For anyone who enjoys a good scare or likes to blow heads off of zombies and mutant creatures, you may be interested in Resident Evil 4.
Released for the Gamecube and PS2, the game now brought to the Wii with extra content, supurb controls, Advanced AI and eerie lighting and effects pulls ahead in the survival-horror genre. The whole gameplay revoles around you having your back against a broken down wall as swarms of zombies circle you with chainsaws and axes galor. But RE4 is not a run-and-gun game, you must stop in the middle of the action and take aim which makes the feeling of terror much worse.
If you have never played any of the Resident Evil games, you're in for a treat. The controls are simple and easy to pick up and play. The remote controls your gun's aim with the B button, and A fires. The analog stick controls Leon (the main character, even though you will be able to play as other characters). You can also swing the remote to slash your knife. The whole point-to-aim concept adds a feeling of control as you mow down enemies
RE4 has a fair amount of guns to choose from. From handguns to shotguns, TMPs to rocket lauchers, there is a great variety of guns to choose from and upgrade with pacas (money) throughout the game.
The Wii-exclusive bonus material will please any returning RE4 veterans. The most notable is five extra levels featuring Ada Wong, a mysterious agent whose motives and objective is still unclear. The levels are short and brief but still fun to play because it's a different experience. If you complete Ada's missions, you will unlock additional bonus material and costumes.
Overall, you may not find a better mature-aged gore-fest to pick up and play than RE4. In fact, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better game, period.
The classic Resident Evil 4 GameCube release, the title that redfined the hugely popular series, debuted 20 years ago today.
Bought it the day it came out. Probably the most graphically impressive GameCube game.
It looks great but it's also pre-rendered backgrounds in tight, enclosed spaces. From a technical perspective RE4 is more impressive.
I'd say Resident Evil Zero which was canned on the Nintendo 64 and ported to the GameCube.
I still give it up to Factor 5 with Rogue Squadron 2 and 3. Those games look amazing still today. They squeezed a lot out of that box.
RE4 was no slouch either though.
I think I'd give it to Metroid Prime and Echoes. 60fps with all those particle effects, and Samus' reflections.
The Remaster on Switch and Trilogy version on Wii are actually missing certain graphical effects.
The most influential game of all time. Along with the movie Aliens, it has shaped the industry.
In the first episode of "How It Saved," Dave Klein looks into how Resident Evil 4 helped breathe new life into the Resident Evil series.
The Resident Evil 4 Remake does the original game justice, but there are a few things that it just can't beat.
The Salazar Fight is better in the remake?
this gotta be a joke, he's literally stationed just to be hit by bullets in the original
the fight is much better in the remake
You can do so much better:|
