Mostly, it's still a third person view so it's a hybrid in a way. I'm playing through it for my first time and I like it on the Wii. It's not really a different game though, which I gather from having watched people play it on the PS2.

No, see, the difference is that RE4 is fun and RE2 isn't.

I do believe, I do play on a TV, and I do use a controller. The magic of running MAME on an Xbox. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

A LITTLE more actiony?

List of awesome things you can do in RE4:

- Roundhouse kick "zombies" in the face (sometimes causing head-explodage)
- Suplex "zombies" (sometimes resulting in head-crushing)
- Freeze a dude with liquid nitrogen then shatter him
- Climb on a giant mutant zombie's back and stab him repeatedly
- Pin a midget to the wall by his hand (admittedly this is in a cutscene)
- Throw incendiary grenades into the middle of a big flock of crows
- Look up the president's daughter's skirt

A game which contains all of these things cannot be considered a "little" more actiony. It is a LOT more actiony. Which is good, because I have the attention span of a sugared-up two year old.
