    This was the point of the franchises downfall. resident evil 4 is the second worst game of the franchise, followed by 8.

    Great gameplay, fun and replayable. The antagonists have charisma, and are memorable characters. No matter how much time passes, we continue to enjoy re4 on different systems. 10/10

    One of the best game in the resident evil series, revolutionary and creator of a new genre.

    RE4 is rightfully called one of the best games of all time - it's simply stunning to witness. It's excellent pacing, enemy and weapon design and music are incredible, and sometimes it's hard to believe that this level of polish was even possible over 15 years ago, with how Resident Evil 4 tramps even a lot of modern third-person shooters and horrors.

    Hands down the best resident evil game. It's thrilling, it has good puzzles and the atmosphere is great. The controls are not the best, but it is an older game.

    most addicting game I have ever played in my entire life. I absolutely LOVE this game, and I really hope one day they remaster it. I would love to play it on PS5. Best game of all time imo

    It was one of the first games I've got after the GameCube purchase, but it took me a while to play it. The game starts really weird, compared to its predecessors, mainly for the reduced horror feeling. It's still there though, but the game focuses more in the action sections. For the franchise, it was the beginning of a distortion in the franchise (which paved the way to RE6).

For the franchise, it was the beginning of a distortion in the franchise (which paved the way to RE6). At least, if one try not to look at the whole franchise, this game is really impressive, with tight controls, good difficult growth and great level design. To this date, it's still my favorite RE game. Maybe this can be changed later. Expand

    RE4 has changed the gaming landscape forever. It was a such a blast to go through. I finished this game so many times than I can count. I love the change it brought to the series even tho it's a departure from the much beloved RE formula. But it was a revolution that was bigger than the RE franchise itself and I appreciate it for it.

    Historically this is a 10 / 10. I think it must have blown everyones minds back then. Today its still very good. The latter half of the game is weaker and the puzzles are kinda weak for RE. Otherwise very solid. Play it on an emulator and scale it up. Looks pretty good.

    I can't explain exactly what makes this game so, so special. It has great everything, some of the best voice acting I've ever heard, the most satisfying gameplay I've seen in years, a great story, amazing characters, good controls once you get used to them. Not nearly as scary as I thought it would be, but this isn't a horror - action game, this is an action/adventure game. Insanely goodI can't explain exactly what makes this game so, so special.

Good graphics even today (tbf, I'm playing the HD version).

    I still can't put my finger on what makes this game so special, but it truly is. The second best game of the 2000s imo.

  2. Simply put, Resident Evil 4 is the tightest, most accessible game in the series and one of the best games out there.
  3. Magnificent. It's a terrific, if tardy, showcase for the GameCube, and it's every bit as worthy as the Halos, the GTAs, and the MGSes of this generation. This is a stunning return to form. (Happy Trails, GMR staff!) [Feb 2005]
