    By far the best Resident Evil game ever! The new control system and camera angles are great, not to mention the stunning graphics and memorable story. If you haven't played this game yet, you are not a man.

From start to finish, this game was, still is, and always will be worth over all game of the year 2005 and all those shit-loads of awards.

    This is the game to own on Ps2, without a shadow of a doubt. Beautiful graphics, awsome music and voice acting, and great story telling. This game is hard...very hard. You just need to really concentrate on this game, and you will get it, it takes skill to play this game. Even though its the hardest game ive played its the best one ive ever played, do yourselves a favor and get this game.

Also, this game has tons of replay value (as i have completed the game 6-7 times, and 'Separate Ways' 2-3 times) and the Mercenaries Mini Games are a nice little addition. I also find it great how your weapons and cash are transferred over every time you complete the game. The voice acting is great, the animation is smooth and RE4 gets my 10/10.… Expand

    RE4 is one of my favorite games of all time. The graphics really showcase what the PS2 can do, especially in 525p with the component cables. Most of the environments and detail in the scenery/character models are beautifully rendered. I had someone ask me if what I was playing was really a PS2 game.

I had someone ask me if what I was playing was really a PS2 game. The sounds and music are creepy when they need to be and are overall pretty cool to listen to. I'm not sure why so many people have such a problem with the control scheme in RE4. It's ready weapon, aim, and shoot. What is so difficult about that? I agree I would like to be able to move while shooting also, but it's not really feasible with an over-the-shoulder approach. You would need one finger moving the person, another one aiming, and the other one firing. That would be TOO complicated. Making it a FPS would have been a mistake and pre-rendered graphics are out of the question. The lasersighting is more realistic than having a "crosshair" as someone was saying. You're not going to see a crosshair in real life, and unless you want to go into FP for accurate shooting like in MGS (which still wouldn't allow you to move), get used to it. The knife in this game was the greatest thing the game designers have done with the RE series. Easily equippable with L1 at any time and VERY useful, unlike the previous RE installments. The weapons are upgradeable enough to always keep you interested. Side missions are a bonus. Great enemies and boss fights. Looking forward to RE5. 10/10, hands down!… Expand

All cube owners must feel like they have wasted their money.... Thanks Capcom. A great game, and it shows how little there is difference between Gc and PS2.

    RE 4 on PS2 is easily the best of the series but God, is it hard! Like all the other Resi games you are never inundated with ammo and similarly here, you have literally the bare minimum to get by with. This can feel a little frustrating when you really want to blow an enemies head off but all you have to do it with is a pistol that seems no more powerful than a pea-shooter.

This can feel a little frustrating when you really want to blow an enemies head off but all you have to do it with is a pistol that seems no more powerful than a pea-shooter. The big improvement with this RE game has to be the ability to buy new and more powerful weapons and there are plenty available. Once you buy or aquire a weapon you still have to find ammunition as this cannot (unfortunately) be bought. More than once I've found myself with an assortment of 8 different high-power guns and not a single bullet in any of them! The game is programmed so well however that when you need health or bullets you will find them but not in any great number so you have to be extremely careful how you use them. Save points are again via the Typewriter but this time no need for those annoying ink ribbons. These also seem perfectly placed which is vital when the gameplay is this tough. The Bosses are extremely hard with some of the later levels seemingly very long. It's pretty much a certainty that after you have killed a Boss, you will be down to your last bullet and 1 bar of your life. This is the beauty of the game though. The difficulty curve is absolutely spot-on and although there is little margin for error, everything still seems achievable. I can't recommend RE 4 highly enough.… Expand

    No nostalgia bias here. I quite literally just beat the game. I loved every second of it. I was worried I wouldn't like the gameplay at first cause it felt weird to me, but after I adjusted I loved it. I never got bored a single time. I never complained once. Everything about this game was just so damn good. The fact it's almost 20 years old at the time of me writing this. It holds upNo nostalgia bias here. I quite literally just beat the game.

Everything about this game was just so damn good. The fact it's almost 20 years old at the time of me writing this. It holds up insanely well. It doesn't look bad, the voice acting really isn't bad for the time. I seriously don't have any negatives. 10/10 to me. I do plan on getting the remake one day, but no time soon. I only paid $6 for this on PS5. Damn good deal. I honestly don't think I'll like the remake as much. Mainly cause of the gameplay differences and the fact I'll know what's coming, but I assume it'll be good too.… Expand

    A obra mais perfeita e completa.
    Revolucionou todo o cenário de games. Totalmente merecedor do GOTY 2005!!
    Resident Evil 4 é o pilar da franquia dos RE.

    Excelente jogo, é impressionante como você sente vontade de zerar mais e mais vezes. Por mim é o melhor jogo da franquia e um dos melhores do Ps2

    Not playing through it from beginning to end would be missing out on a major milestone in gaming history, not to mention a hell of a lot of fun. [Dec 2005, p.70]

    Simply put, Resident Evil 4 is a landmark video game, no matter what system you play it on... Truly brilliant. [Nov 2005, p.158]

    Capcom turned the venerable but stagnant series around with Evil 4 [Nov p.72]
