    This games tank controlls are really tough in the beginning, but you learn them eventually. The story is very bad, and the one liners are just awfull, but it is still a masterpiece.

    Story: 8, Gameplay: 9, Graphics: 9. Although they stirp away the "survival horror" from the series with this one, but you can't deny that the series evolved with this game, it's one of the first video game that blew my mind.

    An unfortunate port, with many bugs, very poor graphics to be from that year and about 30 FPS very unstable ... But, it is very good in gameplay, you could say it is the worst port but, but it is enjoyable due to the mods and its accessibility.

    Adorei o jogo apesar da jogabilidade limitada em ter que ficar parado pra disparar a arma, pra época são gráficos bons, a história é meio sem noção e a personagem Ashley é extremamente irritante.

    First change of Resident Evil formula to more action oriented TPP. And it was a damn good one. What's even better is that it wasn't only action oriented, but it had it's fair share of scares too (Regenerators, Iron Maidens...uhhh). I can't think of any obvious flaws in this game.

    Очень крутая игра своего времени. Для 2007 года графика радовала, мутанты были жутковаты, нападали внезапно. НО, это не зомби! Вот тут разработчики отошли от своей идеи и сделали жителей деревушек похожих на мутантов, но не зомби. В целом игра проходится расслаблено, напряжения сильного не испытываешь, больше похожа на шутер. Для своего времени отличный боевик с отличной графикой и звуком.Очень крутая игра своего времени.

    Great game.
    Reminescent of rail shooters.
    Controller gunplay isnt horrible once you get used to it.
    Story becomes outlandish once "Rasputin" dies but this isnt detrimental.
    Subtitles would be nice.
    Annoying escort character isnt actually annoying and more playable segments as her would have been enjoyable.
    15h duration is enough for a story-only game.

    An amazing modern take on the traditional survival horror. Some aspects such as the controls feel a little dated now but it still plays great and is a must have for fans of the series early games.

    I've always been a big fan of the franchise until they got this crap. With a story and script that completely escaped the original idea of ​​the game. From a horror game to a third-person junk action game.

    I was ready to delete the game and never play it again just after about 15 minutes into the game. I was that annoyed with it at first. Luckily I didn't because it turned out to be quite an enjoyable game. After you get used to the problems.

Luckily I didn't because it turned out to be quite an enjoyable game. After you get used to the problems.

    So starting with the bad. The controls are awful - I mean they are in a classic resident evil style but somehow I expected it to be better. It's not that old of a game now. The camera is all over the place and the fact that it's moving independently from the movement makes it really frustrating at first. On top of that there is no strafing, meaning that dodging or avoiding enemies is a nightmare. And you can't shoot while walking.

    To top that off just after the intro you encounter one of the most difficult levels in the entire game. You're stuck with just your gun and a horde of "zombies" going after you which you have to hold off for a certain amount of time. Definitely not an easy task to do.

    But it gets better and once you get used to the controls and how to handle everything the game actually starts being enjoyable.

    The story is not worth mentioning because it's rather silly. You are a bodyguard trying to find the presidents daughter in assume what is Italy. You follow the rumours that's she is in a remote village. You go in. And you get to fight off hordes of zombies and monsters to save her. Well, not technically zombies but close enough. That's the whole story - silly but does the job.

    The level design is really nice. The enemies are varied enough to enjoy and the whole campaign feels just right in the length. There is always a sensation of you running out of ammo which makes you save it all up and use different weapons on different occasions. Apart from wonky controls and lack of ability to walk and shout, and strafing the combat feels nice and tactical.

    There is a problem where you can skip a very important item once or twice that makes the game extremely harder but having learned two hours later I was really not happy to re-do the whole thing and I pushed on. The ammo got even scarcer but I managed to get through it which gave me even more satisfaction. The game is hard on times but it's fair.

    Overall I really enjoyed it and I'm glad I stuck out the first part out.    … Expand

    This game is fantastic. It seems like all I hear on reviews about the PC port is how much it sucks compared to a console, but really it isn't that bad. Sure it might take some getting used to, and the controls are a bit lacking but I learned it and it soon became second nature. That aside, it is one of the greatest games I've ever played. It is very immersive and it's hard to put it down.

    RE 1 and 2 were clearly major hits that propelled the series into almost countless novels, comic books, movies, merchandise and of course all the spin-off games. Once the series made it to RE2, Capcom of course released RE 3, which wasn't hated... but it was boring. Which is probably the worst insult you can give to a video game.

Once the series made it to RE2, Capcom of course released RE 3, which wasn't hated... but it was boring. Which is probably the worst insult you can give to a video game. At least if you hate something you are mad because you wanted something else or something more. It was clear to Capcom that just using the original formula of survival horror wasn't going to work for RE4. This is where everything changed for the series, and quite dramatically, not minor.

    It was the first time ammo conservation was too easy, especially for a seasoned RE player. The voice acting in this one was quite bad, considering how it was their first triple A release. The Spanish characters speak using some generic English accent and often say 'bloke', which is an Australian term. According to Americans, all people outside of America (Capcom's translation team) are a conglomerate of random things merely outside of America.I get that the voice acting in RE1 was horrible, but the funding was very low and it was a game from 1996, not 2005.

    The game was far from scary as it was trying too hard to entertain. Seeing "zombies" place traps and pick up chainsaws turned the initial (and anticipated) opening experience from bread and butter zombie fighting to just silly, over-the-top, juvenile attempts at horror. As the game progressed on, it shifted into an even worse, bad, pre-juvenille Halloween scare-show that your parents would take you to. Every monster was trying too hard to scare you, and that just defeated the purpose immediately. What made the originally RE games scary was the remote feeling of being left behind with zombies, not on some kind of freak show where monsters from every bad 80's movie keep calling you over to look at them like an attention starved drama queen.

    And the I think the worst insult I can give this game is that it was BORING. I couldn't bring myself to play it after 10 hours or so. Capcom just took a giant dookie on this game, and copied the same crap that Konami was doing for Resident Evil ("epic" boss fights against giants, cinema like cut scenes which make no sense in a survival horror game). It was Capcom's all out attempt to re-make a game that was amazing when it first came out and when challanged with making something new and good again they failed both times. First with RE:3, which was just a boring, hastily put together copy of RE:2, and then with RE:4 which was just a re-done franchise and almost near copy of every generic PS2 action game.    … Expand

    Dear capcom just do a one good thing in your life and give us a good PC port of RE4!
    Is it to hard to make a new PC port and release it on Steam?
    I think no.

    The best bit is that you can experience the whole story again through the eyes of a completely different character, thus unwrapping further details about the plot. This kind of storytelling is not found too often and it was certainly a pleasure to undertake.

    This is actually technically inferior to the console versions, and it badly hurts the experience. Just because it works on the PC doesn't make it a PC game - ask for your fiver back, Capcom. [Apr 2007, p.84]
