Resident Evil 4 (PlayStation 2, 2005)

Resident Evil 4 - Survival Horror at it's best!

I think I'm in love! This is one of my all-time favorite games!

I bought Resident Evil 4 for PS2 the day it came out. I'd read the great reviews for the Gamecube version and expected one of the best Survival Horror games ever made.

Resident Evil 4 delivered. CAPCOM hit the nail on the head with this dynamo of a game. I was blown away immediately at how much easier it is to control the characters in comparison to other Resident Evil games. The graphics are superb for a PS2 game, and the atmosphere the sound and music creates is unbelievable. This game is chock full of bad-*** villians and incredibly cool bosses. I've played through the game 7 times, as well as the mini-games numerous times. Beating the game once on easy is incredibly tough, beating it on Hard is even more challenging. Once you beat the game once you begin to unlock secret weapons, characters, costumes, and mini-games. Overall Resident Evil 4 met and exceeded all my expectations, and I believe it will exceed your expectations as well.

Pros:
- Easier Controls
- Graphics, Sound, Atmosphere
- Laser Aiming and L Trigger Knife Activation
- Faster, Smarter, Deadlier Enemies
- Wicked WTF Bosses
- 2 Unlockable Mini-games featuring Ada Wong
- Unlockable Mercenaries Mini-Game
- 4 Unlockable Weapons
- Amazing Video Sequences
- A Replay Value Through the Roof
- The Merchant
- Pretty Much Everything
Cons:
- Having to wait 3 more years for the next Resident Evil game
- The right passage option after the Farmhouse sequence
- Nothing!!!

Final Verdict:
Graphics 5/5
Audio 5/5
Controls 5/5
Gameplay/Story 5/5
Replay Value 5/5
Overall 5/5

Buy or Rent?: Definately Buy!
This game is one you must have in your collection. Whether you're a fan of survival horror or not, this game will deliver hours upon hours of fun and excitement. I'd buy two, just in case one gets scratched! Just kidding... but seriously, Buy two!
