But it was still terrible. I honestly can't see what people enjoy about it. It is you against the controls, rather than you against -enemies-.
It was probably a combination of many things. RE4 itself is a tough game and the controls for it is a bit unusual when I first started playing it. My first reaction was that this game would of faired better if the controls were more like an FPS controls, where you can strafe and stuff(ala Gears of War). And I did have a hard time adjusting to it at first, but once you really get into it, it all starts to make sense of why the controls are the way they are. The aiming and stuff comes with time for any console shooter, but the fact that you have to press multiple buttons in order to attack is definately unfamilar to all to us. But it works and by halfway through the game it becomes second nature.
The only gripes I had about this game is the inability to switch weapons without having to go into you inventory and select it. And the fact that you learn about the plot of the game by finding other peoples diary notes seemed too convient. Other than that, this is definatley one of the best game I've ever played. And will probably be the best game on the Wii so far...
