I'd have to give this 10/10. I may be looking at this game from a bias point of view, but I just cannot fault it based on my personal preference of games. This game ticks all the right boxes for a successful horror game. I'm still playing this game 8 years later, and I'm still enjoying it just as much as the first day I played it.
Resident evil games are known for their awkward controls and annoying camera shots. But in this game, personally, I just didn't feel that. This may be me getting used to them over the many years of playing, or it may be down to the fact that they are just better.
The storyline is not only captivating and compelling from the start, but keeps you grabbed by the nuts all the way through. Not once will you get bored. All the way through the game you will want to play till the end, regardless of being potentially terrified, the compelling nature of the story will guide you through the terrors of that is resident evil.
The range of weapons and upgrades also made me personally want to keep on playing. The fact I could make my character my own personal killing machine is always something that's made me able to play games for long periods of times. Collecting up money, finding and combining treasures and defeating huge bosses with awesome rewards is the epitome of a good game for me; resident evil 4 does just that.
There are so many modes to this game, it offers so much more than the conventional PlayStation 2/GameCube platform game. After completing the story on normal you will unlock other modes which keep you occupied for long periods of times. Professional mode being one, will test your skills as a resident evil player, or if not, a gamer in general, and poses more of an attraction towards skill than the already revealed storyline. But that alone is enough to make you want to go through the story again. The AI on the characters are also pretty good, with a few flaws here and there. But still, nothing major to get your panties in a twist about ( Nothing like the AI in upcoming game of the year, the last of us;) ) There is so much more I would like to say about this game but I guess you get the drift. If I had to try and stretch for some negative points I'd have to say that The AI on Ashley and some enemies could of been a bit better and that the use of sounds on certain enemies could of been changed as it got repetitive. More sounds could of been added to enemies, as well as Ashley.
