The latest offering for Resident Evil fans is RE4. This one is a port, originally released for Gamecube, PS2, & PC, for the Wii, but it has been completely remodeled for the Wii’s touch sensitive controls. These changes have made taking the role of Leon S. Kennedy a joy for new gamers and a whole new experience for previous gamers.

Leon must rescue the president’s kidnapped daughter, not an simple task, especially when you have an army of zombies chasing you. This game offers up the weird zombies and monsters in authentically creepy locales like: rundown farmhouses, cursed churches, and other spooky spot as well. The array of weapons: shotguns, pistols, and many other type of firearms. Even the aim feature has been improved with the addition of a reticle to precisely aim at your target, very handy when you’ve got half-dead, pale psychos waiting to kill you.

If you have surround sound, now would be a excellent time to use it. RE4 has one of the best soundtracks out for a horror game, period. The creepy wails of the monstrous bosses or the disturbing grumbling before the villagers attempt to harm you with pitchforks are truly horrific and, at times, seem too authentic.

This shooter reminds us why we like Resident Evil so much. The series has really grown to appeal to mainstream audiences. This is mainly in part to the shooter game genre’s growing popularity. This game is one of the more darker from the, already dark, Resident Evil series. The narratives are excellently delivered. The in-game cut scenes add a very nice touch with their impressive graphics and fascinating plots. The storyline truly draws you in and the gameplay keeps you there. At prices around $30, buying Resident Evil 4 is a no-brainer.
