like the title say , this game be very overrated . win lot 's of award and such , and be hold ` the best resident evil ever ' I highly disagree . yes , compare to the previous release , this game be much more fast paced , but game of the year worthy ? not really . Gameplay : very fast pace , you should not be stick in any area , the puzzle be too simple to be consider ` mind numb ' and you visit most area of the game only once . backtrack have always be a staple in the previous game . Storyline : this be probably 4 's weakest area . the storyline be much too James Bondish , and or not resident evilish . apperantly the people who title this a great story , have not play any of the other title . the plotline be almost embarassingly simple . almost no twist , or change . Kind of a letdown . graphic : a lot of people disagree , but I think the graphic be better in re0 , and the Remake . the graphic in this release almost look ` cartoonish ' the color 's could have be do better . music : meh , some song be really good , but most song do not stick with you . I think the end credit theme title ` sorrow ' be very beautiful , in the Resident Evil sense of course . Controls : very good . the same as the previous Gamecube release . should not take long at all to adapt . in a way , I sometimes wish this game flop , just so Capcom would not stick with make the same game over and over . the previous game always have variety from one another , but Capcom decide to make re4 the new base of all future title . this will most definitely appeal to most , but for people who have be into the series since the late 90 's ` like I ' find this to be a very dumb decision . but hey , be not all company 's about ` milk ' what win ? more about the actual game . the enemy be , well , definitely not possible . what in the heck spawn El Gigante ? who of which look like a troll from LOTR ` yuck ' most enemy in the previous game have similarity to they non-infected counterpart . this game be very weak in the way of tell you what cause such mutation . and Ashley Graham ? let just say you 'll stop bash Sherry after you play a while with that busty blonde . this game be worth get if you want a long , challenging game . but if you be familier with the older title , do not expect this to be anything that make the other game so great . good luck .
