I played Resi 4 on Wii and the controls on that system were great. It was a bit scary for me but I struggled on through and am glad I did. Resi 5 I played on 360 in co-op. Co-op defuses the scares and the game was pretty good, although I'm never really a big fan of 3rd person games. I watched a playthrough of Resi 7 on Youtube because it was obvious to me that I would never have the guts to play it myself! -- -Toby Add the word afiduluminag to the subject to circumvent my email filters.
