I am a big resi fan and brought this to tide me over while waiting for RE5 on ps3(which has now disappeared from the release schedule) Playing the game was more like watching a film with little input from me. Each scene moves at its on pace with an occasional cut scene then point and click a few times and it moves on again. RE4 is much better. Needless to say the game moved on to someone else's collection quite quickly sadly.

I'm just going to say the main point. Buy Resi 4 instead of this, it's much better.

Great game with a good use of wii controls.
I gotta say its a bit boring in single player mode but great fun with a friend in two player and it will keep you coming back for more plus its not easy so be prepared to spend some time on it.
Graphics are good the only thing i dint like is the lack of control although i keep finding myself comparing it to res evil 4 and realy its a completley different game. As a shoot em up id say UP THERE WITH THE BEST. not the best res evil though thats without a doubt res 4 for the wii.
