I finally beat it.
I got the game in august of this year and I loved it. The only reason I didn't finish it sooner was because I had no time to play. It wasnt that I didn't have the skill to sit for 6 hours a day for three days and beat it, I just didn't have the time. So here is a very delayed review.

Story
You are Leon S. Kennedy, a government agent. the president's daughter has been kidnapped and you are assigned to save her. It is supposed to be a quick mission;in and out. But the villigers begin to atattack you and your drivers and all this bad stuff delays you. The basic idea is that something called the Las Plagas is infecting all of the towns people. You are eventually infected and more stuff happens. The story flows very well, and the characters and bosses are cool. The whole game is scary and creepy.
9.5/10

Gameplay
Probobly the most important part of a game. The camera is the classic RE style over the shoulder view. The guns are switched via a menu (much like SPM character and pixl selection) and to fire you have to hold down B and then hit A to fire. There are many different interactions throught the game, some are merchants, destrucable inviroments, and twisting hallways. Without going into a lot of detail, gameplay is quite good. The controls are intuetive and easy.
9.75/10

Graphics;
The wii has never been very good with graphics, the graphics in Re4 are good for the average wii game, but aren't much improvement from the GC version. One fatal flaw.
8.0/10

Replay value:
The replay value on this game is great. Once you beat the game so much stuff is unlocked. First is the option of a professional mode to play back through the game, and a new costume to wear, the R.P.D. uniform.
You also unlock a game mode called Seperate Ways, which lets you play as Ada Wong. This mode intertwines to the main game, for instance, in the beggining a swarm of villigers are attacking you, until a church bell rings and they all go to it. In Seperate Ways you must ring the curch bell for your first mission. Also unlocked in a game mode called mercinaries, and another that I can't remember. You also get a movie browser.
9.75/10


Overall:
One of my favorite games of all time. The fact that this game can keep you scared through it all is amazing. The replay is awesome. And so is the story. The controls rock, but the graphics lag.

Average score 9.25/10



Note: This is my first review. Tell me what is good and bad.

How can the graphics be a 'fatal flaw' if you gave them an 8/10?

Well, it looks like he has a different critique style.
Instead of dropping whole points, he drops .25's or so.
So naturally the final rating would be higher than normal.

The graphics were bad when compared to the rest of the game.
I really liked this game and thats why I only dropped .25 points...

Good review overall. I do have a few issues though:

You are incorrect. This game is very different from the classic RE games. All the old ones were mostly fixed-camera.

You should go into more detail. Since most of what you are doing is the game is shooting, you should describe the accuracy of the shooting and any problems you had. I had the GC version, so I am curious as to if the Wii controls are more enjoyable.

You should not make unjustified statements like that. And you should be reviewing the game, and not the console.

"fatal" means it a cause of death. 8/10 is far from dead. You should have said "The game's only flaw".

Playing the game over again with slight changes and some unlockables is nice, but 9.75 seems too high of a score.

Meh, Flavio personally disagrees with the score, though it's just Flavio's differing opinion. And Francis'll get pissed if Flavio goes all elite again with the whole "whatever Flavio says is fact," thing again...
