Awsome game a lot of fun to be had. It is a must own. The game has everything you could hope for goodgraphics, spectacular gameplay, a lengthy storyline that will take time to complete. The game is scary at times and will keep you on the edge. The game does not lack much. It is worth the money.

Jumping on the bandwagon of the best RE game ever.

This is the best Resident Evil game to date, even tough the first game was the most memorable. There are so much depth and varies in this game that I have not seen since Final Fantasy. Who care if the Game Cube version is better looking, this is still the best looking PS2 game out there. The detail, environment, texture mapping, layout, game options are all well done.

What to like:
-The weapon system is more realistic. How it work in the real world to how it is being played is much better then ever. The scoping element was used very little in Code: Veronica, but is a main stay here. Collecting money for upgrade from a merchant is nice.
-The game-play and movement is much improved with a new graphic engine. The over the shoulder action give the game a true 3D-element where your enemies are, but not like a window view of a 1st person shooter.
-The bosses are way different; some are fast, some are slow, jumping, there are weak spots, special techniques to take them out. Past RE, all you have to do is use the most powerful weapon and just blasts them to death, but not here. The minions are much smarter then ever, even invisible.
-The element of protecting Ashley, the key to the story give an added element to the game-play.
-Intense actions that actually will raise your blood pressure, the background music is great.
-Not as scary as the original game. RE4 is design for action and the puzzle are fewer, but clever.

The not so good:
They took out the item chest, where you can collect and dump everything is gone.
This is a 2nd or 1st person perspective game, which give me mild headache. I have to sit as far as I can and play for a limited time.
This could be good or bad, but the game is a much harder and longer game then any RE out there. I though Code: Veronica was hard, this is about 20% more difficult. A guide book really helps.

I got the platinum edition and the only thing worth it is the metal chase. The other items, card and mini series bio is useless. This is a game of all action games. Just play it to enjoy this masterpiece.

RE4

Owning a PS2 and no other consoles when you're a Resident Evil fan is really frustrating. Consider what you've dealt with up until now. The only real good game so far was Code Veronica. Even that one was definitely not without its flaws. Outbreak files 1 and 2, unless you're into online gaming, were really a waste of time. You can buy the PS1 games, if you're able to get your hands on them. Essentially, you're still waiting for the ultimate RE experience.
RE4 has answered a lot of prayers and demands. The controls are a breath of fresh air (how they should be). The graphics are dramatically improved. There's more of a variety of things to battle. It's a lot longer than its predecessors, which means a lot more gameplay and replay time. It's definitely not easy. I've owned the game for close to a month and haven't beaten it yet on the initial difficulty setting (note, most games I solve in week or less).
That was the praise. Now for the complaints. It's not much, though. I did give it 4 stars.
The main complaint is that it's just not as scary as the others. There aren't even true zombies. They came up with the idea to make the new regular (non-boss) enemies not actually dead (or undead, for you pc fanatics). They were infected by something that made them be controlled, like puppets. There are 2 types, the villagers and the zealots. They're smarter now and they can actually throw things at you and wield weapons like crossbows and chainsaws. It's all well and good, but the zombies added that essential creepiness that this game is lacking. My only other complaint is that the Merchant (the guy that you can buy supplies from) never sells ammo.
Overall, I think this game is an evolution for the franchise and is a must for all fans. For RE5, maybe they'll reintroduce the zombies on a newer, scarier level.

What a great game! YOU WILL GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH HERE!

Resident Evil 2 was the reason I bought a PS-1. Resident Evil 4 is perhaps one of the best for the PS-2. It is a fantastic game! It has the great graphics, good storyline, great gameplay, and furthurmore a good coninuance of a awesome series that make for a game that really warrants a good buy.

Along the storyline, we can see a great story that keeps the gamer involved and tied in. The survival horror overtone is constant and there are moments that actually made me jump in my seat...others made me squirm! One of the good notes in the storyline is just how it takes from previous episodes with a whole new 'evil.' The enemy is not the Umbrella corporation (although there are some tie-ins) but an anchient parasite that controls the bodies and minds of the spanish villagers/Garados (Cattle) and actually twists them to become "intelligent foes" as opposed to the virus laden zombies of pervious episodes. They scream at you in gutteral spanish things such as "!Mata Lo!" (Kill Him) and pursue you with animal tenacity carring weaopons ranging from flails and pitchforks to chainsaws and rocketlaunchers. Taking them down is a bloody affair as is some of the scenes where that take you down (especially the chainsaw...)

I wouldn't let very young players near it as it is rather violent and bloody. Then again, I'm pretty sure some most of the enemies are so fantastic and vile that unless someone has some severe delusions one could easily seperate reality from fantasy.

The lenghth of the game is what won me over. It also cannot be solved in 6 hours like so many platform games. If all platform games were this long I would have a tough time calling myself a "primarily PC gamer." The extras ensure that you will want to keep playing after you win it the first time as well! When I buy a game for 30 to 50$ and can win it in half a day in one sitting then I really have to ask just what is preventing me from returning it or even exchanging it? This one however is a keeper!

