Strengths: Fresh story; refined controls; fantastic new camera view; more weapons and ammo for more action-packed gameplay; wonderful graphics and sound; tons of enemies; tons of fun!
Weakness: No quick weapon switch; no strafing; could use an extra checkpoint or two
With Resident Evil 4, Capcom has successfully -- triumphantly -- taken the franchise to the next level. It's really emphasized the "survival" in survival horror, too. You're oftentimes on the run for your life. And villagers, much smarter than any zombie, team up, dodge bullets, and do other nasty things. Then there are the boss fights, which are unexpectedly brilliant. This game is extremely...
Strengths: Best RE title yet, best graphics on Gamecube, new camera system, new aiming system, 20+ hour to complete first time, lots of weapons and enemies to kill, more emphasis on action, lots of replay value
Weakness: No grading system at the end of the game
Wow, where to begin. This may end up as one of my favorite games EVER, and I've been playing games since the Atari 2600. Easily one of the best games this generation has to offer. Mikami and co. had the guts to completely change the Resident Evil formula by getting rid of fixed camera angles, pre-rendered backgrounds and other elements of the RE series that we all loved, or hate. In RE4, there's...
Strengths: Excellent Atmosphere Excellent Graphics Excellent Sound Very Immersive
Weakness: Aiming is slow and sometimes imprecise. No strafing, slow turning.
Resident Evil 4 is far above any game in the series and far above any survival horror game ever. The game is filled with atmosphere (as are most survival horror games), but Resident Evil 4 also has a solid shooting engine (if sometimes slow or imprecise) and is filled with action. The camera is now behind the player and this completely changes things. You can actually see whats ahead of you,...
Strengths: Excellent game play, graphics, 3rd person over the shoulder view, and it is spooky as hell.
Weakness: Absolutely none.
The best survival horror game ever. Resident Evil 4 tops them off. There is an over the shoulder camera view that works excellent. You don't fight zombies in this game, but rather towns fold. Nevertheless, it's still just as frightening as fighting zombies in the previous game. If you are a fan of survival horror, or even if you aren't, you must check out this game.
Strengths: great sounds,great voices,tons of action,great targeting system,and pretty much every thing ese
Weakness: nothing
This game is the best game i have ever played. It is my vavorite game. I can play it for hour on top of hours it is the best game ever made. Capcom did a great job creating this game. The sound is amazing. There is tons of action and I mean tons. The graphics are amazing. I suggest this game to anyone
Strengths: Great graphics, presentation, new control scheme, over the back camera angle.
Weakness: Does not contain bonuses that PS2 version has, aiming could be better, not as scary as the old RE games.
Capcom kind of ran out of steam with the Resident Evil franchise but they reinvented the fourth installment for the Gamecube, and in my opinion, it's the best one yet. The graphics, sound and presentation are some of the best of this console generation. The new analog control scheme and camera angle make a world of difference. There were so many times in the old games where I would die because...
Strengths: Creepy music, Great Environment, Imaginative enemies, Good voice acting, New and better control system, Superior Graphics
Weakness: The aiming of the grenades aren't that great. The last guy was too easy IMHO. Some popping is noticable when playing the bonus games. But this is a nick pick.
Great experience even if your not a Resident Evil fan. Well worth the money. There are multiple bonuses one can go for: Soundtrack CD, Behind the Scenes DVD, Strategy Guide, and Tin Edition. I went for the behind the scenes DVD bonus. But you can download this and the Music off the net, so I would say go for the Strategy Guide or Tin Edition. Things I enjoyed: Enemies introduced at the right...
Strengths: Everything
Weakness: Now i have to wait for the next one.
Resident Evil 4 is ba far the best entry in the series to date. All I can say everytime I pop it in the 'Cube is "wow". The graphics are beautifully done in way that makes me glad they dropped the classic pre-rendered screens. The sound effectis are so awesome too. You don't know fear until you are walking along in a forest beckdrop with the sounds of a deadly enemy just around the corner. The...
Strengths: Graphics, Gameplay, Sound
Weakness: Absolutely nothing
Wow. Resident Evil 4 brought huge changes into the series and somehow, it ended up being one of the best games ever produced. The graphics are simply beautiful -- every environment is unique and there's some very good character designs. The sound is good because of the haunting musical score and the very fitting sound effects which draw you into the game. It's worth noting that the game also...
Six years have passed since Raccoon City was destroyed and the government has dismantled the Umbrella Corporation from the inside-out. But the terror is not over. Now a U.S. Agent, former Raccoon Police Officer Leon Kennedy has been dispatched on a mission to Europe to save the Presidents daughter from a "crazed organization" that bares a striking behavioral resemblance to creatures found in the...

Where are the zombies? Gamers and journalists alike have asked the question more times than we could count. And always developer Capcom has replied with the same answer: that there are none.

It's with an extreme amount of pleasure that I can inform you that this is no longer the case; it's almost as remarkable that the series that both refined and saturated the genre is now the one to put it to sleep. Resident Evil 4 has arrived as a completely fresh gaming experience that will both astound fans of the series and quiet its detractors. It's Action-Adventure gaming at its absolute...

The most recent in the series that made the survival-horror genre popular, Resident Evil 4 takes on every major gameplay complaint that's ever been leveraged against the series and squashes them like bugs. Possibly the best survival horror game of all time, and certainly one of the scariest, it qualifies as a game you should own if you're old enough to buy it. Parents Beware: It earns its Mature...
