    Perhaps the most successful aspect of the game is how well tension and fear are crafted, and Resident Evil 4 is still a terrifying experience, even for an audience who know what each twist and turn in the game will bring.

    This game is a classic in every sense of the word, I have beaten it on GC, WiiU, WII, PC, PS2, PS3, PS4, XBOX 360, and now it's hitting SwitchThis game is a classic in every sense of the word, I have beaten it on GC, WiiU, WII, PC, PS2, PS3, PS4, XBOX 360, and now it's hitting Switch and if you have never played this game you owe it to yourself (especially if you are a Resident Evil fan), to play this GEM, this very well may be the best Resident Evil game ever made, and now that Resident Evil 2 Remake is out I still stand by that assessment...As good as a game can GET, this is it....

    The bad:

    - very expensive for a game that originally came out in 2005. Honestly, this game is half the price on other platforms - no gyro

    - no gyro controls. They work great on resident evil revelations 2. Why not here?
    - no extras. Ada' side missions, mercenaries, etc.
    - In terms of graphics, audio and fx, this game is looking its age

    The good:

    - It's one of the best games ever made
    - good performance docked and handheld
    - You can play it on the toilet

    Very good game. But very bad port - no gyro aiming, weak performance. Waiting for patch(es)!
