I really liked this game but after you beat it and try mercenary mode and stuff like that it starts to really scare you. I really liked playing this game but I would NEVER play it by myself. I'd be scared to death... It's not really that scary after you can afford the infinite launcher though. :P
Best game Capcom has made!!!

This game was so great that I played through it many times and still want to play it again. The battle system was cool because of the new 3rd person view which means you are looking at the character's back. The game is about Leon S. Kennedy from Resident Evil 2 investigating a Spanish area for information on the kidnapping of the president's daughter. He goes to the village and the people there don't seem to be zombies but attack any intruders. He later finds out that these people are all infected with the Las Plagas, a parasitic organism that uses sonic energy waves to control a human. They were not seen for many years until the evil Lord Osmund Saddler revived them and infected anyone in the village with them. Leon makes his mark in three different areas in this game, the Spaniards' village, an evil tyrants castle (you fight that tyrant), and an island where you will ultimately kill Saddler. The game offers a large variety of guns such as the TMP, shotgun, and Red9. This game also has quite a long story mode which is said to be 25 hours long. You'll have your hands full with this one. The boss fights are quite nice with a cutscene where you need to press certain buttons to survive the attempted attack. Don't worry, you fight the boss after these cutscenes. The graphics are very well done and there are enemies everywhere in the game. It is quite impossible to kill all the enemies in the areas unless you are willing to use ammo. If you like to conserve ammo for the big guys, you can use a knife in this game. Also, it's not just the story mode. After you beat the story mode, you will unlock new mini games such as Assignment Ada where you use Ada Wong and complete her missions. The hit of this game is the Mercenaries mode where you choose one of five characters and battle huge hords of enemies in four different places. The enemies never stop coming and you are timed to see how many you can kill within 2 minutes. Along the way, you can pick up time clocks that raise the time by 30, 60, or 90 seconds so you have more time to kill. Even after finishing the game, you will unlock new guns so when you start a new game for the main game, you can buy the new guns from a merchant. Overall, this game has astounding graphics, quick, edge-of-your-seat gameplay, interesting story mode, and every thing else you can expect to find in an outstanding videogame.
On The Edge Of My Seat All The Way

Heh, when a game can have you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end, paranoid that some horrific nightmare has to be lurking around the next corner, your palms sweating and your heart racing, you have a pretty good idea that the money you just spent was well worth it.
There were so many moments of out and out fear and panic for me in this game that I just found it an incredible adrenaline rush. Having never played a Resident Evil game before, I don't think I could have asked for a better introduction to the series (thankfully MUCH better than the movie adaptations). For me this ranks right up there with Okami and God of War when it comes to favorite games for the PS2.
You just can't go wrong with RE4. Now with the PS3, I am dieing to be able to eventually play RE5.
Give RE4 a chance

I see a few negative reviews about this game, so I would like to clear up some things. It IS true that the controls for this game were designed by a one-armed blind baboon. Yep. So what? Many great games have flawed controls. Like the jump controls in GoW, or the limp bodied hero in SotC. The trick is to let your fingers learn the controls, and then everything will flow smoothly.
Another complaint is the slowness of the main character. Also true. He is slow, but he can outrun his enemies. This means that movement is part of the strategy. This is not a simple run and gun game. In some battles you need to stay still, in others you have to move constantly. You have to do some thinking to determine when to stay and when to move. This game does require a little bit of thinking. Not too much, though.
Great action, graphics, puzzles, and very fun to play. Seriously, this game has earned its place among the PS2 Greatest Hits.
Best in the series.

This is an outstanding game. What's not to like? Beautiful graphics, a lengthy adventure with plenty to do. A somewhat interesting story. Great bosses (a loch Ness monster type thing, a large ogre thing with a vulnerable spot on its back). The game does get a bit difficult, but if you're good enough at this type of game you should be ok. A guide wouldnt hurt, if you're up for using one. The control scheme is solid, not far removed from the previous Res Evil games. You get your money's worth with this game, and cannot go wrong with picking it up.
ONE WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this game its so will detailed and they improve the camera and you can choose where to aim. This a must buy for all Survival/Horror or Action/Adventure or Shotter fans. Trust me you'll won't be disappointed at all. Will you might be if you lose your nerve 'cuase you might be that type of person who can't handle tense sequences on games probaly should rent it first to get a feel for it. But I strongly recomend buying this game. It only cost $19.99 on each system but the PS2 version has more bonuses than the GC version but the GC version is the best looking one. But their isn't a big difference graphic wise it's just minor things very small minor things. I hope you people find this review helpful.
a fun time guaranteed

Zombie-shooting games have always been a blast, but the Resident Evil series is known as the ULTIMATE zombie-shooting experience. And for good reason: these games RULE.
Resident Evil 4 is definitely the best in the series when it comes to incredibe graphics and blood and gore. Everything looks so BIG compared to Resident Evil 2 and 3. Walking around shooting the zombie people is really awesome because the graphics really make the game an incredible sight. The zombies have never looked more impressive.
I've never seen so much violence in my life. The way blood splashes all over the place and the way zombies basically EXPLODE after you pump them with bullets is truly a wonderful experience. Some battles have a required strategy in order to complete, which didn't happen much in the previous RE games. NOT recommended for children, or anyone under the age of 13.
AWESOME

There is not much to say about RE4 that all the critics and fans already said, is one of the best videogames ever created. me personally im a big fan of all the Resident Eevil saga and I bought a game cube just for this games and RE4 is the best game I have ever played in my life.
But now playstation 2 does the unexpected they took a perfect game and add more extras and the "mini game" separate ways wich is amazing gives you the ways the 2 the main characters took in the game and... WOW is the only thing to say, separate ways is about 3 and a half hours to complete. So when i saw Playstation 2 took this perfection of a game and add some pluses guess what? yes I boght a Playstation 2 console just for this game, sorry im a sucker for the RE saga and yes this game is that good that to buy a console just for this game is not absurd. if you havent play or dont care for the RE saga it doesnt matter give a chance to this game and you will be amazed trust me. RESIDENT EVIL 4 = PERFECTION
Best of the best

I'm a huge fan of RE, I still have and play all RE for playstation. I have this game for almost 8 months and I just started playing Saturday, finally I finished today, in case you guys wondering why did I just started playing now, I had others games to finish first. It's not scary as previous versions, but I got to tell you, it sure keeps you busy. Game play, graphics, sound... are really good. I can't tell you about extras yet, tomorrow if I have time I'll start playing. Please, if you own a playstation 2 or game cube, even if you never played any RE before, this is a must have game.
