Resident Evil 4. This is also the only RE game I've played for some reason, but I thought it was awesome.

Resident Evil 4 definatly.

It pretty much revamped everything bad about the Resident evil series and made it amazing. Most disagree with me, but i think this was all for the better. Maybe they could have made it more survivally and less shooter on second thought....

I'm unsure now.

I have yet to play MGS4, but I doubt it will be able to top RE4. I absolutely loved that game.

If I'm not mistaken, Super Mario World would have been SMB "4". So that would be my vote.

Metal Gear Solid 4 > Resident Evil 4 > Call of Duty 4 > Grand Theft Auto 4.

Hopefully Fatal Frame IV takes this to heart.

Technically, OoT would be Zelda 4.

I change my vote, then. Poll still broken, BTW.

My vote goes towards RE4, but I haven't played MGS4 yet. My reason for chosing RE4 was because it really reinvented the franchise in mostly all good ways. I loved that game.

I'm certain I'll enjoy it, seeing as how I loved 1-3.
Suda 51 = overkill.

Broken? I think more like smashed, crushed, run over, trampled by elephants, and danced on by 1000 virgins.

And why 1000? That sounds like a lot of work... trying to find 1000 dancing virgins seems impossible.

Eh, I agree with the statement in general.

I'll take Super Mario World, thank you very much.

From this poll, I voted MGS4. Honorable mention goes to RE4.

i absolutely love the concept behind sh4. the atmosphere when you're in that room....your only safe spot....and then it graduly turns all evil too

ah, it was awesome. and the whole land lord getting pissed off at you and spying on your neighbors....and the bloody handprints on the wall opposite your door....

sadly, i thought the actually levels were awful when compared to the other sh games. thats kinda what killed it for me. great idea, but the game went downhill after being forced to leave your cool little apartment

GTA4 was a great improvement in terms of shooting mechanics, physics etc. as you would expect but i think it lost some of that GTA magic. The humour wasnt as strong as in previous GTA games, this one seemed to go too far with the realsim approach, soundtrack was meh, etc etc.

COD4 was such a leap ahead of previous installments in terms of multiplayer but i think it fell short in single player. The campaign was pretty short, and overall i feel COD2's campaign was better.

RE4 is a difficult one. Its an excellent game, but it seemed to loose a lot of what made RE special. It was pretty linear with far less emphasis put on puzzle solving. It was all action. The most disappointing part was probably the fact it wasnt scary at all.

My vote goes to MGS4. It improved the gameplay mechanic getting rid of the fixed camera. The Octocam is basically MGS3's camouflage system perfected. The story is brilliant, even more-so than the excellent MGS3. And then theres the addition of MGO which is a good online game. Cant really compare it to MGS3's online component though (stupid MGS3 servers getting shut down:x)

It was between resident evil 4 and metal gear solid 4 for me, while resident evil did a great job as a game, metal gear solid improved on so much more and had better... well everything. Hard to compare them though, both are very different games. COD4 and GTA 4 are good... but compared to other 4th installments of games, they arent amazing, regardless of their ratings.

I played 3/4 of that list with the exception of MGS4, and I would say Resident Evil 4.

GTA 4 sucks period. I just beat the game yesterday and I have no desire to play again. COD4 isn't really a forth installment because the stories differ from one game to another and is not depedent on previous games, so it could have been called anything and basically omiiting the 4 in its name. I have never played RE4 because I don't like RPG games, but I played the demo and it was just ok. Now, MGS4 is probably one of the best games I have played and it is a very ending to snake indeed.
