  • well, this is surprising, CGRundertow never plays more than the first 10 minutes of any game, but here we have derek playing with all the extra stuff you get when you win the game

  • Derek I think this is your best review. You really do RE4 justice while bringing up its shortcomings (although few in number).

    "Run turn shoot. Run turn shoot."

  • Comment removed

  • wow yours really do look a lot better than mine with the standard composite cable, i have the game cube that has a Digital V-out port how much does a component cable runs for these days ?

  • The clunky controls are what makes it survival horror. If you could control the character like any other shooter, you wouldn't feel handicapped and out of place in the game, but rather having a blast and a piece of cake, eliminating the unnerving feeling it's supposed to give you.

  • That "archaic design" and "awful controls" allowed for the horror part of survival horror. RE4 is just a shooter and does not deserve the name. Ok review but please respect the source material rather than pissing all over it.

  • "DON'T COME!" I'm sure that's ripped straight off Sega's House Of the Dead 2 Dreamcast???!!!!!

  • @MrStrewtho He he... Maybe. But, I have heard that on a few games. Is it being ripped from The House Of The Dead 2? Yeah, that game is probably what started it.

  • I'm planning on getting this game, but not sure whether to get the ps2 version or this. Which one should I get?

  • @Grippli78 ps2 has extra stuff which is awesome

  • @Grippli78 and the gamecube version looks better. but since it's dated anyway, get the ps2 version

  • @Grippli78 If you have an Xbox 360 or PS3, you can download it from their game marketplace. Yes, a download isn't as satisfying as a hard copy on disc. Just make damn sure you don't accidentaly delete the download. The Xbox 360 & PS3 version is a hybrid... It's the Gamecube version of the game with the PS2 extras added on. And, this is the best version of the game. The game has never looked so pretty. I have the 360 version, but I don't think it matters which of the 2 you decide to get it on.

  • Original RE's are better, BUT RE4 was great still.

  • RE4 aint scare anyone

  • RE4 is a great game. But really? Don't diss the older resident evil games. They were so much better. They didn't have awful controls.

  • @armyevil The old PS1 games controls were awful. And, the games were boring. The camera angles were awkward. In the old games... It was about as exciting as watching the monitors of security cameras setup in hallways. People go through doors, and walk through halls. Oh, you get to shoot a zombie every 45 minutes. RE4 is the greatest RE game ever. Capcom says they'll never return to the play-style of the original PS1 games. RE6 is supposed to be double the intense action as 4 & 5.

  • @y26op Good sir, I am sorry that you felt bored in a game that wasn't suppose to be action based. Get out of the box you live in. No but seriously I am sorry if you didn't find it enjoyable. Controls were awful? I still fail to understand. Never had any issue, press right, character goes right, press left, character goes left (NOT FROM CAMERA PERSPECTIVE). If you fail at this then please... please stick to call of duty for the ps3/xbox.

  • @armyevil Yes, the controls were fine if you like old school retro control figuration. Press right, character goes right, press left, character goes left? No, not exactly. You have turn your character in place by rotating the analog stick or D-pad. Watching your character spin in place in order to face the desired direction. Making it as robotic as you can get. When running, the characters can be turned without always stopping, but the turning is like driving a car with fucked up steering.

  • @y26op Rofl nope @ controls. You always hold up to make your character, surprisingly go forward, while you press left or right for your character to go HIS left or right. How is this bad controls? By god forbid gamers who can't play something so basic. I never base my reviews on game companies. And the fans praise this as the best RE game? Wow that's a laugh, go talk on resident evil forums. Try not to speak up for them. And again, I agree it's a great to amazing game.

  • @y26op Don't worry about him. You not liking the original trilogy and thinking 4 is the best doesn't affect him. He's just lashing out at you because he's upset at the direction the series has taken(which is understandable) and is taking it out on you. As long as people feel the originals are archaic whether its a large or small group he feels threatened. If that's is not the case I can't see why he would try to change YOUR OPINION to match HIS ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • @y26op This game was never about shooting every single zombie with the most dangerous fire arm you can get. Durr its a "survival horror" if you never noticed. Running away is what you're suppose to do. And again, if you don't like this. Don't play it. The game was original, fresh, and not generic. Also if you don't like puzzle solving then I can see something wrong here :(. No Re4 is not the greatest RE game. You're only basing it on action. if this is not ur cup of tea, then don't playit

  • @armyevil I don't play the old games. Have played them, don't care to now. Survival Horror shouldn't mean waiting on your ass for something interesting to happen. I don't think many people got shook up about running down several halls and walking through several doors, awaiting something interesting. RE4 has been said to be the best game by many gaming companies, reviewers, and fans. Why do you think they ported the damn thing so much? What other game in the series received that kind of love.

