Resident Evil 4

Outstanding!

Resident Evil returns with a new setting, new story, and more action-packed gameplay. Forget what you know about survival-horror. The series that refined the genre is back to turn it on it's ear. Read Review

The fourth installment of Capcom's pivotal "Survival Horror" series continues on Nintendo GameCube and PS2. The title takes place in 2004 some six years after the events that transpired in Resident Evil 2. The government has destroyed the Umbrella Corporation, which has been behind just about every plot and disgusting bio-chemical mutation in the survival horror series. Now-US agent Leon Kennedy (of Resident Evil 2 fame) has been dispatched to Europe to save the President's daughter from "crazed organizations." RE4 boasts some of the most impressive visuals to date on Nintendo's next generation console, and takes the series into the realm of truly three-dimensional gameplay. Stagnant environments found in previous Resident Evil games are replaced by detailed 3D surroundings complete with dynamic camera work.

Cube Reviews | Jan 6, 2005

It's with an extreme amount of pleasure that I can inform you that this is no longer the case; it's almost as remarkable that the series that both refined and saturated the genre is now the one to put it to sleep. Resident Evil 4 has arrived as a completely fresh gaming experience that will both astound fans of the series and quiet its detractors. It's Action-Adventure gaming at its absolute finest -- yes, Action... with a capital A. Read More »
