Japanese game magazine Famitsu were the first to review Resident Evil 4 on the Wii. Their verdict?

According to the magazine, which tasked four of their writers with reviewing the game, the content is almost identical to the GameCube version, but the Wiimote controls make the game feel fresh and different. One reviewer commented that the Wiimote controls made the player feel closer to the action, and increased the tension when hunting down the zombies.

Of the four reviewers, two of them gave the game a 10/10, and the other two gave it a 9/10. And while Famitsu are not exactly the toughest critics in the video game journalism industry, these scores appear to indicate that we have a lot to look forward to come release day on June 19th.

Gamers and critics alike let out a gasp of horrific glee when Resident Evil 4 kicked in the GameCube's door back in 2005. The fast-paced, over the shoulder splatterfest revitalized a franchise, considered by many to be in the same state of living decomposition as its undead antagonists. And it proved to the world that the Nintendo's system wasn't just for kiddies and fanboys. So our hopes are high that the upcoming Wii port will have the same "maturing" effect on the system, as well as silence ... » Read More

From the article:

"Pity the Resident Evil fanatic. Not only has the poor guy had to buy two chainsaw controllers and brave two Resident Evil movies (and now suffers cold sweats anticipating the third), but according to Famitsu, he'll now have to buy a third version of Resident Evil 4, this time for Wii.
