Resident Evil 4 review
Released on the Gamecube in 2005, and later ported to the PS2, Resident Evil 4 has been a commercial and critical success. Sporting gameplay that was a radical departure from the series’ norm, the game was regarded by many as an instant classic, and a game that all future horror games should aspire to. Fast forward to 2007, and the PS2 version’s been ported across to the PC, but sadly, a lot’s been lost in translation. For those of you unfamiliar with the earlier versions, and there must be some, Resident Evil 4 puts you in the boots of Leon S Kennedy, star of RE 2, who’s been tasked with rescuing the President’s daughter from a group of Spanish villagers. This sets the scene for one of the most original Resident Evil games yet; aside from the basic game dynamics, there’s not even a mention of the normally ubiquitous Umbrella Corporation. Well. Not really.
