gameplay
experience. Better yet, played through a second time, the player
can increase the difficulty, dramatically changing the gameplay
experience.
4) Addictive Gameplay
One of the best things about "Resident Evil 4" is how
much you want to keep playing it. Every save point reached seems
to beg players to reach the next, and each pulse-pounding sequence
of action promises more to come. The great replay value means that
even the end promises further beginnings and further action, making
"Resident Evil 4" one of the most playable games yet released
on the Wii.
5) Fear Factor
One thing that "Resident Evil 4" offers that no other
title for the Nintendo Wii game can boast is that it is the only
truly terrifying game on the Wii console. In an ocean of bubbly,
cartoony games, Capcom has produced a truly gritty, scary masterpiece
that's a lot of fun to play - when you've got someone else in the
room with you. With few "scary" titles announced for the
2007 Wii lineup, Capcom stands to dominate the horror with this
and with their upcoming "Resident Evil: the Umbrella Chronicles."
With the rising popularity of the Nintendo Wii console and no end
in sight, "Resident Evil 4" is set to climb to the top
upon its June release and stay there for the long haul. With its
polished presentation, addictively frenetic action and lasting replay
value, you'll find a lot more than five reasons to love "Resident
Evil 4."
The comment of the other guy is so out of frame, I can see he only played it like 5 minutes (maybe \'cause he got scarred) or didn\'t played it at all and doesn\'t know what Resident Evil is...
