- Certain weapons can destroy environments and items. Shoot objects and watch them splinter, explode and disintegrate. Hidden items may sometimes be found after destroying objects.

- Interactive paths – choose various routes and pathways through the game.

- Multiple weapons, including pistols, submachine guns, rocket launchers, the trusty knife, grenades and many more.

- Classic locations from previous Resident Evil games in full 3D, including the mansion from the original and RE 0, and elements of Raccoon City from RE2 and 3. In addition, explore the Russian stage, a completely new location as well as Umbrella’s stronghold, which holds many secrets to events throughout the RE series

- Returning characters from many RE games, including Billy Coen, Rebecca Chambers, Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine and Carlos Oliveira.

Well, that’s all fine and good, but I think most of us would much rather see Resident Evil 5 come to the Wii than another one of these filler RE games that Capcom like to pump out for a few quick extra bucks. But with RE 5 only headed to PS3 and Xbox 360, I guess Wii owners will have to take what they can get.

There’s no doubt in my mind that RE 5 will eventually make it to the Wii just as part 4 did, but who knows when that will be? Let’s just be thankful we’re getting some Resident Evil games at all.
