Some people may have minor issues with the control and camera aspects, but once you get past the first hour or so they'll find yourself being sucked in a game which is so consistently excellent that it's suitable to call it a masterpiece. Hands down, the

An area that kind of let me down was the audio; it features support for Dolby Pro Logic II decoders but it doesn’t take full advantage of the hardware. Yes, there’s mulit-channel support and the sound does come at you from all sides, but it’s not

Anyone who knows the Resident Evil series knows that it has been a franchise with its major high points and low points. Also, like many of you, I came close to fearing the thought of another Resident Evil game. Therefore I was skeptical and also somewha

I have never had so much fun getting into a game as I have had with Resident Evil 4. Everything is just perfect about this game. The storyline, the graphics, the sound, the fear the game gives you. It is a A+ effort from Capcom.

If Resident Evil brought survival horror to the masses, then this outing redefines it. It evolves the genre to such a degree that going back isn’t even an option. And man does it get creepy. Very little grandiose scores, just Leon and all the weapons

Two years ago during the Nintendo Media Briefing we were shown a video of Resident Evil 4 which we thought was what the final game would look like. It was not the first time I had seen footage of the game but what I saw was simply astounding. You can

Until a few days ago, I would have described myself as anti-Resident Evil. I rented the first game in the series for PlayStation back when it was fairly new, played through most of it, and didn’t see what the fuss was about. Then I heard that the

Let me just say this, there have never been just zombies in a Resident Evil game. There has always been a variety of ugly creatures to exterminate and not much has changed in that respect in RE4. Okay, there are no zombies, but they have been replaced by

The story is told through a number of cut-scenes, and Capcom have gone to huge lengths to make them all fit together into a cohesive story. The cut-scenes blend into the main game seamlessly as the compelling story of RE4 unwinds before your very eyes.

Back in 1996 Capcom released a game for the Playstation, they didn’t know it at the time, but they had given birth to what would become one of the most beloved series of games on any system. This game was simply titled Resident Evil and put players in a m

The hit zone-based targeting system, for example, makes anything else in the genre seem obsolete and primitive. It’s that sophisticated.

No game is perfect, but Resident Evil 4 (RE4) comes about as close as you can get. I'm starting to think this could be the best video game I've ever played. A masterpiece of great length and substance, RE4 is such a huge leap forward for the series that

the best game for the GameCube? That's tough to say, especially when multiplayer features are added into the equation, something Resident Evil 4 lacks but certainly does not suffer without. Either way, I'm not going to bother advocating caution and sugges
