THE GOOD: The good thing I like about this game is that the camera angles were taken out, unlike the old games. Your view is behind Leon/Ashley through the whole game. This game has a weird story behind it, but the story went together good. Another good thing about this game is that there is a laser on the bottom of the gun that shows where you are pointing on the creature. The pointer makes it easy to point and fire in the most effected places. The weapons on this game are 10 times better than any other Resident Evil Game.
THE BAD: The bad thing I hate about this game is that the parasites inside the villagers. Some of the villagers would have a parasite in there bodies, and they give lord saddler control in everything they do. Well The downfall in this games is that when you go to kill these villagers you want to shoot in the most effective place on the human body, The head. Well sometimes when you shoot the head of a villager, a parasite will emerge from...
THE GOOD: - Relentless action gameplay - Reaction cutscenes - Amazing graphics - Weapons upgrade feature - More extras than it's GameCube counterpart
THE BAD: - Predictable story - Too much action, not enough story - No Alt. Costumes in FMV's - Limited camera movement
SUMMARY: From the eyes of a hardcore Resident Evil fan, this does not deserve the title of Horror NOR Resident Evil.
This game is probably one of the best games to come for the PS2, and I'm not gonna say otherwise. The gameplay was thrilling and it always left you breathless after your first inexperienced playthroughs. The Extra features like the alternate costumes, the Ada Wong game called "Separate Ways", and the extra weapons were definetly an expansion for the game. The weapon upgrades was pretty much another reason for why this game was so good, you only had enough money for a few upgrades...when in reality, you needed a...
THE GOOD: - Great boss fights - Great enemies - Great weapons and shooting system - Great unlockable weapons such as the PRL 412 after beating PRO mode and etc.. - Great set of unlockables after you beat the game once - You can play as Ada Wong from RE2 in her own missions as she is working for Wesker - Mercaneries is so fun and addictive - Pro mode is not too hard - Great new feature which is the new dodging feature which displays the buttons you need to press in order to dodge moves from enemies and bosses - And alot more!
THE BAD: - Mercaneries is a pain in the ass to beat - Leon can't do basic moves like punches and kicks until he has to shoot the Ganados in their knees and faces - Doesn't seem that scary compared to the other RE games but still a kickass game
SUMMARY: Returning to center stage is S.T.A.R.s rookie and one time resident of Raccoon City, Leon S. Kennedy (RE2) who is now...
THE GOOD: Everything from game-play to graphics and story. There are no boring bits.
THE BAD: Well there are a few minor faults as with every game but nothing major.
SUMMARY: I could just summarise the whole game in one sentence; the best action game on the PS2. But that would be pointless. What makes Resi 4 so good? For starters, the graphics are of unbelievable quality from far away or close up. Even the monsters as common as the Ganados must have taken a long time to make so perfect. It almost feels a shame to blow their heads off and waste near-perfect art just to survive on the game for a little longer. Second there's Leon's variety of gruesome deaths. Whether it is his head being chopped off by Dr Salvador, being burned by acid, his body being spiked by an Iron Maiden, or just being killed by a Ganado, they are all visually stunning. The whole game is about rescuing Ashley, and when you find her, you also notice that she's...
THE GOOD: Camera style Weapon reality Targeting system Music and sounds Graphics Enemies that will stop at nothing to get you
THE BAD: NO ZOMBIES! Some glitches Some save file problems Only able to actions such as kicks at certain times
SUMMARY: If you don't want to go to jail, but want to kill people, whilst having a purpose, then look no further than Resident Evil 4.
As you can see by what was written above, the good things are much more than the bad.
The camera style in Resident Evil 4 is damn-near perfect. It is an over the shoulder camera view, making you feel like you are in the game, but not so close that you can't see anything. Using the right analog stick, it can be adjusted, making the odd-times the camera is a problem, not a problem.
The weapon reality in Residetn Evil 4 is amazing. From knives to handguns, and shotguns to rocket launchers, the amount of ways to utterly annihilate the...
