5 stars (Must Buy) - I bought this game thinking it was just another game. I wanted something to add to my collection. But when I got this game, I was surprised. There isn't anything wrong! The graphics are beautiful, the controls are fairly easy to get used to, and they allow for smooth gameplay. The sound effects are incredible. It makes you feel like a movie. Get this game, a sweet TV, and surround sound. It makes it feel like you're in the game. This is a MUST have game. But make sure to wait for the PS2 version. It's going to have more feautures. =)
4 stars (Resident Evil 4) - I have to admit, I hate horror games. But this is game is different. First of all it's not a first person and its really not a third person. You have an over the shoulder view which really suits the game well. You are right in the action. People are coming at you right and left but you feel kind of helpless(especially with low ammo). It does not hurt that the graphics are gorgeous either. Another plus for the game is that the buttons could be mapped any better. This is one of the few games that I'm completely happy with the way the buttons are mapped. I also like how you can upgrade your weapons. Last but not least, I enjoy how the background music changes once someone start walking towards you.
My only complaint with the game is that the hit detection is kinda off. Sometimes I find myself shooting someone in the head but they don't even slow down. That doesn't happen much but when ammo is scarce, it hurts.
2 stars (Decent game, though highly overrated. And doesn't deserve the title Resident Evil) - Resident Evil 4 is a decent game, really. But it shouldn't have been labeled and marketed as a Resident Evil game. The only connections to the Resident Evil plotline are a few references that seem forced. It also lacks the two things that make a game feel like a Resident Evil game, tension and exploration. |
