Well, it may be the forth in the list of Resident Evil games, but it's the first one I've really played, and I like it. Not to mention, it's probably the best game for the Nintendo Wii. I got it several months ago and unlocked everything I could think of: Chicago Typewriter, Infinite Launcher, Handcannon, and I beat all the side games. I was feelin' pretty good, but kind of sad that I no longer had anything to unlock. So I put it away after I got Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. That game lasted one weekend, so...not very satisfying, but it was fun while it lasted.
Anyways, a friend of mine and I were talking about the game, and he asked me if I got the laser gun. I was a little surprised and had to say no. He told me that beating Professional mode would get it for me, and come to think of it...I had completely forgotten to beat that. So I'm back on it and boy is it tough stuff. The regular game the first way through was rather challenging, but professional mode is downright hard. So I'm workin' my way through that right now in my Chicago-style clothing, and Ashley's in her coat of armor so all is well in the world. I'll let you know how the laser gun is, if it does in fact give it to me for beating this.
Anyways, about the game: It's a third-person-shooter kinda like Zelda, except with more gore, guns, and ghoulies. It's quite a bit different -I've heard- from the other RE games, and I was a bit disappointed at the commercials when I saw them a few years ago. However, the lack of zombies, Umbrella Corporation, and the STARs don't take away from this game at all. The "interactive" cut scenes can be a bit annoying especially when you aren't expecting to have to swing the controller while you're just talkin' with some one, but that's what makes it exciting. The game really has more action than the creepiness that all the other REs have, but it's still a terrific game. The game for the Wii is a bit different in that you can unlock everything that the PS2 and Gamecube versions had. It's also nice to be able to incorporate some Wiimote handling into the combat system, although it gets very tiring during the long sprinting cut scenes. Aiming is definitely on the plus side from the other systems, since you can just point at the TV instead of using that hard to control laser pointer that seemed to be on all your weapons (even Krauser's bow in Mercenaries). This game is pretty good the first time through, definitely challenging, and it is really fun in the next rounds through, because you get to keep all your stuff, Diablo-style. So it's certainly an excellent game for the Wii, and it'll probably stay my favorite until Super Smash Bros. Brawl comes out.
