RE4 is great! It’s got some problem (no mouse support, below standard graphics and the typical console button smashing sequences), but the reason I cannot recommend it is simply that it is frustratingly unstable. I played the first half of the game with it only crashing once, but then the crashes becomes more and more frequent…
Off course, if you have the patient of a Saint, go for it… RE4 seems to be better on the console (GC then PS2), but the PC port is a lot of fun. Great atmosphere and a lot of cool (but disgusting) moments makes for a very enjoyable experience…
The game would be worth a 9/10, in my opinion, once the bugs are worked out and they do something about the graphics. I’ll review and score the game properly (and recommend it) once it has been patched…