  • An objective review by Derek? Wow I'm impressed

  • It's funny how he says you never feel untouchable even though he's using the Chicago Typewriter which has infinite ammo and possibly the Handcannon which is the most powerful gun......

  • Best Resident Evil game of the new generation, without a doubt.

  • looks good for wii

  • Favorite game ever.  Still play it all the time.

  • Comment removed

  • leon gay asqueroso

  • Why oh why did they use a reticule in the wii version!?

  • ......this game......and thats why i shit my pants

  • This ain't survival horror, it's an action game with horror elements.

    Compared to the older installments in the franchise, Resident Evil 4 is proberly the least scary version besides Resident Evil 5, and you can shoot the villagers without thinking about ammo unlike RE 2/3.

    Resident Evil 4 is my all time favorite though, played it 3 times through on my GameCube and my PS2, and I got a Leon costume, so to anyone who haven't played this game, you are really missing one of the best games ever made.

  • two weeks ago i spent 45 € buying this treasure for gamecube

    best game ever <3

  • RE4 still retains many core RE elements; puzzles, typewriters, exploration, and in the (too short) Ashley Graham level, true hardcore RE gameplay. Honestly, they should have made you survive without weapons as Ashley much more than that short level.

    4 & 5 May seem similar but 4 has alot more character and its certainly much more creative and bold than its successor (there's alot of experimentation in terms of level design and gameplay in RE4).

  • mucho ingles kiero castellano

  • I have yet to complete the game(I have started to play it about two weeks ago on my PS2),and I'll have to agree with josephSwall. The game looks easy and boring in this video. How can you be afraid of something you can kill in one instant?

    This game is just not as intresting when you play for the second time...

  • Yes I might

  • I've never played this game. So would it be worth it to buy the hd remake?

  • @BubbatheHedgehog nope graphics havent changed much and gameplay exactly the same

  • @richy4123 he should buy the hd if he doesnt have a GC or can't find a copy to buy

  • @BubbatheHedgehog A MASSIVE yes. I'm watching this video because I've just been playing it again on Gamecube for the first time in 7 years. It's so good. Whether you have a PS2, GC, Wii or Xbox 360/PS3.. you need to play it.

  • @BubbatheHedgehog for your own sake..please play this game..it's awesome!

  • i played it on ps2

  • Controls far from ideal? I never felt them that way; if anything, the xbox 360 controls are bit more sluggish.

  • I think this is better than th xbox 360 version and ps3

  • @katlej It's not. The 360 & PS3 version is the Gamecube version with the PS2 extras added on. The reason why the original Gamcube version might appear better to the eye to some, is because not being in HD, the texture flaws are not magnified. But, if that HD factor bothers you, you can always turn the HD off on your system, or play it on a standard definition tube set. While HD does make certain texture flaws more noticeable, the overall effect of the HD, makes the game look great.

  • wait a sec...he says "surviving the whore" O.O

  • This is not scary at all, it's about shoot and upgrade guns...to shoot. A very good game indeed, just the storyline is bullshit.

  • Even though this game was remade for the Wii, for some reason I want to play the Gamecube version. 0_0

  • @HombreHonest Best control scheme out of all the versions.

  • @HombreHonest gc controller is soooo much better

  • @HombreHonest RE4 is on Gamecube, PS2, Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3, and I strongly recommend buying it, it's an awesome game.

  • @HombreHonest you can use the gamecube controller on the wii

  • i dont like RE4 as Resident Evil... its a great game when you remove any RE thing about it!!!

    Ive been playing Resident Evil most of my life and love 1, 2, and 3!!! 4 was not scary at all... but i still shit my paints when i here "STARS!' thats scary not "goholo" and as for the online COD people bicthing you cant walking and shot... ITS CALLED SKILL!!! GET SOME!!! As a long time RE fan i say 4 sucks... but only as a RE as a game.... its kick ass!!! but i do have one prob with it... the replay..

  • Comment removed

  • @kratos3821 Dude i agree!! I miss the old RE!!! I didnt know what they said but now that i do i want to play it again... another thing was its replay... its boring when you shot once and they die... me and my friends made challenges... No yellow herbs, no tune ups, no spending money, and no dieing... now that weve done that its boring... you cant do that in the first 3 Resident Evils!!!

  • I love this game!

    But I personally felt the previous games were way more scary.

  • This game is definitely the best in the series. I loved all the main stream Resident Evil games, but this is easily one of my favorite games on the PS2.

  • This Game was so fun, I used to do my homework in school just so I could come to my house and play this game all day

  • best game in the world

  • Best game of all time.

  • the regenrators scared the shit out of me..when i first played it back in 06

  • I'ts a Good Game

  • hu...oh sorry i was looking at the game not listining to you

  • ah I remember back in 05 this game was everywhere like on G4

  • wtf fuk did u pik up at 4:21. cause that no in the gamecube version

  • Nintendo Gamecube and SEGA Dreamcast are the top most underrated consoles ever

  • @topografer thats about right

  • @TheTdo30 Not many games but really who needs so many games?

