Resident Evil 4 (PS2)

...Leon Kennedy, hero cop of Resident Evil 2 now spec ops expert, has walked into a peasant hovel somewhere in 'a lonely and rural part of Europe' (the only clue to location you get in the game - apart from all the blood-curdling Spanish being hissed at you). He's tracking Ashley Graham, the kidnapped daughter of the US president, and as he reaches out to touch some hovel-dwelling local on the shoulder to attract some attention, something shocking happens... ...
...Leon's hand. It has begun. Resident Evil has grown monster cajones. Welcome to the new horror. Resident Evil 4 picks up six years after Resi 2. Raccoon city is destroyed, Umbrella Corp is bankrupt, the T-Virus terror is no more. But the world is about to face another devastating bio-nightmare and it revolves around Ashley and this godforsaken village. Forget staggering zombies, forget saving your bullets 'til you meet the real baddies. Resi 4 comes ...

Review of Resident Evil 4 (PS2)

...came across an article on Resident Evil 4. Yes!! I am a massive fan ever since I played the original. There were a few pictures and brief insight as it was very early news. I was all worked up and excited! You play as Leon Kennedy! He was great, almost an equal to Chris Redfield! The next month I was devastated. My trusty magazine had just informed me that it was to be Nintendo Game Cube exclusive! Nooooooooooooo....!!!! But then, on the 4th day ...
...after all.... Resident Evil 4 gives a very warm return to Leon S Kennedy, the rookie cop from Resident Evil 2. It is six years since the Raccoon city incident and the notorious Umbrella Corporation has been destroyed. Now he is a government agent assigned to rescue the President's daughter, Ashley Graham. Information leads him to a small village somewhere in Europe. Leon arrives escorted by three local policemen. Walking down a narrow path through ...

...beset the production team of Resident Evil as they reconvened for brainstorming the fourth iteration of this popular survival horror series. With so many wannabes and spin-offs mimicking the format, films, CD's, memorabilia and the like, the series was in danger of doing a Mavis Riley impression on us and outstaying its welcome. The obvious result of that brainstorming session was to conclude the endless parade of lost-in-a-mansion-zombie-dodging-obscure-puzzle-solving-jesus-what's-that-bugger-it-not-another-locked-door-athons, ...

Follow the way that famous Alone in the Dark had explored, Resident Evil now surpass it and become the king in this genre. In 2005, Capcom continued to release Resident Evil 4 with break through development. The company used more intelligent and faster enemy instead of old, slow zombies. In addition, Resident Evil 4(RE4) has perfect graphic and sound, makes ...

Review of Resident Evil 4 (PS2)

Resident Evil 4 is the most playable game on the ps2 for me personally. It offers great visuals and awesome gameplay throughout. The whole ingame mechanics have been re-designed for a new and even more fun experience, quick gun play allows massive shoot ups with massive crowds of enemy's in large open spaces, making it one of the most successful games of its time. Story You play the role of Leon S Kennedy one of the few Survivors from the Racoon ...
...game play is amazing in Resident Evil 4. there is a massive choice of weapons that leon can handle and capcom have introduced a new little feautre of mini games in mid game play. For example during one part of the mission Leon finds himself being pursued by a rather large boulder and you have to repeatedly tap the button sequence that appears on screen in order for him to evade his death. These little inclusions are like cut scenes but your reactions ...

Review of Resident Evil 4 (PS2)

Resident Evil 4 is a horror-themed third-person shooting game by Capcom which was originally intended as a GameCube exclusive with the creator of the Resident Evil series Shinji Mikami being quoted as saying that he would cut off his head should there be a PlayStation 2 version. Capcom went ahead with this port, and Shinji Mikami kept his head, opting to get lucky by leaving Studio 4 for Clover Studio (see what I did there, almost). The game takes ...
...liked. I was surprised that Resident Evil 4 did not implement use of the analogue controller in places. Given the genre, I thought the strafe would also be seemingly missing in action, but as the game mechanics were similar to those of previous Resident Evil games I was able to get comfortable with the controls, and the 180 degree turn had to suffice - which it did. Though you can no longer reload your weapons in the inventory screen, the right ...

The game has existed since the play station2 reign but got its fit and waves during the resident evil 3 and since then, there have not been any other resident evil of that name and quality until in 2005 when the resident evil four was released.

