The game itself will last you more than 20 hours, and with the extra content and hidden extras, you'd be doing yourself a big favor if you went out and bought the game as soon as possible.

Simply put, Resident Evil 4 is the tightest, most accessible game in the series and one of the best games out there.

The combat gameplay is unrivaled, especially during some of the very creative boss battles. It's also the longest Resident Evil game yet, with 25 - 30 hours of gameplay on two discs along with a ton of unlockables that will make you want to do it all

When it released for the GameCube nine months ago, Resident Evil 4 injected new life into a series that had become stale and tired. The action was fresh, the story was fresh, the controls were improved and the whole thing looked fantastic. The

If the idea of 20 hours of palpitating living nightmares sounds like your idea of fun, then you have no choice but to part with your cash immediately. If only all videogames were this brilliant.

lost touch with Resident Evil when it jumped ship. Here's your chance to make things right. Resident Evil 4 is Capcom's finest work. Everyone talks about production values, and as much as I hate to look at a game that way, there's no denying how much time

The thing that makes RE4 so much fun is that the developers took a cue from modern zombie films, eschewing the clichéd shuffling zombie in favor of savvier, more intelligent opponents.

RE4 retains the same storyline and features of the GCN version. You play as Leon S. Kennedy, who was also one of the protagonists from Resident Evil 2. Now that Umbrella Corporation has fallen and the world is seemingly rid of the T-virus threat, Leon is

First off, let me say that Resident Evil 4 is a masterpiece. I don't know if the rest of the series was this good, but RE4 is amazing. It has a great story, plenty of action, some puzzles and even believable characters that you actually care about.

Even in these days of a booming games industry releasing hundreds of titles a year, there remain relatively few absolute “must-play” games – games that are so lauded that any hardened gamer feels compelled to give them a go even if they are in a

For those of you not in the know, Resident Evil 4 is a completely different beast from its predecessors. Boasting an amazing new sight and aim system, you're basically standing behind Leon Kennedy as he blows away the baddies and takes on a village of

And most uniquely of all, the single-player-only game easily packs in around 30 hours of gameplay, making it extremely good value for money.

While others would say a lot more has been changed, in essense it's the new camera angle that drives it all. With the jump to the over the shoulder view Capcom needed to throw away the pre-rendered backgrounds and create the new story in a fully

The most radical change in Resident Evil 4 is that there is no zombies, yes, no zombies in a Resident Evil game: that was enough to scare the Club Skill staff to death when heard. Capcom have had a huge success with the series, with the series selling

The story starts off relatively basic. You play the role of Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil 2. In the six years that have passed since Leon escaped the Raccoon City incident and a lot has happened. Umbrella Corporation has folded due to the incident and

Anyway, that being said, the game still looks stellar on my TV. Everything is dark and dismal, yet still remains crisp and clear. The correct “feel” is definitely going on here and that means you will be creeped out on a regular basis. The villagers

GC did it so right and they ported it perfectly over to the PS2. The difference? It’s harder. Seriously. Not as much ammo in this version, but this really adds to the feeling of unease. I thrive on that feeling. Getting to bottom of the clip and having

Clocking in at over 25 hours of gameplay (if you've never played before), RE4 never once bogs down in rehash or mindless repetition, managing to keep the pace on "alert" from start to finish which is a most impressive feat considering most two hour

This is the single best survival horror game ever made, besting even the Silent Hill series in raw visceral thrills. It’s not nearly as scary, but it makes up for it with an incredible story, tons of replay value, and a game length that’s

I doubt there is a single person that has played Resident Evil 4 on either the PS2 or GC would argue against me calling it one of the best games of the year and with good reason. From the moment you see the title screen through to the rolling of the end

Don't be scared of change, though; 98% of what made RE unique is still here. You still use herbs to keep yourself alive, you still have save points to record your progress, and you even have a RE veteran character making a return. That character is Leon,

From 30-foot-tall bosses down to the tiny embroidery on Ada's dress, the overall design and attention to detail is among the best in any game. Which really could be said for almost every aspect of RE4-don't miss this game.

Resident Evil 4, then - a genuinely great addition to the series (sorry, Outbreak and Survivor - you just didn't cut it) back on a Sony console at long last, and it's a sweaty, heart-pounding, buttock-clenching ride. Even when nothing happens, you'll be t

Resident Evil director Shinji Mikami once said that someone could cut his head off if the series had any sequels on a system other than Nintendo's hardware. No one's asking for his head, but such a statement has been nullified with the release of
