Resident Evil 4 Retrospective
As this game being one of my favorite games of all time, i felt like i had to review it.
Story: You play as Leon S. Kennedy, and you're on a mission to save the presidents daughter (Ashley Graham) who has disappeared by some reason. But there's more to it than that; the villagers have gone crazy and you have to find out why, and a past friend appears too.
Gameplay: This is were RE4 really shines, it's a survival-horror game but it's more of a action-third-person-survival-shooter. Now the horror have it's ups and downs how it is creepy at times and other times, well then they're trying too hard to scare you but it doesn't work very well. Anyway, the shooting and action is great--one button pulls up your gun, and the A button (X for PS2) to shoot, the laser sight is your aim (A cursor for Wii) and aiming feels great. Also theres the Austraulian merchant which you can buy weapons from, upgrade and sell items you pick up. This feature makes the game have a lot more replaybility.
Theres also alot of bonus content like Mercenaries (A survival kinda game) Assignment Ada (An hour long mission where you play as Ada) Movie browser and Seperate Ways for Wii and PS2 (A 3-4 hour game mode where you play as Ada and sees what she did for the most of the time).
Graphics: While a little old by now they are still great, character models looks great and great artistic design. Though the textures are a bit washed out.
So in the end, RE4 is one of the best games of all time and a must-buy for the Gamecube, PS2 and Wii.
