For the past 4 years or so i have played the resident evil series through in order once a year, and i can honestly say i enjoy playing RE4 more than the others, the problem with the original zombies is that they were too easy to get away from as they were too slow and they were easy to get past if you really wanted too. RE4 gave them a bit of speed and the intelligence to break windows, climb ladders etc
I did like the addition in the GC version of RE1 of the Crimson heads, so you had to burn the dead bodies or head shot them so you don't get jumped by one.
RE4 made quite a few changes to the RE series and i think they were necessary, by Resident Evil 3 the format was getting very repetitive and almost dull, by picking up Leon in the middle of nowhere you had that air of mystery, the action scenes in RE4 are fantastic and i must admit there aren't sections where i was truly scared, but i am older now than i was when i played RE1 for the first time so maybe like me your craving that scare that you will only experience as a youngster where as an adult your fear threshold is much, much higher.
I'm sure RE5 will be a truly enjoyable game but i would like to see more of the viruses and some reasoning as to how it got out and what its doing in Africa, basically how, why, what, when, who. There is a long time yet before it is released and im sure the finished product will be another brilliant Resident Evil game, whether its in the guise of RE4 or a knock back to the older versions.
