I played this game for more than 6 months, I completed it at least 4 times, got every mercenary quest done, absolutely contagious this game was for me.
The storyline was very cool in the usual resident evil way, the merchant guy was probably my favourite character, it was amazing when he first appeared, I couldn’t stop laughing he was just so cool. “what a ya buying?” ” what a ya selling?” reminded me of a pirate dude.
In fact when I came across a guy in Oblivion called Shady Sam he reminded me so much of the merchant in resident evil 4 I went back and played it again for a couple of weeks.
There are so many different forms of enemies in this game and the boss fights are really enjoyable, a vast range of weapons and quick pace set this game up for me as one of the all time greats of the resident evil series.
I’m writing the review now as i’ve just ordered the new Resident Evil 5 for my ps3 and i’m hoping it’s going to live up to the same standards as number 4, the only preview i’ve seen on RE5 was a quick glimpse of Whesker so hopefully 5 will be better than 4, looking forward to it.
It can get difficult at times to upgrade your weapons so you do need to find all the gems which fit into the various treasures so the items are worth more, fitting items into items typically increases their value many more times than if you sold the item seperately.
Once i’d played through about 3 times was when I then opted to try the mercenaries, that is hard, your either going to enjoy it or get really frustrated with it and probably destroy your tv, it’s great fun, if you haven’t played Resident Evil 4 you should, definitely.
Overall rating i’m giving another 10 out of 10, I know it seems like i’m being generous with the ratings but i’m not, it mostly takes a top notch game to keep my interest now, I know what it takes to make a really good RPG so most of the games i’ll write reviews on will almost certainly be a 9 or 10. I don’t really see the point in writing a bad review on a bad game, I just simply won’t recommend a bad game so if i’m not going to recommend something why write about it, makes sense to me.