Well resident evil probably is not my type of game but I decided to make it mine when I saw the advertisement on game magazine and decided to get a copy for my self. The game is all about Leon the cop in a rescue mission of the president's daughter and the game got off from there. Well the game starts like a movie scene where ...

Review of Resident Evil 4 (PS2)

Resident Evil. Jumping back in time five years or so, the series commanded so much respect. Nearly every gamer would have played the latest game to death, and worshipped Capcom for their brilliance at providing such as excellent gaming experience so different to other games on the market. How times have changed. With the introduction of a couple of hideous, unoriginal sequels, and in the current gaming climate in which a game with zombies is like ...
...isn't too annoying and repetitive. Resident Evil 4 has changed my perceptions of this. Through the incredibly realistic sound effects, the realism in the game has vastly improved, and, alongside this, the element of horror lacking in the last one or two incarnations has returned, breathing life into a tired series. It really adds to the gaming experience a tremendous amount, and it is of a better standard than previous titles, despite how good the ...

Review of Resident Evil 4 (PS2)

Resident Evil 4 is a rather unusual game in two ways. One, despite being entitled number 4, it is actually the 5 resident evil game in the series, as its PS2 predecessor was the rather forgettable Resident Evil: Codename Veronica X. Secondly, this game does not feature zombies, but rather, crazed cultists infected with some bizarre biological parasite. I suppose another major way that Resident Evil 4 differs from its predecessors is that it is a ...
...puzzle". The puzzles in the Resident Evil games have never been particularly challenging, more of a case of, go to location A, kill the super monster, and pick up the reward. Thus, coupled with the random and somewhat aimless wandering around, blasting zombies and other ghouls, the gamer was left feeling a bit empty. I suppose the biggest saving grace for the Resident Evil games, was that you could have a giggle as the zombie effects sounded as if ...

Six years on from the destruction and terror that hit Racoon City, Leon Kennedy (Resident Evil 2), now an elite agent working for the US government, has a new mission; to rescue the President's daughter Ashley Graham, from a rural European village, after being kidnapped by a mysterious group of people. Sounds easy right? Wrong! From the first few minutes of playing the game ...

The makers of Resident Evil have never been bad at making BIG bosses either and this time is no exception, you'll be battling with the likes of Del Lago (a giant serpant type creature) whilst speeding around a lake in a little boat and dropping boulders on El Gigante (a very huge and ugly giant) in a small part of the village in an attempt to slow him down! There is also a merchant who is there to help you out and seems to be in ...

...be honest here. The original Resident Evil games weren't all that good. Dodgy rotational control system, ridiculous and out-of-place puzzles, and to make matters worse those two truly awful films out there that didn't even stick to one of the game's real plus points: the story. But even so, the series had a huge fan following due, at least in part, to it's uncensored violence and gore-soaked gameplay. And that was cool. The problem was that Resident ...
...over Leon S Kennedy (from Resident Evil 2, fact fans!) is immense. The camera view has been switched from "stuck on the walls" to an over the shoulder persepctive, which not only adds greater control over shooting (the chance to yell "BOOM! HEADSHOT!" as you remove an enemies head thanks to the new targetting system is excellent) but also retains the suspense of previous games since you can't see any enemies sneaking up behind you. Speaking of the ...

In the end I did buy it and jumped at the chance at owning a special collectors edition and to my surprise wow! The game and every aspect of it was brilliant, no faults what so ever. So here's the low down of the game and its features: Storyline Ok so the storyline has finally moved on from on from racoon city and is now set in spain.6 years ...

Finally, Resident Evil is back, and this time, it's here to be the best horror game there is on the playstation 2, and maybe all the other consoles as well! The Resident Evil series has being going on for years now, but there has always being something missing that has made the game incomplete, maybe it was the dodgy graphics, maybe it was the awful 10 minute opening door sequence. All of those things: GONE!!! The graphics are superb, (possibly the ...

In Resident Evil 4, you play as Leon S Kennedy, one of Racoon City's police officers, Resident Evil fans will remember him from Resident Evil 2. It has been six years since the destruction of Raccoon City and in that time, the U.S. government has been able to destroy the Umbrella Corporation. Fast-forward to 2004 and players ...
