The Resient Evil team have once again made suvival horror games interesting once more. With all the dissapointments in recent years like Silent Hill 4: The Room i did'nt expect much from Resident Evil 4 as i classed Survival Horror as a dying genre, however they have raised the bar substantially with Resident Evil 4. Unlike the origional stlye this game does not have a fixed camera position which improves the experience a lot. There are also no zombies so to speak they have been replaced by a whole new style of enemy who can now also weild weapons giving Resident Evil 4 a bit more of a first person shooter type theme. There are also a vast amount of different boss fight all with different ways to kill them strategy is important.

The targeting system has been improved there are of course sniper scopes for some weapons and heat seeking scopes are needed in later chapters, but most of your weapons will have a laser targeing system which allows you to use many stateagies to take down your enemies. if you find yourself facing a horde of enemies you can shoot the front few in the legs to make them stumble and then run up and kick them away from you to save ammo. There is a vast inventory of weapons and saving ammo really matters on the harder difficulty levels of the game.

You now also have an improved invnetory box which youc an expand by 3 sizes to allow you to carry more which you will be grateful of beleive me. there is also a merchant who will appear in different sections of the game and allow you to sell items like jewellery and buy new weapons or upgrade your old ones. He will also be the clerk at a few Shooting ranges throughout the game at which you can enter to win prizes and collectables.

All in all i give Resident Evil 4 10 out of 10 it is deffinately a must have for any Playstation 2 or gamecube owner. The graphics are superb and the atmosphere is intense you will not be dissapointed by it beleive me. By it, Play it , Love it. Happy Gaming.

Resident Evil 4 puts you in control of Leon S. Kennedy. An agent who is investigating the kidnapping of the presidents daughter. His search leads him to a rural part of Spain. Upon his arrival there he sonn finds out that he is in the middle of a conspiracy, led by Osmond Saddler. Its up to Leon to defeat Saddler and his followers and to rescue the first daughter.

This is a great game. Not only is it one of the best for the Playstation 2, but it's one of the best of all time. The graphics are some of the best the PS2 has to offer. But the true greatness of this game lies in its gameplay and story, bith of which are wonderful. If you haven't played this game yet you are missing out on a great experiance.

10/10

I would like to say this game in amazing i wasnt a big Resident evil intill i played number 4 the graphics are amazing you play as Leon (my name to) you meet people like Luis and Ada. This Game hasnt got any zombies in my way it made much much better, but to some people it might not but it has other enemys that are much scarier. One of the most things what i liked was there is now no fixed cam so it makes it much better. You get sometimes when you need to press buttons to void things that is a good thing in the game, like if some one trying to kill you in a cut seen and kills you then then it leads on to a death cut scean, but if you press buttons in time then you succed thanks for Reading my review

Since its debut on the PlayStation in 1996, the genre-defining Resident Evil series has had its ups and downs, though it's always remained at the forefront of survival horror games. Yet it's not enough to call Resident Evil 4 one of the high points of the series, because this is probably the single greatest horror-themed action game ever created. Resident Evil 4 is an amazing achievement in a variety of ways, especially in how its inspired, state-of-the-art cinematic presentation works so well with its relentlessly exciting, white-knuckle action, all of which is wrapped up in a decidedly lengthy adventure chock-full of hidden secrets and bonus extras. It obviously isn't for the squeamish or for those otherwise not qualified to play this gory, mature-rated GameCube game, which is too bad for them, because it's hard to imagine anyone else not being consistently thrilled and impressed by what Resident Evil 4 has to offer.



