Resident Evil, I'm not a big fan of the series. I used to own Resident Evil 2, but I never bothered to play it all the way through. In fact, I'm not a big fan of survival horror games in general. So why did I play through Resident Evil 4 while loving every second of it? I guess the simple reason is that it's way more action-packed. RE4 successfully mixes elements of action/adventure with survival horror. Starting the game you'll notice the major change from the previous games, the camera. The new camera works, not only does it work, it completely changes the series, for the better.

After getting used to the controls, which actually takes a while, you'll have a great time shooting zombies. Wait, zombies? Oh,that's right, no zombies in this game. Instead you get these infected spanish people attacking you. Does it matter? No, they pretty much act like zombies, some can run though. And the bosses, man, the bosses. They're awesome, easy, but awesome.

I wasn't really scared or jumpy while playing the game, but the music is chilling. The voice acting is surprisingly good as well, isn't that Rino Romano voicing that spanish good guy? You know, Romano, the voice of Batman in "The Batman"? Anyway, yeah, the audio portion of this game is more or less flawless.

If you haven't played the game before, like me. This is an excellent way to discover it for the first time. The Wii controls are spot on, and if you don't like them, you can just use the Gamecube controller. This is undoubtedly a classic. Now, can Resident Evil 5 top this? We'll find out next year. I know I will.
