Forget what you know, or think you know, about Resident Evil. RE4 not only brings the series out of its creative rut, it also packs the most refined graphics and gameplay in survival-horror since...well, ever. Let's face it: The cumbersome controls and disconnected camera have always been a huge obstacle to fully enjoying the RE series. RE4's over-the-shoulder view changes everything. You still pu... read more
I'm a fan of the Resident Evil series, and asked if I should play the PS2 or GC version, I went GC (as it was originally made for).
Wow, we've got great graphics, AI that dodges your shots, a laser sight, puzzles, an interesting storyline, replay value to get some extra goodies and crap jumping out at you all the time.
Tricky the first time through, then fun when ... read more

Kennedy to Europe on a top-secret mission to investigate the disappearance of the President's daughter Ashley. As Leon encounters unimaginable horrors, he must find out who or what is behind everything. Old friends...and enemies...lurk around every corner, as Leon attempts to find out who is truly behind the kid-napping of the president's daughter.
Resident Evil 4 is a major change from the previous installments. Instead of a fixed third person perspective, RE4 features a new "behind the back" movement camera angle and an "over the shoulder" aiming feature that allows players to control their gun movement for specific body part hits. It features a brand new AI system and more open environments that allow enemies to work together to capture and corner Leon. The enemies are now humans, which allows them to climb up ladders, open doors, and use weapons throughout the game. Besides this, the game has revamped its entire item system so that smaller items no longer require an entire item space to hold. Instead, items take up blocks of space in a briefcase according to their real life size, to allow for many more items and weapons. As well, Leon can collect treasure from enemies or from the surrounding area, and visit the infamous "merchant" to purchase bigger briefcases, treasure maps, weapons upgrades, and powerful weapons such as the one-shot RPG.
The game also includes a mode called Separate Ways similar to Resident Evil 2's game A/B system, where you must play the game through the eyes of Ada Wong. As well, there is The Mercenaries from Resident Evil 3, which allows you to play survival scenarios as character such as Hunk and even Albert Wesker himself.... (more)(less)

"30 - Your favorite Game of all time
While honestly, it is pretty difficult to place one title at the helm, I feel pretty confident about this choice. Capcom reinvented the wheel with this title and made fans believe again. Gaming nirvana.
Honourable Mention: Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, Final Fantasy VII, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Chrono Trigger, The Legend of Zelda "

"This game is pretty good. It is not an "amazing achievement". I just want to point out that this is not a horror game. That is because it is not scary. Pretty simple. Once you get used to the awful controls this game is alright. Not much more to say about it, it's just okay."

Resident Evil 4 was a drastic change in the Resident Evil series, switching from a slow-paced adventure-style gameplay to a much faster, action-oriented gameplay. The result was what some call the best game to come out in the last decade. I wouldn't quite go that far, but it is easily in the top 5.
