I've always wanted to play the Resident Evil games. I remember watching my cousin play the very first one in the good ol' days on his Playstation One. I love love love the movies and anything that has to do with zombies. Naturally I would be interested in the premiere zombie series that my beloved movies were based off of. So when I bought my GameCube I also picked up Resident Evil. I played it for a bit and thought it is pretty fun, but I never finished it. That's been my only experience with the series up until a couple of weeks ago when I purchased a used copy of Resident Evil 4. It was only $15 and I'd heard very good things about it, so I figured what's the harm. Almost immediately I'd noticed changes about everything I didn't like in the other game and a few completely new ideas that really brought a lot to the game. Organizing and enlarging the attache case is a very nice feature. Not having to conserve on ammo makes the game quite a bit more fun. The thing I love the most though is the fact that some enemies drop items when killed. The merchant is a close second. Perhaps these additions and changes take away a lot of the strategy of the older games, but in my opinion it makes RE much more fun. My only disappointment in this game is that technically speaking the monsters aren't zombies, in fact they are not-zombies. Kind of ironic I think.
