Will I like RE4?

I'm a young little muffin. I'll say this; I'm old enough to see PG-13 movies, but not quite old enough to drive yet ^_^

I own a Wii, love it, love Twilight Princess and Mario, but I always see RE4 being discussed everywhere. I've never played the game before, so I'm pondering on whether or not to buy this game (my age or maturity isn't really a factor, I can order it online or my parents will pick it up for me), because I've never really been a fan of the genre. I don't really care for horror games, I hardly made it past Ravenholm in Half-Life 2 (had to play in the light, in the kitchen, with people around to finish lol), but is Resident Evil really good enough to warrant a purchase?

WillI be too scared to play this game or should I buy it ASAP?

There are a couple of parts with a really creepy atmosphere and a few rare parts where something bursts out at you, but it's by far the least scary of all the RE games. I don't particularly like the horror genre but I love RE4. It's much more action than horror

That's great, because I actually like those games. If it's not constantly scary, I'll probably be okay. Playing about an hour through FEAR with a friend was absolute hell for me, so if it's a leg down from that I"ll be fine. Thank you!

I'm the type of person who can laugh off Scary Movies like nothing, but when it comes to games the Horror genre is a major turnoff for me. I suppose its the player interaction and the scenario being under your control.

While RE4 is a Resident Evil, its not particularly scary. I didn't have a problem with it until a situation in a laboratory. But thats not until the final chapter of the game. So while it does have an unsettling atmosphere, the focus on tight control and solid action allows RE4 to be less scary and a hell of a lot more fun.

Edit: Please tell me you made it past Ravenholm in HL2! Its far too awesome of a game to give up on just for that part. Ugh, I've got a nasty Ravenholm story, I had killed all of the Poisonous Headcrabs off of one of those Zombie Headcrab throwers and had been slowly platforming around the level. I was completely sure they were all dead so when I fell into a grassy section in the shadows, I didn't much think about it, so I'm walking around calmly when a leftover Poison one shows up and attacks my face, I shoot wildly and damn near fall out of my chair. Awesome times.

If you like awesome games that involve lots of action and shooting things, then yes you will love it. Its awesome, and I didnt find it the least bit scary, I have played scarier versions of resident evil

and on a side note, the scariest game I personally have ever played was the first Silent hill, granted I was much much younger when that came out so many years ago haha.

I think you will, my sister bought me the game yesterday. I love it, its my first time playing RE since playing the first one on playstation when i was about 6 (i admit it i was scared like hell lol). Now i just turned 16, and im glad my sister got it for me, best game on wii for me, infront of zelda because I think that game is way too easy.

I never liked the Resident Evil Games. I AM old enough to drive and would still probably wet my pants if I ever played that game with any length of time...:Dgccg

:lol: re isn't that bad.

Resident Evil 4 is a very good game with lots of action.It never gets boring.chocolate1325

No he's serious "IT NEVER GETS BORING". I've beaten it 3 times for PS2, now im playing it for the Wii i almost beat it again, then im gonna start another play through.

I DID make it past Ravenholm in Half-Life 2, one of my favourite games ever :D

I think I'm going to buy this game, if I get scared I'll get one of my friends to help me or something. Thanks for your help everyone!

it's an absolute GEM. TO have a wii, to never have played it and for it only to be so cheap you're really hurting yourself buy not buying it. GET THE GAME NOW

The only scary thing in the game are those damn regenerators...i hate them
