As always, there’s more that players can ask for. For instance, I would’ve liked if the game’s environments could be interacted with more than just picking up ammo, key items, weapons, medical herbs, or random notes. There are many areas in the game that feature extravagant furniture and ornaments, and I would’ve loved to destroy some of this stuff, but even if you were to fire a rocket at them, you won’t find single scratch. In that sense the game still has that "static" feel of its predecessors, although, despite this little demand of mine, Resident Evil 4 is without question one of the better looking Wii games available, however, it’s not like this says much because there are hi-def games for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 that put this game to shame, but that should be expected at this point.

Resident Evil 4’s auditory traits are just as great as its visuals. The series has always been known for its eerily disturbing soundtrack and RE4’s stays true to the series but also adds more color to the game. "How" you say? Well, whenever Leon is surrounded by a number of enemies, or whenever you’re in danger, the intensity of the game’s soundtrack picks up as blood is being spilled. While that’s not anything too out of the ordinary for games in modern times, the execution of it in RE4 is ace.

Interestingly, it’s not the game’s soundtrack that makes the RE4’s audio aspect so great. The sounds of gunfire and other ambience are just so incredibly satisfying. The thundering sound of firing shotgun rounds into the skull of an enemy, while seeing and hearing his skull splatter, is disturbingly satisfying. Also the moaning and cursing of the game’s enemies really add to the game’s eerie atmosphere. You’ll know if an enemy is near you but where it exactly is you don’t.

Many people like to claim that a staple of the Resident Evil series is its sometimes laughable voice acting. Well, the newer installments in the series have continously improved the voice acting in the games with each new game and Resident Evil 4 is the best example of good voice acting and dialogue in a RE game. There had never been a time when I questioned or cringed at any of the game’s dialogue.

Still Worth Your While
There is no question that Resident Evil 4 is one of the better action games released in the past few years. It’s almost revolutionary because you can witness its affect on other popular action games such as Gears of War and the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 4, which copy its highly effective over-the-shoulder perspective and aiming mechanic. There’s not much that you can say against it and with the Wii Edition of the game you can now pick up the most accessible and complete version of the game to date. Not to forget, the Wii Edition also retails for a reduced price of $29.99 and for the amount of content the game features, it’s definitely a steal. If you haven’t played RE4 yet, now is the time. Just don’t expect any revolutionary changes in this Wii Edition, it’s just a port after all.
