I must say that this is the most impressive game that I have played in many, MANY years. The last time I had this much fun playing through a Playstation game for the first time was 5 years ago when I was playing Final Fantasy X.
I whole-heartedly recommend Resident Evil 4 to everyone that enjoys games. The graphics, gameplay, soundtrack are absolutely stunning from beginning to end. As well, the game is very long so you are certainly getting your money's worth; especially if you are playing the PS2 version, as there are quite a few mini games and extras to play once you've finished.
If you can handle a bit of blood and gore then you don't want to miss out on this game.
P.S. Playing this game game in the middle of the night, in the dark, is the best time. It really provides quite a thrill. :wink:
