I had been wanting to buy this game for so long. Ever since I got my Wii in fact.
I just wasn't sure because I already had the PS2 version.
After getting it and playing it, I can now tell you that I regret not getting it sooner.
The controls are absolute perfection. The game was already good but with these controls it's something else. I haven't stopped playing it, I'm on my fourth run through and I have the Hand Cannon and Chicago Typewriter.
I am loving it so much.
The game itself is one hell of an action ride. Even after playing the PS2 version, my first run through clocked in at around 18 hours. I have cut it down to 6 and that's skipping over and not collecting everything. Apparently it can be done quicker.
The game starts out quiet, almost survival horror, only not. Then after you get into the game a little, it's clear how revolutionary this title is for the series.
I'm not really sure how they came to be but these controls have to be the best game controls I have ever played with. Everything works, everything is smooth and intuitive.
The graphics are exactly the same as the Gamecube version and they work well. The Resident Evil feel is still there somehow in spite of the fact that there are no zombies. In the opening scene, the first thing that you kill, you examine it and your character tells you, it's not a zombie.
I love this game.
Capcom, can you please make more Resident Evil games for Wii?
