    Perfect game, so much better than the remake unfortunately. Would definitely recommend this version over the other

    This was the game that set the benchmark in all departments back in 2005. Holds a special place in my heart. I held on to the Steelbook Limited Edition of this whilst back in 2006, I traded in all of my PS2 games towards an Xbox 360. Masterpiece.

    That was one of the best games I played on the PS2. Quite innovative, it paved the way for all TPS from then on and on top of that it's an excellent game in its own right.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finished the game and I'm absolutely happy that I went through this beautiful adventure with Leon!

    Can't add more, I recommend everyone to play this game.

    Edit (February 17, 2022) just discovered that you can play the side mission of "Ada" after finishing the main story, I absolutely loved it.
    The fact that you can still enjoy the story content after finishing the main story, it just makes is wonderful, this game never ceases to amaze my expectations. 10/10 I totally re-recommend it.    … Expand

    One of the greatest games of all time revolutionized third-person shooters. The game might not be as scary as the old titles but the weirdness is there. The music in the game is touching on a different level. The story is gripping but has some mystique which makes it hard to predict t
    IMO One of the greatest games of ps2

    Para mim um dos melhores jogos da era de ouro do playstation 2, quantas memorias tenho desse jogo, o jogo que me fez conhecer a saga e praticamente me apaixonar por games em geral, era incrivel e impressionante a qualidade de puzzles, e a atmosfera que esse jogo tinha na época, hoje em dia envelheceu terrivelmente mal, mas nunca vou esquecer das lembranças e da nostalgia que esse jogo me causa.

    While waiting fot the remake to become cheaper, I restarted the original RE4 on PS2. And wow, it blasted me away. If you are looking for some retro survival horror, you're just right. Very enjoyable! Overall rating: 9.7.

    es perfecto en todo lo que se propone, como todo pobre lo jugue en una consola pirateada, el mejor juego de survival horror de la historia, la mezcla perfecta entre terror y accion, jugabilidad buenisima, villanos buenisimos, leon protagonista espectacular.

    The last game to ever scare me. besides maybe PT, but thats just jump scares.
    It was 2004, and i couldnt get enough, and still have this on pc steam.

    This game is great, it is too bad they are going to throw up all over it with political correctness in its remake, then try to cover up the original, moldy stds you.. moldy stds, to die as we live.

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

    This game is a timeless masterpiece that is highly recommended for future generations. It's a true gem of its genre and one of the best games of its generation. However, I would not recommend the other RE games because they did not live up to the quality and impact of this game.