Gameplay is just insanely fun, because of the wide variety of enemies; the awesome targeting system; and the very fun location-specific damage, where you can shoot the enemy in the leg, chest, head, and it will effect them accordingly.
Amazing boss fights that are all quite different.
Awesome and very diverse set of environments.
Great set of weapons and the ability to upgrade them.
Interactive cut-scenes that keep you on the edge of your seat.
Amazing A.I., that will knock down doors, windows to get into a house that you've hidden in.
Fantastic graphics that are easily some of the best ever seen on the PS2.
Full 3D environments, unlike the other RE games with pre-rendered backgrounds.
Awesome wide-screen presentation.
Fast and endless action that will never bore you.
An interesting story that will definitely keep you playing until you complete it.
The Resident Evil series makes a huge comeback with Resident Evil 4. By this time, most fans of the series have lost interest, other than those hardcore fans. Because quite frankly, the games have gotten stale.
Resident Evil 4 addresses the problems of its predecessors and brings new life to the series. For starters the horrible control system of the past has been removed for a brand new easy flowing system. The graphics are downright amazing whether you play it on PS2 or Gamecube. You will get a lot of gameplay out of this. For me it took 28 hours. 28 hours that I wouldn't trade away. This is quite possibly the best game ever to be released on the Playstation 2, and easily the best survivial horror game ever to be introduced. The story is done well, with beautiful cut scenes. There are many different monsters to fight and all are done creatively with different and intersting ways to deafeat several monsters and bosses. Resident Evil 4 features a system where you acquire...
THE GOOD: Just about everything. The storyline, the characters, the twists, the action, new aiming system, tons of fun extras, music, sound effects, the enemy AI, and gameplay in general.
Oh, and a personal preference - NO JUMPY PARTS! Yes folks! You no longer need spare underwear to play!
THE BAD: Not too many things here. About the aiming system - People who complain about the movement and aiming just need to get used to it a little more because IMO, it's great as it is. I'll go more into it in the detailed section.
If you like those jumpy parts (dogs shattering windows in a quiet area, resulting in a messed pair on underwear) then you will be disappointed, because there are none to be found here.
The one thing I didn't like about this game are the scenes where you have to press buttons that appear on screen in order to avoid a death. Sure, they give you a fairly good amount of time to hit the buttons, but I would rather...
THE GOOD: Good boss fights Great graphics Balanced difficulty Ashley is hot. Simple shooting system
THE BAD: The camera can be a problem sometimes. Their's a glitch that corrupts your save date if you save using certain kinds of memory cards. Some enemies (Like that one whereing a bag on his head) take too long to kill.
SUMMARY: I'm not instrested in horror games but I like this one. This is the only Resident Evil game I like and the only horror game I like. It doesn't quite live up to it's hype though. Read through my review for reasons to my opinion.
Graphics: The graphics are great. The people and the blood are so detailed. This game will make you think you're playing an XBox! And did I mention that Ashley is hot? Rating: 10/10
Gameplay: The shooting system is simple unlike other 3D shooting games (except the Grand Theft Auto series which I also like) which is the reason I actually like this one. Their's...
THE GOOD: -Relentless AI that will test you to the limits -Interactive cutscenes -Great boss fights -Amazing storylines -Lots and lots of weapons to inflict bloody mayhem and carnage -Best graphics seen on PS2
THE BAD: -Poor camera angle -Letterbox style display for those not playing on a widescreen TV -Inaccurate aiming
SUMMARY: The camera angle and the aiming lost this game that 0.2 it needed to recieve the perfect score. Because other than that, this game truly is one of the best games ever.
There is no slow, easy pace to begin with. From the word go you're thrown right into the heart of the action. Forget conserving ammo like in previous Resident Evils. Forget mindless, brainless zombies walking in single file towards you. These guys carry the goods - pitchforks, torches, dynamite, molotav cocktails and a damn nasty parasite inside of their bodies, that has a nasty habit of decapitating anyone who happens to...
