This version of RE4 gets more than its far share of hate. I've played through about half of this game and I can tell you that the senseless naysayers should be ignored. With a controller, this game is simply an awesome gaming experience. First, the not so good. No mouse support. Ouch. Keyboard support for aiming is extremely awkward. If you plan on buying this game, pick up a gamepad. ($20) Second, graphics. This port borrowed from the visually inferior ps2 version of the game, with washed out textures, pre rendered crappy looking cutscences and lacking other visual touches. Beyond this though, the negatives are all up to gaming tastes and if your not partial to the R.E series or do not care for third person shooters, you probably won't like this game. Now the good. First, its intense. This game is demanding of some concentration and effort; there is almost never a moment of downtime, even during the cutscenes. Its the kind of game that simply hard to put down. Second, gameplay is great. Its genuinely fun to fight your way through hoards of zombie like (possessed?) villagers and other enemies. And although you have to do the protect an n.p.c dance in this game, its executed far better than more games and is not that much of an annoyance. The game is also a new take on the zombie theme the series. (you'll see) The story itself will keep you guessing and the game has some great settings and atmosphere.
