Resident Evil 4
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!

Resident Evil 4 Reviews
Resident Evil 4This game isn't that good.I mean it's a really good game,actually,i loved it.But that doesn't take away the fact that it is boring after beating it once.Also,it's a disgrace to the Resident Evil franchise.This is because it wasn't even scary,it was only really,really violent.If you played the other games you would know that it isn't even similar to it.When i said it was a disgrace,i didn't mean it was bad,i meant that it is nothing like the resident evil series,it's more like a shooter game.But i suspect that Resident Evil 5 will be better because it is connected to the series,unlike RE4.Wesker is also appearing in the game,so i am looking forward for it.I still liked the game,but not that much.My advice would be to get Bioshock instead.
I played it at a friend's party; it's a pretty difficult game if you're not used to games like this. RE4 was amazing. For sure =} But even so, my friends and I spent hours in the middle of the night, screaming at each other along the lines of "SHOOT HIM." "I'M TRYING" "OHMAHGAWD" "LOOK OUT IT'S GONNA KILL YOU" "Aw died again." Sometimes, the characters are difficult to maneuver, resulting in death, but that being said, best game I've ever played.
That's not to say this is a friendly walk in the park. Might not be as scary, but just as fun. Without giving anything away, you simply cannot just shoot until it dies, that won't work here. But while RE4 may stumble here or there, nothing is so glaring or painfully bad that it ruins the title.
Of course the game isn't going to be a simple recue missions with "normal" citizens causing a problem. I personally, am also one of the millions who savored every bit of this great Playstation 2 title that was released (as an exclusive) on the Nintendo Gamecube. But besides boss fights, you will kill a vast array of "regular" enemies. No longer just walking through dark hallways looking for keys, RE4 throws you into real environments and asks you to survive by any means.
Most, if not all, are extremely memorable. Great depth in this portion as you can build up your best weapons and have a field day in another playthrough. Additionally, the bosses are spectacular. Lunatics with chainsaws, pitchfork weilding psychotics and parasites galore run throughout the game. Most of the screenshots you have seen have been of the opening area, the woods and cabins. No game is perfect, that's obvious.
The score is excellent at setting the tone and never comes across as overdone. Resident Evil 4 has reach critical acclaim. The whispers and chanting of the townspeople and their screams are almost haunting. The music, voice overs and dialogue is all crisp and helps entrance you in the game.
Rumors have it that she was spotted in a small, rural community in the woods. The story is a simple one, nothing too complicated. That's all you have to go on. Get ready to set aside a large portion of your life. And this is where the game starts, but where it takes you leaves almost no stone unturned.
You need to be smart and learn your opponent. You play as Leon Kennedy (back from the second game) and you travel to Europe to rescue toe President's daughter. No real worries about rushed graphics or bland environments. The new behind the shoulder camera mode is fantastic (so you can actually see what you're doing) and having a laser to show where you're aiming is well done. If you've played the Gamecube version and are curious if you should drop some cash on this "port" the answer is an emphatic 'yes'.
Few games can take a series with diehard fans, change it drastically in terms of gameplay and controls and still keep original fans happy while attracting an onslaught of new ones. Along with no zombies, the game just isn't as frightening as previous games. Some fans complain that this makes the game easy, and in a sense yes. This is however, where some fans will get turned off; the enemies aren't the zombies of previous games, but they aren't "fully functional" human beings either. While the story unfolds you understand the story and get information from cutscenes, letters, documents and other characters. As much as RE4 supplies suspense, creative characters / enemies, a good plot, intelligent dialogue (for once) and great gameplay mechanics (first time for everything) this game is not the perfect game. These are all detailed worlds you walk through.
Even on the less-than-stellar PS2, the graphics are amazing. The settings in the game are all fully realized and a sight to behold. As I said before, everyone should own this game. The PS2 version has extra content in the Ada Missions and others which don't feel tacked on. RE4 never misses on that aspect. As for how long you'll play the game. This is a good thing and makes the series feel fresh again, but some people just prefer dark corridors over woods and European settings.
That is mainly the only downfall of the title. RE4's main story will likely take 20-25 hours easily, and once you're done there are loads of unlockables. You never get bored and you never feel comfortable in the game. Not so much "survival horror" anymore as it is just "action adventure" but nonetheless, you do not want to miss this one. No, no, no, the problem is much worse.
Where most games give you 2 or 3 different enemy types, RE4 stacks the deck against you. There are more weapons, more ammunition, more ways to survive, but if you panic in some scenarios, you're a goner and get a chainsaw to the neck. It really adds a new depth to the game itself. The atmosphere is still there, that's for sure, but the scenery isn't dark and bland. While the game is tense, difficult and stunningly well portrayed, it isn't truly horrifying. Critics love it, fans alike love it.
They feel and play like it could be a full game by itself. Obviously, since this is a Resident Evil game there is going to be horror and suspenseful moments throughout.
