Product Description:
In Resident Evil 4 you'll know a new type of horror, as the classic survival-horror action returns with all-new characters, controls and storylines. We last saw Leon S. Kennedy in Resident Evil 2 - a rookie cop in Raccoon City, fighting to stay alive. That was six years ago. Since then, government forces have managed to control the zombie threat and Leon has become a Federal agent. When the President's daughter is kidnapped, Leon tracks her to a remote, hidden fortress in Europe - where he'll relive the horror he faced six years before. Players will face never-before-seen enemies that make Nemesis seem like a kitten. You'll be wishing for the usual Resident Evil zombies!

- Leon Saves Ashley... Again... and Again.
So I'm not much of a gamer. This review might be useless to the die hard gamers who obviously loved this game, but I think it might appeal to casual fans of gaming. I've played my fair share of video games, both sensationally senseless fun ones and more serious ones like this, so I think I'll be able to give this a fair rating.

THE GAME: Very easy gameplay. The control one has over shooting, slashing, and walking is very comfortable and realistic. The areas are expansive, which is good if you plan on playing multiple times. One will definitely develop more familiarity with each of the levels each time they replay, but I thought that the maps were a bit complex and confusing to totally get the first time. Again, that added to the realism but it also brought the fun factor down a bit when you're wandering aimlessly looking for the next place to go. Overall, the boss battles were fair. The majority of them were hard enough to challenge you, but not hard enough to get you cursing and giving up. Because if you can't beat 'em, but go to the dude with the blue torch and get a rocket launcher. Indeed, the blue torch guy is a merchant who sells guns, health, maps, and carrying space, and he comes in very handy. Those guys as well as save points are spread out fairly. While I felt the game could have been shorter--the initial outdoor area dragged on for entirely too long--it was a good and obviously well thought out experience.

STORY: It's a bit shabby. It's less about zombies and more about a crazy cult with many monsters and more ambition, which is of course more epic, but the general plot left a lot to be desired. The majority of the game is looking for Ashley, finding her, getting her taken away, looking for her again, finding her, etc. The various villains add a bit of spice, but it was a bit cheesy that there were so many Major Villains that were set up to be the Big Boss before the real Big Boss was revealed. Again, it just seemed like things could have been tightened to make the story better. Also, the dialogue? Sad fact, someone got paid to write that atrocious dialogue.

COMPARED TO OTHER "RESIDENT EVIL" GAMES: Much better. Less monotony, more variety. While I missed the more personal creepiness of walking through a scary house infected with zombies, this is definitely a better game.

COMPARED TO ALL VIDEO GAMES: Fair. Not as ground-breakingly great as some of the reviews I've read say, but definitely still a game worth your time.

7/10

- Oh ok... wow. That is all I can say
Haven't beaten it... and haven't even gotten half way in the game but.. WOW. This game is engrossing. Is it perfect in every way? As far as games go... yes. Not to sound pansy here but you will definately get a rush of adrenline when you meet and greet the foes in this game. The pop of the heads getting blown off is just plain cool. In most games of this type you expect to just walkthrough blowing away everyone with no worries. Not here... you better pay attention and think or you will get an axe burried in your head. Awesome stuff.

This is probably the coolest game I've ever run across.

- A Most Cohesive Experience
Resident Evil 4 shuns some of the frustrating mechanics of previous RE games in favor of pure adventure gameplay. The plot is decent and the enemies memorable, but the real draw of the game is its ability to draw you forward. Each section of the game is a setpiece, meaning that each level, populated with original enemies and memorable scripted events lingers in the memory long after you play it. Upgrading your weapons and equipment is addictive and finding strategies to conserve ammo is a must and quite enjoyable. The experience is loaded with minigames and bonus games. Probably my favorite single-player experience of all time.

- An amazing game that revolutionizes both the Resident Evil series and the survival horror genre.
Nearly everyone who has played Resident Evil 4 will tell you at the very least that it was a welcome change to the survival horror genre. While some may not agree with the Game of the Year title, most will at least agree that the game is great, and a much needed step forward.

The graphics are extraordinary. It pushes the Gamecube to its limits. I'd go as far to say that it can hold its own against most console games around today. As far as it pushes the Gamecube, it still holds a solid frame rate throughout the game. The art design is well done, very dark and gloomy with some extremely gory moments.

The sound is awesome. Its high quality, and very creepy. All of the action sounds crisp, and I personally think that the gunshots sound exceptional. The sound alone can scare you, there's no real need for the insane Portuguese people, well okay, maybe there is.

The game play is where this game really shines. Its the awesome survival horror game play we all know and love, but revolutionized. There's an all new over the shoulder camera angle that is a huge improvement over the old traditional ones. The game controls perfect, and in combination with the new camera angle it makes the game amazingly fun. There's also the integration of action sequenced cut scenes and the almighty chainsaw. The storyline is a good length, and will keep you entertained for a while.

Lets face it here folks, even if you're a Gamecube hater, this game deserved Game of the Year. Plus, I don't what people are complaining about as the game is now also available on Playstation 2 and Wii. If you're a fan of survival horror, you will probably love this game.
