GameCube Review: Resident Evil 4 - Page 3

A few minor annoyances keep "RE4" from absolute perfection. You're unable to move and shoot, something that really would help out during combat. Even the simple ability to strafe would have alleviated this. Finally, the camera can be too close at times, especially early when the villagers plant bear traps across their land. Making them hard to see is one thing, making them impossible to see is another. Since you can't actually see your feet, you can't see the ground either. You have to spot them early or lose health. The latter is usually the result.

It's almost impossible for anyone to convey in words just how great this game is. It's a title that absolutely must be experienced by any decent Gamecube owner. Those who do not have the console should immediately pick one up. "Resident Evil 4" will go down as one of the best games to hit store shelves from this generation of systems. It should also plant itself on multiple "greatest of all time" lists. It certainly deserves it.
