The Wii version of Biohazard 4 features nunchuk + Wii remote control which makes for a new interactive experience. Early in the game, Ingrid sends Leon a communiqué which contains a few pages of Wii Remote controller functionality to shoot, kick, and otherwise beat back enemies in expeditious fashion. The first house that Leon visits where the guy tending the fire suddenly plays the role of maniacal killer will have you aiming the Wii Remote feverishly to blast him away. Occasional Wii Remote wagging is also required of the player where the remote must be shaken from side to side to break free of the grip of an enemy or to run from a large boulder ala Indiana Jones in the Raiders of the Lost Ark movie.

» The movie in the EXTRAS section features English text with Japanese subtitles. It's funky zombies and agents stealthily scouting out areas with some killing and an appearance by Wesker. Later in the cinema, the bullets fly ferociously as agents kill zombies with wild abandon.

» Biohazard 4 Wii requires the nunchuk to be connected before being able to proceed into the game. The thumbstick on the nunchuk is used to move Leon around and the C button is used to switch weapons. To run, press and hold Z on the Nunchuk and then move Leon through the d-pad. On the Wii Remote, the d-pad swivels the camera around, the B button aims, and the A button fires the gun once as long as the B button is pressed. Once aimed, use the motion of the Wii Remote to aim the cursor around the screen. There's a sense of urgency when playing BH4 on the Wii since your aim must be good to avoid getting smacked.

» To access inventory and use items, press the "-" button on the Wii Remote. To bring up an area map, press the "1" button to view the entire locality.

» The game starts off with English voice over and English text on screen with Japanese subtitles on the bottom of the screen. The voice over reads off the dialogue shown as it explains the background of the game and Umbrella's demise after the events of the first Biohazard games. Six years later, strange things are afoot once again when an agent is riding in the back of a car with two local policemen. He's looking for the President's missing daughter. The dialogue between the foreign cops and Leon is voiced by actors. They direct him towards the village and tell him that they'll stay in the car. Most if not all of the dialogue is voiced by actors.

» The intro to the game recounts the Umbrella corporation's shenanigans in the Arklay mountains near Raccoon City. The sterilization of Raccoon City and how the US government stopped the actions of the Umbrella Corporation are also retold. Six years later, Leon is on a trip as a sort of bodyguard for the new president and his job is to find his missing daughter named Ashley Graham. While seated in the back seat of a car driven by local police - they have a chat that's tinged with a bit of rivalry. One of the agents takes a wizz at the side of the road and he seems to notice something about to approach him when he shakes it off, enters the car, and they all drive away.

» The trio approaches a village and Leon goes on to investigate by himself. The policia aren't too willing to accompany him. Later, Ingrid Hunnigan contacts Leon by video phone and tells him that she'll be his contact. After that bit of conversation, Leon is shown hefting a gun with both hands and he walks into the outskirts of the village. Leon enters a house and encounters a guy tending a fireplace. The guy looks like Indio (played by Gian Maria Volonte) from the Spaghetti Western movies featuring Clint Eastwood. The guy grabs an axe and is about to whack Leon so it's time to aim and fire away. Three shots does him in. Later when Leon leaves the house, three locals armed with scythes and knives assault him but they're also simple cannon fodder since they sort of lumber around and aren't very smart. According to Capcom, they are not zombies however. Whatever. For most of the locals who attack with pitchforks and assorted farm equipment, three shots will usually put them down. Alternately, one bullet to blow them back followed by a crushing roundhouse kick also seems to work.

» In one of the shacks, there's a woman who's been pitchforked through the head so that she hangs from a wall. Leon's comment when he sees her is, "Guess there's no sex discrimination here."

» When enemies are shot, they'll recoil and dance like the bullets are really smashing into their bodies. When Leon slashes with his knife, the targets will also scream and grip their wounded body parts. There are some gruesome reactions when Leon slices, dices, and performs his close range kick on the foes. The bodies will bubble away on the ground once they've been put down.

» Before Leon enters the main portion of the village, he may take a look at what the villagers are doing. They've caught one of the policemen from earlier and have impaled him above a bristling bonfire. The bottom of his pants and his shoes are ablaze while lumbering villagers walk around carting stuff, pitchforking, lumbering. The battle that ensues is fairly horrific even by our jaded standards.

» A total of 20 save slots are available to record your progress. When saved, the header information consists of Chapter, Saves, Time, Round, Mode. All menus are in English and the game is import friendly.

» Leon can save a wolf from a bear trap by opening up the trap's maw. If Leon steps into a hidden trap a few steps down the road, he'll walk with a limp afterwards if his HP gauge is down to 3 bars.

» After killing a few "zombies," Hunnigan appears on the communication link and sends a playing manual over to Leon which contains four pages. Learn how to reload by moving the Wii Remote up and down while holding down the B button, how to kick attack, and changing weapons by pressing the C button on the nunchuk.

» The Wii Remote is waddled back and forth sideways to get out of enemy death grips. When you exit the town, some locals will push a big boulder down on Leon so he'll have to vamoose ala Indiana Jones. To run from it, wag the Wii Remote from side to side vigorously and then press A+B to duck to the side and escape its deadly trajectory. Later on, when a villager cleaves downwards with a massive axe, wag the Wii Remote again so that you and your new friend's bonds are severed by the killing stroke.
