7 Years since the incident in Raccoon City, Leon Kennedy has joined the U.S. Government as an agent. His mission is to find the president's lovely daughter named Ashley, she was abducted by a vicious cult to Spain where she has been taken. Now Leon must try to find her but somewhere in a remote village, he discovers that the townsfolk are turned into mindless killer brutes infected by parasites which are far more worst then any zombie he encountered before. Now it's up to Leon to find out what is behind these atrocities including trying to find Ashley as he fights against the crazed parasitic folks and other hideous mutant freaks for this has became a nightmare for him.

This installment of the brilliant Resident Evil series is the greatest one yet! this one features awesome 3-D Polygonal graphics that gives it a realistic touch, brillaintly detailed backgrounds and settings. Of course this one gives you an over-the-shoulder point of view of Leon as you struggle to kill the infected folks and the monsters, the action in this game is well paced and quite gory including some exploding heads here. There's Camera moving, hit zone aiming static where you can easily hit the target on the enemy with laser, imaginative creatures that defy nature, a cute blonde girl heroine, and even great cinematic sequences. The Storyline is very good as it gives us something different in the franchise unlike any of the previous games had especially instead of Zombies this time, the music score is just creepy and there's even a few familar faces in this game like Ada Wong. In this game you even get to push buttons during some parts where they command you to and whenever an enemy dies they will give you prizes like money and stuff where you can buy stuff from merchants.

The gameplay is quite addictive and it's a hell of alot of fun, this is one of the best games ever made and one of the best i've ever played. I strongly recommend this game.

I'll keep it concise:

RE4 takes many of the best elements of multiple genres and combines them into a tense, compelling, addictive, challenging, and gratifyingly gory experience. I'm actually buying a Gamecube so I can play this game (own a PC and Xbox 360 currently) -- it's that good.

If you're not bothered by violence in your video games, then grab this one. It's masterfully made and could easily provide a hundred hours of gameplay if you get into the mini-games and special unlockables.

I've played a LOT of games on many consoles... trust me when I say that this is one of the select few that any gamer MUST experience! It's worth the investment to get a GameCube or PS2 if only to be able to play this game. Seriously. It's awesome.

The only downside is that once you've played a game like this, you'll be a little dissatisfied with almost anything you play afterward. Your standards for a 'great game' will be irreversibly raised.

I can't decide which I like best. This RE or the remade original for the GC. Oh well who cares. I'll just keep playing them both. Great Game. Makes owning a Nintendo worth it.

If you somehow dont have this for game for some reason,GET IT,don't listen to BULL,a great step forward with the combat feature helps to save bullets,ever get annoyed trying to remember where your going,the map is a great idea,the guns,the bosses,the storyline,MATERPIECE!! THE BEST!!

So I'm not much of a gamer. This review might be useless to the die hard gamers who obviously loved this game, but I think it might appeal to casual fans of gaming. I've played my fair share of video games, both sensationally senseless fun ones and more serious ones like this, so I think I'll be able to give this a fair rating.

THE GAME: Very easy gameplay. The control one has over shooting, slashing, and walking is very comfortable and realistic. The areas are expansive, which is good if you plan on playing multiple times. One will definitely develop more familiarity with each of the levels each time they replay, but I thought that the maps were a bit complex and confusing to totally get the first time. Again, that added to the realism but it also brought the fun factor down a bit when you're wandering aimlessly looking for the next place to go. Overall, the boss battles were fair. The majority of them were hard enough to challenge you, but not hard enough to get you cursing and giving up. Because if you can't beat 'em, but go to the dude with the blue torch and get a rocket launcher. Indeed, the blue torch guy is a merchant who sells guns, health, maps, and carrying space, and he comes in very handy. Those guys as well as save points are spread out fairly. While I felt the game could have been shorter--the initial outdoor area dragged on for entirely too long--it was a good and obviously well thought out experience.

STORY: It's a bit shabby. It's less about zombies and more about a crazy cult with many monsters and more ambition, which is of course more epic, but the general plot left a lot to be desired. The majority of the game is looking for Ashley, finding her, getting her taken away, looking for her again, finding her, etc. The various villains add a bit of spice, but it was a bit cheesy that there were so many Major Villains that were set up to be the Big Boss before the real Big Boss was revealed. Again, it just seemed like things could have been tightened to make the story better. Also, the dialogue? Sad fact, someone got paid to write that atrocious dialogue.

COMPARED TO OTHER "RESIDENT EVIL" GAMES: Much better. Less monotony, more variety. While I missed the more personal creepiness of walking through a scary house infected with zombies, this is definitely a better game.

COMPARED TO ALL VIDEO GAMES: Fair. Not as ground-breakingly great as some of the reviews I've read say, but definitely still a game worth your time.

7/10