Incidently, many reviewers were crowing on just how much better the visuals were on the Gamecube version. I didn't really see the difference myself on a friends Gamecube and furthurmore I really don't own a Gamecube and don't have money (mine or my mommy and daddy's) to buy one. As far as I am concerned you were playing the same exact game as I was, so get over your little one-platform-is-hands-down-better-than-the-other spat!

The greatest Resident Evil game of all time is now on the PS2

After proving to be the greatest Resident Evil game of all time when released last year on the Gamecube, Resident Evil 4 makes it's bloody debut on the PS2, and the good news is that it retains just about every excellent feature that made Resident Evil 4 a game so good that it was worth buying a Gamecube for alone. The first thing you'll notice is that the graphics aren't as mouth watering as they were on the Gamecube, but RE4 still looks amazing in this PS2 conversion. You play as Leon Kennedy, six years after the Raccoon City disaster of Resident Evil 2, and you're on a mission to rescue the President's daughter. You're led to a creepy town where the locals, well, let's just say they're not too happy to see you. I don't want to say much more about the story so not to ruin it for those who haven't played this, but make no mistake that it's the best storyline you'll ever see in a Resident Evil game. The enemies are challenging and the boss battles are nothing short of epic, making RE4 the most action packed edition of the series yet. The controls aren't as responsive as they should be, in fact, they can be downright clunky when they want to be, but for the most part they don't deter how amazing this game really is. Capcom threw in some extras here as well, including side missions where you can play as the mysterious Ada Wong and alternate costumes and such. Make no mistake, Resident Evil 4 is the best RE game ever made, and just like it was on the Gamecube, this PS2 conversion is an absolute must own.

Great Game

I am impressed with this game. I haven't played a good, solid game in a long while, and this game has got me smiling.

Controls: Simple and easy. Moving around could be a little less clumsy, but overall, I had very little issues with them.

Graphics: The graphics are great, period. One of the better looking games for the PS2.

Gameplay: It took me a little while to get a handle of the controls but when I got it all down, I was moving along. Some parts of the game require several tries to get through. It can get very tedious. I also don't like escorting the presidents daughter through so much of the game. Keeping her alive can be a pain. I often wish that the game would take her off my hands, I like going solo. Don't forget that conserving your ammo is a must. I thought that it would be ridiculous trying to get through the game counting ammo, but it isn't as bad as I thought.

Sound: The music and sounds play a big part in the game. The music score will activate when you are threatened and will go silent when the threats are clear. The voices of threats can also help keep you from walking straight into one or help you pinpoint where they are.

Replay Value: 2 of 5. I don't see myself jumping back on and playing through the game anytime soon, but it is fun to hop on once in awhile and blow some stuff away.

Overall: Fun and entertaining. I was very happy with this game and urge anyone to give it a try.

an amazing game

Resident Evil 4 is an extremely well-developed game. No more is it zombies that plague the player. Rather, escape from a mysterious, and deadly village in Spain becomes the goal.

The gameplay is predominantly a first-person shooter, however, you can see your character at all times. In addition, the gameplay has become predominantly action with only minimal puzzle-solving.

The graphics are just amazing. As you watch a maddened villager charge you, your sense of panic increases. Can you maintain a cool head and shoot accurately? It is really exciting.

Also, there are some interesting special features for this game, featuring Ada Wong and a few other individuals in "The Mercernaries." There are some really fun times. It is a great game, and I think most Resident Evil fans will be satisfied.

Amazing!

Although nothing can ever have the same impact that the first Resident Evil did in 1996,the latest installment in this series is nothing short of amazing.The sound is great,as are the graphics, and it is challenging,intense,scary,and takes a long time to complete.If you have a PS2,you must buy it!

Resident Evil 4... A Fine Return to Form......

Resident Evil has seen many highs and lows in the years since its' debut on the Playstation in 1996. I, personally, lost interest in the series after RE3:Nemesis. While I played RE: Code Veronica X, it just seemed to me it was the same ol' same ol' all over again. So, I went with Silent Hill for awhile because of its' fresh approach to survival horror. Sadly, it, too, began to regurgitate the same ol' formula with it's PS2 games so I gave up on games of this nature altogether. So, recently, my nephew comes over to play videogames with me and brings his copy of Resident Evil 4. Leaving it behind when he leaves to go home, I find it and decide to take a look at the game. Yet, I was pleasantly surprised when I got sucked into the game and played for hours on end. See, with this installment of Resident Evil, the series goes into a bold new direction with a greater emphasis on the story. If you're wondering how, all I can say is to check it out.

The story itself has Leon Kennedy(whom RE Vets will remember from RE2) searching for the President's daughter in a remote European village where she was supposedly spotted. Yet, instead of facing zombies like in previous Resident Evil games, Leon faces a threat far greater than that. A threat that is genuinely creepy and very unsettling.

While many of you know this game was originally released on the Nintendo Gamecube, it was successfully ported over to the Playstation 2 with several new extras(such as Ada Wong's Separate Ways sidestory, new outfits & whatnot). Very little was sacrificed in the making of this game and it shows. The game looks absolutely stunning(measuring up to the graphical style of Silent Hill and then some) and the gameplay is as perfect as it can be. Resident Evil 4 is a fine return to form as the leading Survival Horror game on the Playstation 2. I highly recommend you play this game.

For me, I'm gone....out to buy Resident Evil 4. Later you all.
