I can't decide which I like best. This RE or the remade original for the GC. Oh well who cares. I'll just keep playing them both. Great Game. Makes owning a Nintendo worth it.

AWESOME!!

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.

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.

Perfect

Frankly, after having been severely underwhelmed playing R.E. 3 through on the PS1 years ago, I was having a hard time buying into the hype for this game. But...it's true: this has to be one of the greatest video games ever. Even though I don't game that much anymore and never cared for the survival/horror genre, this game is unbelievable; it's perfectly balanced, fun, beautifully rendered, scary, inventive, all the superlatives--one of the most satisfying wastes of my time ever. I'm glad to see that it made it over to the PS2 and then over to the Wii. It's strange that despite having such a played-out plot (saving a damsel in distress from Spanish quasi-zombies) this game will certainly stand the test of time and be top-ranked for ages. Buy it. And if you only have a newer PS3 or XBOX/360, hit ebay up for a system that supports it.

This game is so scary. Sometimes I say to myself it's just a game. The most memorable moments in the game is when you head towards the house and you have to block all the doors and windows with bookshelf and tables. and then the zombies come in. Man was that freaky! I hope Resident Evil 5 is good. But for now this was a great game that everyone who still has a gamecube should pick up.

I can't stop playing!

This is the best game I have ever played. Hands down the most fun. A bit scary at times. Challenging, but not to the point of being so hard that it is more frustrating than fun. I am a huge fan of Metroid, and have beat/finished them all. This game, for me, is more fun to play. The weapons are great. The puzzles are challenging. All around great game. I am on my 4th reply. It is that good! P.S. The story line is very good. It's like being in a movie!
