So Perfect It Had To Be Accidental

Wii10.00
Overall 10.00
When I finished this game I was asked "When was the last time you enjoyed a game that much?" It took me about a minute to come up with anything that approached the amount of fun and intensity that Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition (RE4W) provided, and then I could only come up with one game.*

Everything about RE4W is perfect, to avoid my being redundant just add "is/ are perfect" to the following words; the gameplay, the graphics, the pacing, the enemy design, the boss battles, the music, the voice acting, the controls and, yes, even the end credits are perfect.

By perfect I mean that the level of thought that was applied to each of those categories resulted in execution that would be hard to exceed and certainly at a level that I have not seen exceeded in any other game.

On top of that, this particular version of Resident Evil 4 includes almost another game's worth of extras. I had not played a Resident Evil game prior to RE4W, at least not for more than 4-7 minutes, so these perspectives are not seen through the gauze of nostalgia or fondness for the franchise. With the exception of Trauma Center I have not been particularly impressed with the Wii to this point either, but the control scheme of RE4W has made me a believer, to the point the next game I will be playing is Metroid Prime 3.

*That game was Yakuza.
