Video Game Reviews of Resident Evil 4
Customer Review: The first game that got me into the Resident Evil series
Summary: 5 Stars
I played this game for the first time about 3 years ago, and I still love it. That was when I first started playing rated M games on my PS3 and my friend loved this game, so I decided to buy it and test it out. It was one of the best action games I've played with easy controls, tons of enemies surrounding you, lots of awesome guns, and incredible boss fights. I just loved the environment that got a little creepy from time to time, as well as the parasite enemies. A few mindless puzzles were mixed in here and there as well as some merchants to buy/sell weapons and upgrade, which does kind of take the survival out of this game, but hey, it does come handy when you are facing 20 enemies at once and need the fire power. Its not too short nor long, but does feel like an adventure and ends with you feeling satisfied with the gameplay and journey, even if the storyline is pretty generic and uninteresting. The story is pretty simple but overused, a psychotic cult leader kidnaps the presidents daughter and plans to use her as bait which will then infect the entire country and cause a complete outbreak of his plague, making everyone under his control. How original. And if you didn't guess, you also get infected at a point in the game and must find the cure. And this game has a lot of corny lines and cliche moments. It still is the best action game on the market and has a pretty solid environment, with a very good unlockables.
+ Lots of fun and interesting weapons
+ Good evolution to the 3rd person camera and shooting mechanics
+ Game is pretty good length and can't typically be beaten under 10 hours
+ Boss fights are well placed and fun
+ Weapon upgrade system
+ Great unlockable weapons, costumes, and mercenary mode along with Assignment Ada and Separate Ways
+ Lots of fun ways to kill enemies, plus parasite enemies are interesting
+ Knife actually isn't underpowered and can be useful
- Takes away almost all survival with enemies dropping ammo and health
- Protecting Ashley gets annoying and becomes more of a chore with her hideous shrieks
- After fulling upgrading all your guns, game becomes so easy on seconds playthrough that you might want to buy a new weapon and not upgrade it to make more of a challenge
- The story is kind of lame and pulls away from the series, and you aren't really pulled into like the other Resident Evils
- A few annoying and flat characters who you will grow to hate like Salazar, Ashley, and even Saddler at times
- Leon is not cool at all in this game and tries too hard with his lame lines
- Kind of linear maps where it makes it obvious where you need to get to and what paths to take
- Can't play extra overtime mode Ashley offers at the end, just kidding who would want to see that
So this game is not the best Resident Evil in terms of survival or horror, but is the best in terms of gameplay and aiming. A lot of unlockables make for good replay, and there aren't many long puzzles that you have to redo, although there are annoying chase scenes. It is one of my favorite games and one of the best third person shooters for PS2. I would probably call this game the death of the classic RE series with the camera angle, shooting, and flesh eating zombies as we know it though. But we have Dead Space to bring back horror and survival to gaming.
Description of 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!All Games
