No before I review this, let it be known that I am not a big RE fan. That tells you how good this game really is right off of the bat.
Story: The President's daughter has been kidnapped by some strange European cult and it's up to Leon Kennedy to find out what's going on and save her. There are many sinister things afoot and the villagers seem mindless and possessed. What is going on?
Graphics: This takes a turn from the usual RE game and gets rid of all pre rendered backgrounds in favor of new 3D environments. They make look a tad less real, but overall, I like the look of this game better. It also fixed the annoying camera angles. Anyways, characters are sharp and detailed and Leon moves fluently. Good stuff.
Sound: Some pretty decent voice acting for RE lol. Enemies make bone chilling shrieks and everything sets the right tone.
Gameplay: Lots of Gunning. You have to mow down hordes of crazed cultist at every turn. The game allows you to quickly climb ladders and jump from balconies in a hurry if you are being chased. The camera angles are no longer random angles.It is now a costant over the shoulder veiw, which works well with the game. You have a wide variety of weapons to use as well to dispose of your foes. Boss battles can be pretty epic. One even pits you against a giant lake monster! Epic stuff
Overall: I would say this is the peek of quality in RE games. It reinvented the formula in an exciting new way. If you have a Wii, Gamcube of PS2, go get this now!

It's better then the game cube version with more content and stuff but they could have improved it more

This is one of the best Resident Evil games i have played. I still like RE:2 the most but this game did a lot for the Franchise. I really enjoyed the new of game as well as the graphics. This was the first Resident Evil game i played in quite some time, and fan of the series should check this game out!

Resident Evil has always been a mixed bag for me. I love the whole horror aspect of them, but I never liked the slow gameplay and the odd camera angles. This has all been addressed, though, in what I consider to be the best RE game ever made. Though this game doesn't technically have "zombies", don't be fooled. The enemies still move and act much like a zombie would, but they are slightly more human this time and it's just fun to fight evil monks ha.

Story: You play as Leon. He is on a mission to save the president's daughter, Ashley, after she has dissapeared in a mysterious part of Europe. During your quest to find her, you bump heads with a murderous cult with mysteries intent. It's up to you to solve this mystery and save the girl!

Graphics: The pre-rendered backgrounds from the previous RE titles is gone, so the graphics may not look photo realistic, but it's a nice trade off in the end. The environments still look great, adding a very creepy atmosphere everywhere you walk. The chracters are nicely detailed and everything falls nicely into place. No complaints here.

Sound: Decent voice acting. It wouldn't take home a grammy, but this is solid stuff. The cult members mutter all kinds of odd things throughout. It's solid stuff, but not a whole lot to be mentioned.

Gameplay: Finally, an RE that doesn't have limited ammo. This game is all about guns, and there's plenty of them. The camera follows an over the shoulder view, which works nicely for this game and their are no longer those annoying fixed camera angles that cause much unneeded deaths. It's all smooth and tearing through cult members is a blast. Their are a few puzzles to solve as well, but they are on the simple side and you probably won't have much frustration from them. Solid gameplay.

Overall: A very creepy, action oriented adventure with lots of plot suprises. This is an AAA game that no one should miss, RE fan or not.

Usually, I do not like playing RE games, but after playing Resident Evil 4, I love them. This game is worth the twenty dollars that it costs. I also thought that the killable merchant was a good touch >:) Not to mention the wide selection of weapons (my favorite gun is the Chicago Typewriter). Awsome Game....

i love this game and the changes that have been implemented. needless to say i had a lot of fun with this one way to go capcom .....
