Resident Evil 4 takes you on a secret mission at a mysterious location
in Europe, where you will fight not zombies in an attempt to recover
the President's daughter. Resident Evil 4 is strong gameplay somehow
manages to survive, despite a lazy porting job that will leave some PC
owners wondering what all the fuss was about.
In
2005, Resident Evil 4 on the Nintendo GameCube was rightfully lauded as
one of the best action adventure games ever released, thanks to
stunning visuals and white-knuckle action sequences that ranked amongst
the best in gaming. Later that year, PlayStation 2 owners were blessed
with their own version of the game, featuring more missions and some
other unlockable goodies. And now you can play Resident Evil 4 on your
PC for a mere $20. It's too bad that PC gamers have been inflicted with a lazy port that does as little as possible to cater to the platform. Forget mouse support, forget tailoring
the visuals to your own preferences, and don't even think about any PC
only goodies: this is a direct transfer of the PlayStation 2 version. If
you can get past all these problems, RE4 is still an intense, thrilling
ride that will keep your heart pounding. But if you still haven't
played Resident Evil 4, this version should be your last resort.
