anybody who plays this game, and says it's not good are stupid! I haven't played it yet but I want to! If you like resident evil 4 for gamecube, playstation 2, or wii, play it for pc!

Great game, even if there were pitfalls along the way...

I heard great things about this game, and I'm happy to report that it is as good as they say, in terms of environment and fun factor and interest factor. Only a few problems:

1) It took me a while to even get the game to run, even though I had plenty of computer resources. Be caredul what you're running in your syster tray: one of the movie sequences it plays over and over crashes when you're running simple things like a Messenger program (AIM, Yahoo) or Dell Support.

2) The interface takes a long time to get used to. They didn't make it to play with a mouse. It might be easier with a gamepad, except gamepads are not easy to use either. Give me the mouse and simple keyboard any day...

Thank goodness my patience has large limits. ;)

What's the problem???

Unless everyone is commenting on the pre-patch non-US version of the game, I don't understand where all of the hate is coming from. The PC port does have a few minor quirks (Quitting the game is unnecessarily confusing with the "Reset Game" option), but all in all, it's a solid translation!

Gameplay and controls are great, assuming you have a quality USB controller (I use Logitech's Cordless Rumblepad 2). And, contrary to popular belief, the graphics are FINE. Some complain about a lack of atmosphere due to brightened environments - this is simply not an issue. The darker portions of the game are still creepy as hell, and if you feel that you need it darker, you could always decrease the brightness of your monitor. Things look awesome at higher resolutions, but you'll need a pretty powerful system to keep the framerate up (for things to flow nicely, I'm stuck with 800x600, which still looks great). To get an idea of the PC to console comparison, search for it on YouTube - you should be able to find a side-by-side comparison of the PC and PS2 versions.

Ultimately, I strongly advise you NOT to be influenced solely by the negative reviews here. I'm having an absolute blast playing RE4 on my PC, and I bet you will, too. Just make sure that you have a decent controller, crank up the sound, and kill the lights!

Still unknown...

Completely my fault for not checking first, but the computer I'm currently using has the ONE video card that this game won't work with. I'll have to wait until I can get my other computer out of storage to try this game.

SOOOO much fun!

In my experience, the Gamecube Resident Evil 4 is one of the best games created of all time. But now that I don't have the time to play it at home as much, I wanted a version I could take on the road. So while the Gamecube version is incredible, the PC version is almost the same thing. And what's even better, is that the PC version includes the new extras that Capcom made for the PS2 version, so now there's even more.
And yes, just like the console version, a gamepad is ideal for this game. Come on people, this is an ACTION game. This game is so good that I couldn't care less that no mouse control, and limited keyboard control is available. Maybe I'm biased because I'm so used to using a gamepad, but even before buying the PC version, I had expected to, and had only WANTED to use the gamepad. I already had 2 gamepads for my PC, as they can be used in lots of games. So yes, if you have a PS3/PS2, or Gamecube, get those versions, but if you want to take the game anywhere, the PC version is nearly as good, with the added benefit of being able to play it anywhere on a laptop.

Awesome

This game is amazing. Everything you ever wanted out of a Resident Evil game this one has.

Awkward and poorly put together addition

I am a huge RE fan and I cannot express my disappointment over the game play of the PC version. I found it so awkward to interact with and the graphics were nothing special. I am looking forward to the PS3/XBox version of RE5 in 2008 and hope for more.

Graphics look great, nothing I can complain about. I was able to run the game at my notebook's native 1400x1050 resolution by altering the SetupTool.ini file. The gameplay took Resident Evil to a whole new level. Faster enemies make the game more challenging. Also the ink ribbon saves were removed but best of all are the new weapons, inventory system and new point of view. I was annoyed at first because there was no mouse support but then I bought the wireless Logitech Rumblepad which I prefer to use now. RE4 is one of the best single player games for me, definitely did justice to the RE series and then some.

Overall it was fun. But it lacked a little "Umf" that I was expecting from a Resident Evil. I do recommend you buy this game or at least rent it its worth the money but it might leave you with a bitter sweet experience.
