Resident Evil 4 is truly a remarkable achievment both visualy and gameplay wise. The story takes place somewhere in Europe (prosumably in Spain) and surrounds Leon and the President Daughter, Ashley. Ashley's been kidnapped and it's now up to Leon, now a government agent, to find and take her back to her homeland. Of course, things dont turn out to easily as eaily as you would have wished...... The Controls and gameplay of this game as I said before are devine. There truly is no shooter or survival horror game that plays quite like this one. It's realy that good. You view the action from behind Leon, and the camera zooms in to an over-the-shoulder view when you ready a weapon. The control and feeling when you aim and fire a weapon is very smooth. All weapons have a very usefull laser sighting attatched to them, for ease and confort of use. Leon can upgrade his weapons as the game gets further and further in the adventure, and can carry many weapons, such as a Rocket Launcher for all you Demolition junkies, or a more sexy and handsome looking sniper rifle. You"re choise. Sound wise the game is supperb. All weapons have different and unique sounds, so you won"t be hearing the same firing sound for all the different pistols. The game holds some god voice acting, and some rather strange dialog in some places. Many of the "Ganados" will often swear and curse, when the priest and monks chant and pray. The music as far as I"m consered is great. It realy does put a chill down you"re spine. Oh and the sound effects? Awesome. The Graphics of RE4 are very good. I"ve never seen a RE game be soo detailed. Hell I"ve never seen a game this detailed. This has got to be the best looking Cube game ever made. The character models are amazing and the cut scenes ar fantastic. Oh yeah, the cutscenes are all so interactive, and in certain situation, require a quick press of 2 random buttons, If you do this successfully, you"ll cheat youre way through death, but if you don"t......well.....you know what"ll happen. Ok, Value. I found this game quit hard on my first go. Died a few times, did the wrong action, ran out of ammo you know how it goes. I managed to fish the game on easy in 16 hours. Which is pretty good since you get loads of unlockable minigames and content. I"m on my 2nd playthrough right now on Normal mode. Im 3/4 of the way finished, and I"ve only played for 6 hours. So the games pretty lenghly. RE4 is a hard game, and the 18+ rating realy does deliver a sign. It's realy a shame for the people who are not quolified to play this game. There realy missing put on a great game.
