This game is NOT a port, it's a conversion. I'll explain what that means later on.
Because this is the Wii can't expect the same level of graphical polish, or number of on-screen zombies. What you can expect is a much richer experience, than what the original version has to offer!
This version of this game runs on the RE4 Wii engine. This means the following pros/cons.
+ Flawless aiming system.
+ More guns at your disposal, unlike the first game you can reload these!
+ Special moves are easier to pull off, making them actually useful!
- Jumping is gone.
- No photography.
As I mentioned there are some technical limitations, but the downgrade isn't all that bad! And the zombies have been made both smarter, and much more aggressive. They also respawn faster! You WILL find yourself backed against a wall, or surrounded from all sides very often!
There are new zombies as well! Poodles and Parrots, which as absurd as that sounds they present a threat, more-so as the game progresses.
In addition to the animal zombies there are zombie version of Kent, Jo, and Cliff to content with.
One story aspect that changes, is the fate of one of the game's psychopaths, you end up saving his life, and he provides you a valuable service!
Otis no longer calls you all the time! He hands you out rescue missions, and rewards you for rescuing survivors. If you do really good he gives you prizes!
The save system has been improved! No longer can you accidentally erase your save! You also get 20 save slots!
Remember how you were constantly had to beat the clock? Those days are over! You have all the time in the world during story missions, and you only have to hurry on rescue missions if you want a better grade! This also has extra modes not found in the 360 version!
Don't listen to fanboys and harsh "pro" reviews. I spent my money on this, and I am telling you that this is a great game! If you found DR on the 360 a fun but lacking experience, or don't have a 360, BUY THIS!
