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

Ok, you got me. Top notch in every department, actually. The perfect score really says it all. But let me expound. Resident Evil 4 is a very different game than all of its predecessors. I, for one, am not a big fan of change, when I like whats been done

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

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

Resident Evil has reclaimed the throne from not only the survival horror genre but it's possibly even become ‘the’ quintessential Gamecube game in the process. Totally flawless on the Cube, this is one game you simply can’t miss out on.

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 Okay, there are no zombies, but they have been replaced by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.
