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!

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?

Another corny RE game with cheap scares. Should be called an action game but instead is referred to as Survival Horror because for some reason RE still scares people...

Looking at the definitions, people see to be keeping on saying the same thing: 'Resi 4 is the best Gamecube game ever!' Well, you are wrong. Resident Evil 4 is one of the best games ever, period.
The story goes like this. Leon Kennedy (Who was one of the two main characters in Resi 2) has managed to put the incedent in Racoon City behind him. He now works as an agent for the U.S. Government. His first assignment is to rescue Ashley Graham, the president's daughter from a group of people in 'a remote and lonely part of Europe' (Spain, obviously). What he then discovers is that all the villagers are infected with 'Las Plagas', and are all hostile towards him. He must now rescue the villagers daughter and get her out alive.
What makes this such a brilliant game is simple: The gameplay. It's completely different to every other Resi, and is by far the series' biggest turning point so far. It uses an engine more akin to that of an FPS, due to it's over-the-shoulder camera view and laser targeting. It's action is truly relentless, and it never slows down. There is always something to do, and you feel as though you are coming close to death all the time. The graphics and sound are outstanding, and really suck you into the game.
The Resi purists have been fuming about this, saying that it 'dirties the name of Resident Evil'. In my personal opinion, I think this is stupid. While I love the old Resi games, I think it's about time the series moved on. The old survival horror 'find keys, unlock doors, save ammo' concept really is very out of date now. But the original Resis, ecspecially the first, will always be one of my greatest gaming memories.
I really have not felt so excited about a game for years. I went to bed thinking about it, and woke up wanting to play it, and I have not felt that way about a game for a long, long time.

A game that apparently, the owners of definitions 10, 11, 13, and 14 have not played. For starters, the graphics are terrific for the Gamecube. Maybe they didn't work so hard on the Ps2, but that's because the Ps2 sold out. (So did every other system, but that's besides the point) The storyline is o.k., but not the main feature of the game. (something Killer7 should've thought about...) The real draw to the game is the combat. It takes a intuitive new look on shooters that will be copied for years to come. Specifically, the 3rd-person aspect.
Many RE fanboys continue to hate the game for it's new look on the series. This is NOT what a normal person should think. A NORMAL person will enjoy the game for what it is, a shooter. and for all you fanboys out there, maybe Re4 was just a marketing ploy to get more money, so they could make more RE's like the old ones. (Maybe not Re5, and Re:UC but some...)
Personally, I loved the game. It had a killer draw, some kickass graphics, and some amazing guns. A veteran gamer will enjoy this game (If you haven't already played it) and even newbs to the series will get a kick out of it. But there will still be some fanboys who are SO opposed to it that they refuse to play it, I say to them this: To each their own. You don't want to play Resident Evil's most successful game to date, fine by me. Have fun with Dead Aim.

Me:I like Resident Evil 4 because of it's great graphics, creepy atmosphere, and nice guns.
RE Fanboy: I hate RE4 because it departed from the original mechanics of the series!!!
Me:Don't you have a life outside of RE?
RE Fanboy: Yeah, I also play kingdom hearts, and-
Me: *Pulls out Handcannon and blows him to shit.*

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.
