Resident Evil 4 is a game great in more ways than i care to type about in this message.If you have a ps2, Get This game!
The story pretty much takes the series in a whole new direction. 6 years have passed since RE: Nemesis and Leon Kennedy is now working as the personal bodyguard for the president's family. One day, the president's daughter gets kidnapped and Leon is sent to rescue her. He follows a lead about her location and he ends up in a small rural village somewhere in europe. The village at first seemed calm and tranquil. Needless to say, it wont stay that way for long.
The gameplay in the game is completely new to the series. The camera is always behind Leon and aiming is done by holding the R1 button and shooting with X. You cant strafe but this adds to the tension of wanting to kill your enemies quickly. The coolest thing about the game tho is the interactive cutscenes. During these scenes, whenever Leon is in danger, a button combo is displayed. You have to quickly press or else Leon is pretty screwed. This make syou feel like your controlling Leon as the story unfolds.
The graphics looks Gorgeous. They completely bring the world of RE4 to life. They look so good, you make want to stop to look around and take in the scenery.
Sound is pretty damn crisp in this game, especially if played in Dolby 5.1. he sound in the game sounds ominous and unsettling that you cant help but feel like your actually there.
This game has a mess-load of content. It includes 3 cool game mods after completing the game and a movie browser so you can enjoy all the beautiful cutscenes in the game.
Resident Evil 4 is an outstanding game. It is upsetting that capcom made the mistake of releasing the previous games exclusively for gamecube but thankfully, they didnt repeat that mistake with Resident Evil 4. This game Rocks!
