I just beat Resident Evil 4 last night, and I have to say, it's a whiz-band thrill ride that will leave you breathless and white (from shock) by the end of it. I said it on Wednesday, and I'll say it again: this game is simply and utterly amazing. The amount of care and love that went into making this game is apparent from every little aspect of it. From the wonderful environments, the fabulous and ingenious characters, to the awesome new camera system, it's just so apparent.
I have to say at this point in time, if the year ended now (and I know it just started), RE4 is definitely, without a doubt my Game of the Year 2005. The game oozes polish and fun, and it gives people without one a reason to own a Gamecube. This is the Gamecube Killer App.
I'll go into it much more in-depth in my review, which will be completed once I finish my 2nd run-through of the game, but I just simply can't believe how much faith Shinji Mikami put back into me regarding this franchise. It's simply unbelievable.
