| I THINK SO!
Most games this completely awesome would only be awesome for the first 15-60 minutes then settle into mediocrity after they've blown their load. Either that or they'd be like Max Payne or Republic Commando and only last 8 hours. "It'd be impossible to keep that kind of momentum up for any longer!" would be the excuse made. But not Capcom, because they're awesome. Not only does Resident Evil 4 last a whopping 20 hours, but it's completely awesome from the start and against all odds continues to get more awesome the farther you get. They easily could have split this into two seperate games like so many bad Tarantino movies and sell the second half as a seperate sequel, but they didn't because Capcom (and not Tarantino) is awesome. It would have been enough to just have you go around capping random crazed villagers all game, but they went and made a huge variety of enemies and environments because they're awesome. They also throw in a ton of fun and crazy scripted events. Think you've survived blowing the heads off of hundreds of pitchfork and chainsaw zombies? HERE COMES DEATH TRUCK! *HONK* *HONK* And here's a shocker: there is never any shortage of ammo or health. No rationing, no scavenging. Once again it's made blindingly obvoius to non-retards that only shitty horror games skimp on the bullets and first aid. Even after you complete the main game, you get to play an awesome mercenaries minigame where your sole objective is to kill as many endlessly respawning enemies in a certain time limit as possible. Exploding heads with the shotgun just never gets old. If this was some queer Metal Gear game then Kojima would wait six months before releasing a minigame like this as part of a seperate $50 Subsistence pack or whatever faggot shit that faggot Raiden loving faggot is doing now. Capcom doesn't do this because they're awesome and not some crazy self-love/hate wannabe transvesite nutjob. Dialog is lame enough to be funny, though not as much as the original. If I had to I could only think of two real improvement they could make. Allow you to switch weapons with the press of a button without having to go into your inventory and equip it every time. That, and the last 15-25 minutes were kind of a letdown, especially the last boss (considering the end of disc 1 boss was about ten times cooler). So yeah, best console game of this generation. |
