This is NOW a great game. If I were to write this review a couple weeks ago I would have given this game an overall score of 2. It was that bad! Controls were disabling & the graphics were depressing. This was the worst port from GC, PS2 to PC I have ever seen. Thanks to Ubisoft for the new patch. I guess they heard all the negative comments for the port PC version of RE4 & did not want their reputation to go down with it! In my opinion, the un-patched version is way worse than the PS2 version. No lighting effects, dull textures & bland feel to the whole environment. Yep, it was coffee with no sugar!

The patch: The improved textures, colours, shading & lighting now make this game now playable & enjoyable! I cannot stop playing this game, I even like to let myself get killed every now & then so i can play through the same area in different ways. Coffee with sugar anyone?? yes plz

Even after the patch, there are some improvements that still need to be done. *Needs a better menu system – doesn’t feel user friendly. *Simple things like using your mouse to scroll through the menu and inventory
*patch should include mouse support (I have even heard the mouse aim mod has its problems too) = still not fixed
*For those who like to use a rumble pad like me would like to actually feel some RUMBLE. No vibration or force feedback support :-(
*They should add an “exit the game option” in the menu (Alt+F4 doesn’t feel right)

But even if there is a long list of fixes or improvements that need & have been done, the game's undisputed excellence stands out! This is by far the most entertaining game I have played. Non-stop action will keep your hands on the controls ready to make your next move.

An absolute must have!
