    Resident Evil 4 - Best Console Game this year?

    Well, Resident Evil 4 launches tomorrow in the UK, and even though it is slightly cut from the Japanese version, from what i have so far played it is shaping up to be the most awesome console game i have played this year, not that this would set very high standards, but Resident Evil 4 is something special!

    The graphics - all i can say is INSANE. this really shows what the cube CAN do, not just cutesy graphics!

    The Sound - In full dolby surround sound this is showcasing game sounds at their best!

    The content - Innovative and fun.

    I've only played about 45 mins so far, and am taking a break to tell all of you gamecube owners to buy it TOMORROW!
    And all of you who DONT own a gamecube, you are looking at £55 for a 2nd hand gamecube with Resident Evil 4, or around £80 or so for the new Resident Evil special gamecube pack.





    Please post your comments on the game here, I will be interested to see if you think its as absolutely brilliant as I have so far.

    played about 2 hours of it tonight, its so so so good. The way the realtime rendered cut-scenes and play flow is amazingly well done. The controls seem clumsy at first but you start to get used to them, although it still isnt easy!

    This is shaping up to be the best action game i've ever played on a console, and the "action" genre encompasses a massive catalogue of games....

    I honestly thought there would be a MUCH larger response to this thread than there has been.... guess it goes to show how few people actually own a gamecube.
    A real shame considering the abundance of quality titles on the console.

    I can't stop praising Resi 4 enough, it really is an evolution in game design and a brilliant example to other developers on how to evolve a game with the ages.

    Hello!

    Any one here gone past the bit where you have to fight TWO El Giante's? I'm now in Geneva for the Easter break and left my cube @ Uni so I'll resume it when I get back. Loving MGS:3 Snake Eater right now!

    You guys will enjoy the new control system, much better than all the other RE games for sure.

    Couple tips (without ruining the game for ya of course) -

    • At night do not go for headshots or you'll be sorry...well not really...but it can get hairy if you ain't too good.
    • As soon as the game allows you to purchase the black tail, riot gun and broken butterfly, sell your full collection of weapons (NOT AMMO!) including the TMP if you wish and upgrade your weapons.
    • Check behind portraits for cash - usually get about 5000 pestas...
    • Kill level bosses for cash, always worth it - you can chicken out and make it to the exit at times but you get no reward
    • Try and move on to the XL case asap as well and stock a rocket launcher...
    • Some items you collect such as the beerstien can have jewels set in it to increase its value when you sell it to the merchant...
    • NEVER ever let your merchant get killed. He'll never reappear in that area again...


    I'll update this as I think of more...
