    In contrast with the classic ones, this one has brought us some more action, instead of being threatened, you are now the threat. Graphics and ambiance are near perfect, and the dark feeling caused by the scenarios are also the essential part. Both fun and desperate to experience. Definitely a must play.

    I was 8 when RE4 first came out, too young to play, but old enough to watch my granddad play it, the story, the designs , the gameplay. All phenomenal. I miss you granddad and cherish the many games and times we spent gaming together, I miss you every day.

    An absolute classic. A B-movie bonanza filled with memorable setpieces, awesome gunplay, length, and indiluted fun. Resident evil at its peak.

    This is the greatest game I have ever played (although not my favourite). Levels, story, characters, gameplay are all excellent. A mixture of intense and fun scenarios that are always different.

    Resident evil 4 is my childhood game when i was kid, i used to be scared of that chainsaw guy but when i came back some time later i have finished the game so many times i lost count. Unlocked all special weapons including the hand cannon and more. I am 18 now and i am glad this game was there for me when i was a kid and it is one of the best live action shooter game i ever played.

    Resident Evil serisiyle ilk 7.seride tanıştım. Sonra bir gün indirim günü aldım ve dedimki ben bunca zaman neler kaçırmışım. R.e 4 ü bir oynadım birkaç ay boyunca etkisinden çıkamadım yani mükemmel. Kontrollere alışırsınız ilk oynandığında garip gelsede alışıyorsun zamanla. R.E serisi çok özel benim için.

    This game is really awesome resource management and ammo conservation are key elements but till the end of the game we would've more ammo than we know what to do but besides that this game have replay value due to unlockable and side Game's are fun as well

    this is the best game in my favorite franchise, with an amazing story, and impressive graphics even today, it's a game that clearly doesn't need a remake, but I'm looking forward to the wait

    Easily the most overrated game of all time. Almost everything that came before and after it in the franchise was better.

    1st, i thought this game was boring at all. When i play this game, i feel very impressive. No wonder this game was 1st award. i doubt this (ps2) Resident Evil 4 is best then Resident Evil 4(Gamecube) was created in 2004. Anyway i very grateful about this game. Good work, Capcom.

    If you were not interested with previous RE games, RE4 will manipulate your brain and force you to love it, while you'll be enjoying every microsecond of it.

    This game i would say is the best in the franchise they got rid of the clunky controls the laser sight had its few flaws like if there was more than one person on the screen it sometimes was hard to get a good shoot. the story was ok i could deal with it. and i liked the bonus content on this game. overall its a good game with some flaws. but i would sugest getting it for the gamecube its better.