  • @topografer Actually, the Dreamcast gets a lot of recognition these days, but the GameCube is still screwed over.

  • @topografer Nintendo Gamecube is underrated!?

  • @topografer EXCACTLY!!!!

  • @topografer heck yeah

  • very very good game still play it today

  • looking at the graphics/art style in this game, we really haven't come that far since the gamecube have we...

  • @zrchrn i know, i've always said that the graphics for this generation wasn't as big as the ps1 to ps2 jump

  • scary? i dont think so

  • on this game it is way ahead of its time even ahead of xbox 360 kind of 2020 game

  • hey man in 1880 there was a village in pakistan now body knew no cominucations no nothing in that villiage my father told me that this village was part of some rich merchant who got bankrupt there was blackmagic and all other stuff this game and its areas were just like that like father told and even there was a castle in this village

  • Comment removed

  • The game isn't that scary. I'm only 10 and I beat the wii version 4 times. to be honest, the first time i played the game i was a little scared. alfter you beat it once, you know what to expect so it is not scary. :)

  • This game isn't really scary outside of a few select enemies, when I say that I specifically mean regenerators. Dear God has that breathing haunted many a nightmare that I endured after I first beat this game

  • even with the "HD" release, the wii version is still the best.

  • I am not a thumbs up whore but Thumbs um if you bought a gamecube only for this game!

  • Dude.  wtf...How did dzilla1991 get thumbs up?

  • Hmmm...I'm not sure why people consider this the pinnacle of the series. I can't find definitive sales numbers but I'm pretty sure a lot of my sources indicate that RE2 is still the best selling RE game. Plus gamecube REmake was superior to this game. The over the shoulder aiming just overcomplicated the controls. It's not scary when enemies charge up to you and then stop so you can aim at their heads...

  • The gamecube and wii versions are better why because of the controls the ps2 xbox360 and ps3 controls suck so bad

  • I want this game. Good review, man.

  • @yoshiman9385 well, its 20 dollars on xbl and psn assuming you have one of those two consoles. the only crappy part about it is the fact it was marketed as an HD rerelease, yet the only difference is the enhanced textures. its still a great game though. you should go get it.

  • @rickthegunslinger Oh, okay. But I don't have any of those system. I'd like to get this game for my old gamecube, but I guess I'd have to order it from Amazon or something. I don't know of any store that still carries it.

  • @meg5493 umm... the reviewer is actually a girl...

  • @TheFarjack well then stares away from the awkardess from the reply.....are you sure O_O

  • watching this made me pissed i dont know if its the reviewers 12-year old voice or the fact that he's dissing one of my fav series but im disliking this :/

  • @meg5493 e is not dissing anything, the ps residen evils have horrible controls, simple as that, thye where horrible controls in the 90's compared with every single game in nintendo 64

  • @deraickripper yeah but after awhile you get used to the controls i mean i still play RE2 on hard in less than an 1hr i cant speak for everyone on that but its easy to get used too but i do get alittle upset that when ever i see a comment about RE its about how RE 4 is the best game in the series when it clearly isnt

  • i still play this game on my wii(GC Version) NEVER gets old!!

  • why is ashley dressed like a slut?

  • @azn2king He is using one of the unlock-able costumes where you can get Ashley dressed like that and Leon dressed in his Raccoon City police uniform.

  • @azn2king Its an unlockable costume

  • @azn2king ashley thought that if she dressed lik that leon would think she was hot but he mistook her for the village whore so he just left ,so now ashley is stalking leon

  • Don't come? Bad translation or reference to a certain zombie lightgun game :P

  • Which is better, PS2 or GC version?

  • @pokemonizkooolio In my opinion PS2 version is better, because after you pass through the game you get to play as Ada and see the story through another perspective... GC Version had better graphics but you couldn't play as Ada...

  • @pokemonizkooolio GC got better graphics and a more consistant control but ps2 has extra costumes and separate ways

  • the most creepy and horrifying game...

  • @ThinkShootRun Can't take you seriously with that username...

  • @SSBMsounds why?

  • @ThinkShootRun Lol, I thought you would play a lot of shooting games and horror games, you know, think, shoot, run. Never mind lol

  • @Peolle four here pc gc wii ps2 lol

  • Whats with the new generation complaining about tank controls? Resident evil is about the only series that had good tank controls!

  • Thank you for not being a total fan boy like many people do! Yeah, the old RE games we're awesome but also extremely annoying due to the awful controls. Fan boys are probably mad that this superior game made the franchise accessible to everyone, when they should be happy instead

  • @slrpr11

    The only people who think the older Resident Evil games have awful controls are people who don't know how to play video games, or people who have crippled hands.

