Resident Evil Archives gives Wii gamers the opportunity to play classic Resident Evil games they may have missed at a great value price. Experience the beginning of the Resident Evil saga with the remake of the game that started the survival horror genre, Resident Evil.
The Raccoon City Police Department doesn't know what happened to the Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.) team it sent out to investigate the Arklay Mountain area, where a number of people have recently gone missing. The unit's helicopter seems to have crashed in the woods, and it hasn't received any contact from the squad since. The department decides to dispatch another S.T.A.R.S. unit, the Alpha team, to check things out… but something goes terribly wrong. Read More »
You take control of S.T.A.R.S. Alpha team members Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine (both recently seen in the smash hit, Resident Evil 5). Your mission is to investigate the ominous mansion at the core of the horrific disaster and uncover the secrets behind a radical, genetic research facility.

It's more of a port, the only new feature is Wii remote controls, they didn't even add additional video options!

Picked this up on sunday. I played the original on the PSX back in the day and had a blast. I somehow ended up skipping all the sequels until the Wii edition of 4 and the 360 version of 5. I have to say, going back to the tank controls and funky camera angles was a hell of a jolt and it's taking some time to get used to it. I suggest the sideways Wiimote control scheme as the D pad works better than the stick. I was also bummed that it doesn't fill my widescreen TV, but as it's a port I guess it was expected. Still, the game is a beauty to behold(the prerendered graphics look amazingly lifelike) and it really is scary. Far scarier than the new action heavy versions. As long as you want a good horror adventure game, this is a great buy in my opinion. Especially if you missed this on the gamecube, like me.

Still the best Resident Evil game along with part two. Here's an tip for people who want to get the game to fill their widescreen tv's: Set your Wii screen settings to 4:3. This will do the trick. I was actually bloody dissapointed that i had to figure out a way to get the game 'wider'
well it did the trick...
