Resident Evil 4 is a great game... if you patch it.

I'll simplify things up: Unless you download some mods and patches, this game is unplayable. It's an terrible port. The graphics are awful and the controls DON'T WORK. The cutscenes are super compressed FMVs, the graphics are even worse than the PS2 version of this game (which, you know, sucks if compared with GameCube's RE4) and you have to aim using the keyboard.

Ubisoft really screwed things up with this port. It's a real shame that they released a game like that and the modding community had to fix it. Yeah, the fact that the players worked really hard to make the game better (and for free) is nice. But Capcom and Ubisoft just released a crappy port and said "There's your game, yeah, it sucks, deal with it".

I won't say anything else. Here's a list of the mods you'll have to use if you want to have any fun with this game, just google them:
Resident Evil 4 patch 1.1
Texture Patch 2.0 by Albert
Keyboard buttons replacement (version 2) by St. Vampyre
MouseAim mod by fiNAL. Y
HD Cutscenes by Matrixcn

There's tons of other great mods out there, but I only used those, and I recommend them.