Resident Evil 4 is much more than an excellent sequel. It's one of the greatest action games in years.
In case it isn't abundantly clear, you don't need to be a Resident Evil fan to appreciate Resident Evil 4. However, Resident Evil fans will recognize the game's well-groomed protagonist Leon S. Kennedy, a wisecracking government agent investigating an inconspicuous European village where the US president's missing daughter was supposedly sighted. Experiencing the events of the game without really knowing what else to expect is a big part of the fun, so suffice it to say the story is filled with surprises, and it further does a great job of continually ratcheting up the sense of danger and tense excitement you'll feel right from the get-go. The story unfolds through some beautifully rendered and choreographed cinematic cutscenes, as well as through occasional notes you'll find. Yet these aren't the game's strongest suit, nor are they the focus of it, since the dialogue is hammy and thankfully brief. The story's there to give fans of the series something new to ponder, though it mostly exists to create a context for all of Resident Evil 4's action sequences. Basically, it helps make the game suspenseful and entices you to keep playing just to see what happens next.

Resident Evil 4 is being appropriately billed as the game that takes the series in a bold, new direction. This seems immediately apparent just minutes after the game begins, when Leon is confronted not by the sorts of mindless zombies that typified previous Resident Evil installments, but by a haggard man who seems decidedly displeased by Leon's presence and completely ignores the threat of his 9mm pistol as he menacingly approaches, axe in hand. The cover of the box depicts these sorts of torch-and-pitchfork-wielding disgruntled natives whom Leon will be dealing with in Resident Evil 4, so the question you'll be wondering is, what exactly are these Spanish-speaking folks' major malfunctions that cause them to want to murder Leon by any means necessary, and without any concern for their own safety? The game's humanoid enemies seem much more unsettling than your typical zombies, since they show basic signs of intelligence, yet their hatred for Leon far eclipses their own survival instinct. Still, it'll take just one slash of a sickle or one pitchfork gouging to teach you to terminate these savages without hesitation. They're creepy, memorable foes. And, without spoiling anything, they're just the tip of the iceberg.

Despite Resident Evil 4's unique controls and perspective, it's easy to come to grips with how the game is played. In fact, it might leave you wondering why it took someone so long to pull off a game in this fashion, because the controls and perspective work so well. Resident Evil 4 is presented in cinematic widescreen, so if you have a standard television set, you'll view the action in letterbox format. This not only contributes to the game's movielike feel, but it also gives you some much-needed peripheral vision of your surroundings. You view the action from behind Leon, and the perspective zooms in to a close, over-the-shoulder view when you ready a weapon, which you can easily aim using its laser sight. Realistically, Leon doesn't have a perfectly steady hand when aiming, but since most of the combat occurs in brutal close quarters, you don't usually need pinpoint accuracy to get the job done. You cannot move and fire at the same time, nor can you strafe from side to side as you can in a typical shooter, though Resident Evil 4 plays very much like a shooter otherwise. The zoomed view while aiming works great for drawing a bead on your enemies, but you naturally lose some of your situational awareness in the process, because you can see more of your periphery when you're not aiming at what's in front of you.



Exquisitely detailed environments and some unforgettable foes await.
This dynamic has an exceptional way of heightening tension, since your foes love trying to surround you. They move and behave with frightening realism in the context of the game, and overall, the enemy design in Resident Evil 4 is truly outstanding. There are many things that look terribly lifelike and will send a chill down your spine, making you desperately want to kill them before they kill you first, in some sort of horrible fashion. Fortunately, the controls feel like they're tuned just right to give the game the same sort of pacing inherent to an action horror movie. The absence of the ability to sidestep doesn't hurt gameplay and instead accentuates the toe-to-toe confrontations, while the ability to quickly turn around using a simple controller command is more than welcome. The game expertly makes you feel that you're both watching a freaky, nail-biting movie about Leon and actually walking in his shoes. In fact, despite the high quality of the action, some of the best moments are the purely suspenseful ones when you're exploring while knowing full well that things aren't going to remain this quiet for long.

Resident evil is a very fun game and will always keep you entertained you can customize your weapons and find many secrets and unlock them although there is an ammo problem for me.... anyway I somehow always manage to run out of ammo and keep dieing to things that take alot.

The enemies in this game are perfect they are not to hard nor to easy and you have a knife for backup which doesnt help.

Because if you get close enough to use it you will be getting hurt by the enemies, well I really like this game so I give it a 9 out of 10.
