| Game Analysis | Resident Evil 4, known in Japan as Biohazard 4, is a survival horror third-person shooter video game developed by Capcom's Production Studio 4 and published by multiple publishers, including Capcom, Ubisoft, Nintendo Australia, Red Ant Enterprises and THQ Asia Pacific. The player controls Leon S. Kennedy from a third-person, over-the-shoulder perspective during a mission to rescue the daughter of the President of the United States, Ashley Graham. The gameplay focuses on action and shootouts involving crowds of enemies in large open areas. The camera is focused behind Leon, and it zooms in for an over-the-shoulder view when aiming a weapon. The addition of a laser sight adds a new depth to the aiming, allowing the player to aim in various directions and easily change their placement at any time. | |

Jesus what a gem! I wish them made more stellar productions such as this baby. Beat the game = unlock more Ada missions (which are basically a whole new 6-7 hour game). Wonder how that would look like in today’s DLC world of madness.
My favorite in the series and my number one personal favorite game of all time. The Resident Evil series is quite the collective franchise with many great entries, but there is something about Resi4 that captures lightning in a bottle. the gameplay, set layouts and character models have all aged pretty well. This game holds up incredibly well and looks and plays great on the PS4. I love the inventory system and can spend a lot of time organizing my weapons and ammunition. Leon can upgrade his guns to make them more powerful making combat so so satisfying.
The plot is pretty simple and keeps it pretty basic. So if you personally love story driven games keep in mind the story is not really that important.
A Classic and a MUST PLAY!
Originality- the initial setup for the narrative at first seems typical, but the bizarre twists and turns that eventually come were never expected from previous entries in the franchise.
Innovation- with light RPG style elements regarding upgrades to both health and weapons, it built upon the normal conventions of the RE formula and surpassed and evolved them so well that subsequent entries have all followed suit.
Ease of Use- can be challenging unintentionally with cheap bad guys and setups occasionally.
(Based on the Wii version)
With using the Wii remote controls, it’s WAY easier to be precise at aiming in an already difficulty TPS. Overall, taking a look at the story, as I suspected, it’s absolutely bonkers- totally goes off the rails of understanding after the first couple of chapters, but makes up for it with fun scenarios and gameplay- total nonsense story though.
