(More customer reviews)If you've been living under a rock since 2005, then you've never gotten wind of Resident Evil 4. A departure in terms of gameplay and design for Capcom's long running survival horror franchise, Resident Evil 4 marked the best entry in the series, as well as the best survival horror game of all time when it was first released on the Gamecube. Eventually the game would be released on the PS2 (and recently the excellent version that just came out for the Wii), and now it's finally on the PC. Sadly though, so much of what made Resident Evil 4 so great on the consoles has been lost in translation in this port to the PC, making PC gamers wonder what all the fuss was about with Resident Evil 4 in the first place. While the game still features it's ultra creepy atmoshphere and heart pounding moments of suspense, the fact that the game cannot be played with a mouse is pure blasphemy. A controller is essential here because of that, and the fact that the keyboard controls are sloppy and annoying to boot. Once you get over that hurdle, you'll find that despite the atmosphere of the game, the cut-scenes and even some other parts look incredibly blurry and stilted. You can't play around with the visuals of Resident Evil 4 either, and considering how long this PC version of the game was in development, the overall package just feels rushed. Not to mention that this PC port features no new exclusive content either. All the negatives aside though, Resident Evil 4 for the PC is still pretty much the Resident Evil 4 we all know and love, and if you own a gamepad, there's plenty of excitement to be found here. Combine that with the budget price tag, and you still get a solid survival horror game that is worth a look. That is, if you don't own a console. If you own one of the aforementioned console systems, pick Resident Evil 4 up for that system, but if you don't, well then, this PC version loses much of what made the console game so great in the first place.
