Resident Evil 4 for PlayStation 2 Reviews by Gamers

I saw all of the review websites giving this game really good scores, so I thought, why not give it a try, sure enough, a really great game that no PS2 owner should miss. It is great in every aspect of play.
Graphics - The graphics department is truly top of the line. There are all kinds of effects you might not expect to see. You can see shells flying from every gun you fire, at least the ones that use conventional ammo. I have never seen any jagged edges or bad looking textures. All of the enemy and ally textures are very detailed and realistic. Also, when some doors open you can see dust falling from them. Last but not least, gore. That has to be the best thing about the graphics. If you shoot an enemy right in the head with a shotgun at close range their head will almost always explode into a bloody mess and only their body will be left to fall to the ground.
Sound - Sound is another thing the Resident Evil 4 team perfected. All of the guns, explosions, footsteps, and voices sound very realistic. A great thing about the sound is enemy voice. If an enemy is behind you, you may hear a laugh which will usually give you enough time to turn around and dispose of the enemy unless there is an intense battle going on in front of you.
Gameplay - Gameplay is what makes a game fun, and man does this game have good gameplay. In the first part of the game you are automatically given a selection of weapons and other items such as items that heal your health, and ammo. All of these take up space inside your case which you can access by pressing start. Over the course of the game you will be able to buy bigger cases to hold more weapons and items. After your finished stocking up its time to blow away zombies. The game has an over the shoulder camera which narrows view when you aim so you can see farther without squinting. You cannot move while reloading or aiming, which actually gives the game great pacing. On your first play through it may take you 25 to 30 hours to finish.

The game was okay the grahics were very bland and yawn inducing. The story doesnt make sense of not giving leon a better gun like a micro uzi, which is smaller and higher firing rate. The gamelay is kinda scary and nerve tingling. but worst of all...the controls, it is horrible beyond the realms of the mind. The standing and shooting mechanic sucks, no regular gamer who is not used to it will die eight times against salvador in THE VILLAGE AT THE VERY BEGINNING WHERE THE DRIVERS WHO DROVE LEON ARE BURNING ATE THE STAKE. Bottom line the controls for DS and RE6 are infinitly more better. Also, WHY IS THERE NO MORE DODGE ROLLING LIKE IN KH IN GAMES ANYMORE!
