A great port of RE4 featuring the bonus features included in the PS2 version that Gamecube owners were not able to experience but with improved graphics and Wii-specific features such as IR aiming and motion controls.

The IR aiming brought a new light of variety in gameplay that allowed for precise shots and made playing Mercenaries more enjoyable (and perhaps easier to achieve 5 star rankings, thanks wiimote!). Motion controls during QTEs were sometimes hard to achieve and didn't really help with the immersion

All in all, this is a port of one of the most influential action games of all time and it's worth checking out since it brings new things to the table courtesy of the uniqueness of the Wii and its controls.
