A great, kickass game that all the resident evil fanboys can't stop bitching about because it changed it's style. Look dumbasses, the other 4 (Resident Evil 1, 2, 3, Code Veronica being the 4th) were great, but you can't expect Capcom and the RE team to not change the series' style because you don't want them to. They changed the RE formula so it could appeal to a bigger playing crowd. And guess what? IT WORKED. It is extremely narrow-minded of you to not want the series to change just because you don't want it to.

By far the best gamecube game and resident evil game ever. good scares, awesome gore, great script, and unbelivable sound and graphics make this the most breath taking graphical and action game for gamecube. it fucking owns an di fucking love it.

The best resident evil game ever. Your weapons have lasers for u to aim and blow guys' heads off. The AI is smarter than some slow dumass zombie. There are also tight unlockable weapon as well as 2 minigames after beating the game. Takes about 20 hours to beat and has great replay value. It is worth the money.
Resident evil 4 has no zombies this doesn't look scary...ahh shit a chainsaw whore just chopped my head off. DAYUM!

Though a lot of people bitch about a departure from the original resident evil trilogy, this game incorporates a new and fresh twist to the series. The writers leave the concept of the T-virus and the G-virus behind, and instead pursue the story of a religious cult in rural Spain that have resurrected body controlling parasites called Las Plagas.
Leon S. Kennedy, the protagonist of Resident Evil 4, is the main character in this game. As Leon, you will have to navigate through a village, a castle, and an island, all while protecting the president's daughter Ashley Graham (who for some reason cannot hold a damn gun and help you out in the game) and while resisting corruption from one of the parasites that was injected into him in the early part of the story.
The game, is absolutely amazing, and is a must to anyone that owns a Nintendo Gamecube, PS2, or Wii.

Dude 1: man just had a dream about humans that had been mutated into either mindless savages, giants, partially invisible insects, and regenerators that can heal themselves!
Dude 2: thats the epitome of Resident Evil 4 man

Kickass game that rules all of 2005 so far. Right now for the GC, but also coming out for the far inferior PS2. Capcom, why take a great game and defile it on the PS2? The game will look horrible!

All right, This is not only one of the best games ever, Resident Evil or otherwise, but it is the most overtalked about game in the entire world. The only games that have gotten this much attention are Guitar Hero, Metroid, and Diablo II.
RE:4 is different from its predecessors right off the bat, because it uses live action sequences in the GC version and FMV in the PS2 version(to save time and quality, but it takes a bit longer to load them.).
The game also uses an over the shoulder camera, though the original workings of it did have times where it had the old static camera. Though it really is great for aiming, its at an angle so aiming straight is actually a little left than it would be. There are also times where the camera can hurt you, which is why its a good idea to have a stereo-capable TV to know what around you
Also, the zombies are gone, and replaced with brainwashed, parasite infected cultists. These guys don't want to eat you, they just want you dead. They can use weapons too, so watch it.
A new aiming mechanic was added, thanks to the power of the systems. Now, you can aim for the leg and they'll trip, or aim for the head to stun/kill them.
Most of the game takes place at night, and there are some parts that can get to you at times, like the novistadors. These humans experimented on with the Las Plagas(the parasite, and spanish for the plague.) and turned into bugged freaks. BRRR!
People have bitched about which system its better on. Honestly, it all depends on which system you play it on first to like it. The GC has shorter loading times, a higher polygon count, but Leon S.K.'s hair is blond. BLOND! also, the game is on 2 disks, with one lvl on an ENTIRE DISK! however, the PS2 version has more goodies at the expense of a lower polygon count, one disk, longer load times, and a shallower pixel fog. But, you get stuff like a new mini-mission, starring Ada Wong, and a costume for ashley that makes her invicible and incarriable, making pro mode much easier.
And, if you beat both modes in the PS2, you get access to the mother of all weapons: the PRL-412. this nifty Laser can defeat ANY enemy within two hits gaurenteed! for bosses, you can just flash them and they die. though it is very big, it will become your best friend.
In short, either version is great, so just play it on whichever system you have. If you have both, your choice, if neither, buy one of the systems, or go to a friend who has one of the systems and play it. You will love it. and to all those that say anything else, YOU ARE A BIASED GAMER AND SHOULD BE HUNG AND QUARTERED FOR YOUR OFFENSE IN THE IMAGE OF THE GAMING COMMUNITY!

Seriously, stop talking about Resident Evil 4. Its two years old, for Christ's sake. It should already be out of style. It never revolutionized anything except the RE series. You don't see anyone still talking about Super Mario Bros. on a daily basis, do you?

An overrated game that shouldn't at all be overrated. It's a run and gun type of game that is truely a disgrace to the other Resident Evil games. To newbies of the series it was great but to the people that played the games of the past and to those that were fans were truly dissapointed and left with the feeling that Capcom had sold out. I agree with those people.
Reasons why I disliked it:
1. Enemies dropped ammo which removed the point of surviving when things are straight up given to you.
2. Money(WTF)
3. Tough macho main character who was pretty much the sterotypical american male hero in any action film.
4. Was not scary not even on a large television with surround sound a dark basement at 5 o clock in the morning.

Get ready for the ultimate spoonfeeding experience yet. Why worry about looking for ways to survive in Resident Evil 4 when we will automatically give them to you?
