Upon arrival, it's clear that the village's inhabitants will stop at nothing to stop Leon in his tracks. It's important to note that they are not zombies, but rather humans who appear to have gone a bit mad. This means that they attack with more

Assisting you in the disposal of these not-zombies is a considerable armory of high-powered weapons. Before long, you'll ditch the pistol in favor of the shotgun, scoped rifle, sub-machine gun, rocket launcher, and numerous other toys, all of which have

Resident Evil is credited for inventing the Survival Horror genre and for period of time, ruled it as the best of the best. But quickly, the series was challenged and began to lose its shine. To win back the Survival Horror genre and the fans, dramatic

What RE4 does is put the "survival" feel back into the survival horror genre. It's nice to see the originator back on the bloody cutting edge.

A relentlessly compelling title that feels so rich with atmosphere, breathless excitement and palpable tension that virtually all our minor quibbles go out of the window.

If first person shooters and other action games leave too much to be desired when it comes to story, pace and atmosphere, RE4 will be refreshing.

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 looking GameCube game ever released and features a story better than 99% of those on the market. Most importantly, though, it does all the little things that allow the game to focus on letting the player enjoy the ride.

I hate survival horror games. I’ve found them to be tedious and unnerving. However, there’s something about Resident Evil 4 that draws me back again and again. Maybe it’s the action-packed gameplay, the execution of the story, or even the

This brings me to the new enemies, which is another big change in the series. Instead of the classic zombies that have been used in every game throughout the Resi series, we now have crazy villagers that are a lot more difficult and advanced to

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

But "Resident Evil 4" is somewhat of a departure from its predecessors in that the story and enemies differ from past games. Leon S. Kennedy, a rookie cop who first made his appearance in "Resident Evil 2," is the hero of this new tale. He is now a U.

The zombies are only the tip of the iceberg of changes. Resident Evil 4 is the first Resident Evil game to sport an over-the-shoulder camera. It makes aiming a breeze and is perfect for capturing that chainsaw mincing through Leon's neck. But don't get

When it was first unveiled we passed comment that it looked like a crusty old PlayStation 2 game with Wii controls added on as an afterthought. Those who have played the import version have said the same thing. You basically travel around a dark forest

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.

Part of Resident Evil 4’s charm comes in recognising the various sources that have inspired Mikami throughout the development cycle. The initial stages of the game owe much to Tobe Hooper’s horror classic "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre," with the

Resident Evil popularized the survival/horror genre when it debuted on the Sony PlayStation in 1996. Despite its success, the preceeding installments of the series held fast to a formula that seemed increasingly out of place as time passed it by.