  • @crazymiles Really? I thought it was the other way around but thank you. I guess I should listen to everything I read on the internet. I'll definitely get my hands checked

  • This game is coming in HD!! Can't wait.

  • The Chicago Typewriter is like a smaller Rocket Launcher.

  • god damn i hate regenerators D:

  • @Darryliscool I LUV EM!!! n__n

  • Gameshark for the PS2 any one?

  • @friendsrockist action replay is better.

  • Wow, you are REALLY kissing this games ass! Not that theres anything wrong with that :)

  • Wow. I just find out I am the "steel nerve" type.

  • thumbs up for the ps3 and 360 remake in HD!

  • The best video at the world

  • The knife fight was so intense. I loved playing this game on the hardest difficulty. omg.

  • RE4 is my favorite RE game :)

  • Leon is by far the best RE character ever but his hair style makes me think he's gay lol.

  • is this a man or a woman

  • Thumbs up!!! Leon is the best character in RE

  • RE5 Was SUCH a letdown coming from this game.

  • I know how much acclaim this game gets. I see it under the 30s of top games of all time. The only game Ive played that has horror aspects was Heavy Rain. I fricken loved that game. But also being a 3rd person shooter lover with Uncharted and a few other games, should I get this game? I feel it cannot be missed. If anyone tells me yes, also tell me what platform. Thanks:-)

  • @pokemonizkooolio if you have a wii get that version, it has the gamecube graphics and the PS2 extras but the wiimote makes aiming sometimes too easy since you can aim before drawing your gun. the game should be low prised now aswell so get the game its worth it.

  • @pokemonizkooolio Yes on gamecube. The wii version has some plus sides like some extra content but is censored in some areas, gamecube version probably is cheaper and feels right on the controller.

  • @pokemonizkooolio yes, it is a must... U should probably pick up the wii version I guess

  • I say all the versions are great.

  • I loved this game but Resident Evil 2 will remain as my favorite game of all-time.

  • Fix the aspect ratio...my eyes.

  • how about remake of the resident evil 3 nemesis??

    one of the best game on ps1

  • Just loaded up this bad boy on my gamecube time to get to disc 2 of it! never got that far, time to change that!

  • resident evil 5 .......hmmmmm....nope sorry chris leons better bro just quit your job let leon save the day

  • nah i like the ps2 1 better love ya sony and capcom ;D

  • Early 2005??? This game came out in 04' on GameCube... The PS2 version came out in 05'. Reviewer needs to learn is games better.

  • @dzilla1991 Um, actually... The GameCube version came out on January 11, 2005, and the PS2 version came out on October 25, 2005. Maybe you should learn your games better, before making smart ass comments.

  • @DarthJedi34 lmao your right.. damn i cant believe i was wrong...

  • RE4 was the last resident evil game that was actually scary. RE5 was not scary at all to me, and it was pretty much nothing but action and no scares.

  • @jasonvrhs14 true

  • Personally, I both this game the same day with Dead Space (RE4 was the WII Edition) and I remember not liking it at first but then really got sucked into this world. I remember just running among the villagers at first because I wasn't familiar with the controls let alone with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk.

  • i love this game 

  • gay shooting shoot them in the head fag

  • @stephencarlmagno so ur calling someone gay because there not shooting the enemies in the head......... ok?

  • Comment removed

  • RESIDENT EVIL¤ IS BEST XD!!!

  • This game was like perfect, unlike RE5....

  • @UndercoverCracker To be fair RE5 weren´t that bad however the single player in RE5 is so bad. I mean seriously Sheva can go fuck herself.

  • I bought this game for pc with a magazine,another game(project nomads,which is a good game) and a movie(a shitty movie,but who cares,I bought the magazine only for re4) and a extra 8gb dvd with programs and some other mini games for only 6€! the game is perfect,old bu still perfect,the graphics are AMAZING,the gameplay is perfect,the atmosphere is perfect...everything about this game is perfect! I love it!

  • Can some one please tell me what that revolver magnum was in the opening scene was and how can i get it in game?

  • @dmzle That was the Handcannon and you get it by scoring 60,000 or more on every level, with every character in Mercenaries. It doesn't come with unlimited ammo at first though, you have to upgrade it.

  • Anybody who says that games like vanquish are a weak japanese attempt at cashing in on the popularity of western shooters seem to forget the importance of this game. I doubt gears of war would've played the way it did without the influence of RE4. As far as I can remember RE4 popularized the "over-the-shoulder" camera angle that you now see in most 3rd person shooters.

  • @mayorbee2 I'm not the one who cries about slightly worse graphics so I think this one is for me :D

  • Can I assume that PS2 version is pretty much identical?

  • .... to msny big words me no understand..

  • I didnt think it was scary but it does make me very jumpy

  • sorry,didn't hear that it came out in 2005,kinda made myself look stupid