Game over for you, bud. Even without the extras, just unlocking new weapons and customizing (and getting to keep them) for the next playthrough is amazing.
Nothing takes a hit here, which is amazing since the PS2 version came out 9 months after it's Gamecube brother. But some fans have hated that the zombies are gones.
This game, to be honest, should be owned by all faithful fans of videogames who love a good time. Resident Evil 4 takes alot of chances for a series that was starting to feel stale, and shook up the genre, series and the future of its next games.
Something has made them go a little mad.
I enjoyed them, but they were frustrating as hell. It comes up at key moments but is sadly absent most of the time. DAMMIT. This game also has an upgrades system in which for a fee of some sort you can have your weapons upgraded to enlarge fire power and how much ammo a weapon can carry. This game also has a lot more health recovering items as well. If you didn't play RE4 solely for the fact you had many troubles with the past entries.
During his mission there, the villagers attack and attempt to kill Leon. But be warned the item compression system from the old RE games is still here, meaning you can only carry a certain number of items. MUSIC: There is little present most of the time, something I miss from the old RE games because there was always some kind of creepy music in the background. THE GOOD: Perfect gameplay, lots of guns, lots of zombies, lots of ammo, lots of health recovery, great story, an escort mission that doesn't suck, it's thrilling, good boss battles, great characters, and great graphics. This item compression system is at least far better than the old ones, allowing you to carry a large number of items before running out of room. RE3: Ahhh. It also turns out these villagers are infected with something.
He must find the source of the outbreak and look for the secrets surrounding a mysterious organization that operates there. RE1: Why are there so many locked doors. All gamers pretty much hate escort missions because the person you're protecting is annoying and you'd rather see them die than let them live because it would just be a burden. I'm dead from a f***ing rocket launcher. This game is the main reason I purchased a PS2, and I'm damn well glad I purchased the system for this thrilling masterpiece. This game relies on some timed button press scenes like the boulder scene or dodging some other large object that's coming at you.
You can even shoot fish and eat them along with chicken eggs to heal you. Damn you lickers and zombie dogs. THE BAD: The lack of music is the only thing that's wrong with this game. You get to shoot lots of zombies, and ammo is far more plentiful than most likely all the other RE games combined. This means those long moments of nothing are pretty much eliminated. There is a great selection of weapons to buy or find like guns, rocket launchers, and grenades.
This game has great boss battles that are carefully balanced and heart-racing. These guys aren't the rotting corpses you remember from the old RE games, these guys are meaner and more deadly. WHAT THE GAME IS: This game is a mix between survival-horror and third-person shooter, though it feels more like a third-person shooter. Overall, the visuals look great and really know how to milk the PS2 hardware for what it's worth. SO MUCH CRAP TO FIND. This game's main focus; shooting; works very well and the targeting system is among the most reliable I've ever used in a game.
The escort mission wasn't tedious or frustrating at all, and it was quite nice for a change to protect someone who isn't annoying as hell. Before RE4, I struggled with the past numbered entries. FANTASTIC. GO BUY THIS GAME NOW. The shooting mechanics work well and use the same button layout as the past RE games (R1 to aim, X to fire). GO AWAY NEMESIS, GO AWAY.
Ugh. OVERALL: This game is a superb and phenomenal and the gameplay is perfect. There are a bunch of other items to buy in the game as well. But RE4 completely rebuilt the franchise from scratch and gave it new life. GRAPHICS: Who said PS2 visuals are bad.
Not in this game. RE2: Who the hell builds a police station like this. Leon Kennedy (The guy from RE2 and he had a brief role in Gaiden) has been sent on a mission to rescue the President's kidnapped daughter; Ashley Graham; in an obscure part of what appears to be Spain. There shouldn't be this many locked doors and passageways in a police station.
Why can't fight off a zombie when he tries to eat me. Worry not, this entry has eased the difficulty by miles and it's paced far better than the past entries. This game looks great and even looks better than some of my Xbox 360 games. Run Jill Valentine run, you slow b**ch. One part of the game I found rather surprising was the escort mission.
GAMEPLAY: This game introduced the over-the-shoulder camera which works quite well when shooting. SOUND: Shooting, dying screams, chainsaws, and exploding heads. You can also buy another box if you find your current one too small. Every part of the gameplay is polished to perfection and can't really think of a way to knock off points against it. Puzzles are cleverly devised in this game, and can be real brain-teasers at times and they weren't boring to solve.
Don't give up after passing the first town, it gets better and more interesting. My little cousin came over my place once and saw me playing and his thoughts were, "that game has no graphics", but then he turned off his PSP and decided to see me playing instead.
Acting, story, sound, etc. I used to think that God of War was the best game I have played, but in My Opinion Resident Evil 4 is now my favorite game (for the PS2).
Even my wife loves it. The PS3 has better graphics, but a game is more than just that.
"Agarrenlo"; "Welcome Stranger" If you think you are a gamer, try this.
This game has it all.
