    The best game in the franchise, and one the best games of it's generation. If you are a resident evil fan you should play this game before you die! It has the perfect balance between survival horror and action (the two main elements that defines de saga), the story is brilliant, the characters are so lovely, it's long and it has a lot of variety in terms of game play and locations design.The best game in the franchise, and one the best games of it's generation.

    This game is superb, It pioneered the "over the shoulder" third-person view perspective in video games.

    Um dos melhores jogos da série Resident Evil. A mudança de camera fixa para acima do ombro foi uma mudança bem vinda, e com ela mais ação foi adicionada ao gameplay, mas com a quantidade de inimigos na tela, e o fato de não andar enquanto mira, a tensão sempre está alta, deixando o tiroteio um pouco mais estratégico.

    Jogabilidade refinada, protagonista mais do que carismático e uma história diferente das anteriores, mas mesmo assim que respeita a saga original. Não consigo dar menos que 10/10 pra esse game.

    -Resident Evil 4 was special game on its decade because it added an "over the shoulder" third person camera . This mechanic differences this game from the previous ones, The most part of the game is action, there are more enemies and you need this shooter mechanic. In my opinion what makes this game worse is that there aren't so many puzzles as in other resident evil games. This gameplay in our time is not a great thing , but at that time it was really innovative. I still loving it's gameplay even being a bad decision in the saga.
    The aim with the red dot for me it's a cool mechanic that is different from other third person shooters. There are parts where there are puzzles and that it's nice to keep some of the essence of the saga.This game also includes a very common nowadays mechanic that consists in upgrade and customize your weapons thanks to the money (ptas) you gather from enemies.

    -The story of this game is so simple, the plot locates us after the incident of Racoon city, umbrella has "vanished" and suddenly the president's daughter disappeared. Leon S. Kennedy (the same police officer from RE2) he's an agent from the government that has the objective of rescue her.

    -All the events take place in Spain, where there is an infected cult called "Los Iluminados" alongside with "los ganados", the habitants of the village. Ashley Graham,the president's daughter is captured by the cult, and Leon must save her. Story could have been better, Spain is not well represented, is very different to the real country. Its habitants look like mexicans cause of their voice, and there are not any recognizable place from the real spain.

    -The characters are good, in general, most of them have their own personality and are interesting.Leon is a really funny character that is always joking, and also brave. RE2 fans love this character because of his haircut and aspect, is a very memorable character. Ada Wong also have a place in the story, and same as leon , character from RE2. She is a suspicious woman who is spying Leon to get information about the virus of "Las plagas". She is working for what remains of Umbrella Corporation. Lord saddler and Ramon Salazar are the two main villains on the game which are really nice. There is another new character called Luis Sera who is a really cool character and is easy to take it love.

    -to be a game of 2005 it has great graphics and also great sound effects, you can feel the atmosphere every moment in the game. The sound effects are really well designed, reloading the gun,shooting,impacts and more.(these are some examples of good sound effects of the game)

    -In general this game is great and entertaining, with some issues, but still great. This is a unforgettable adventure,no doubt.

    Easily the best in the series to this day. Going into a third person root with new and creative elements such as a fun shooting mechanic, and intense frighting designs that kept me hooked 'til the very end.

    This is the pinnacle of gaming. My all time number one favorite game. Rarely do I go out of my way to 100% a game, resident evil 4 is definitely an exception. I have lost count as to how many times I have returned to indulge myself in this masterpiece over the years.

    Although the game changes the classic RE formula, it's forgiven for how well the game was made, from the atmosphere, to the gameplay, to the enemies... it might be lacking in the horror department, but that doesn't stop it from being a classic.
