An 88 average from its 187 true believers. Horror that commits, from Capcom — survival atmosphere, real dread, and scares that aren't cheap. Solo only, and better for it — this is a one-player experience through and through.

About this game

A port of Resident Evil 4 for the PlayStation 2. Almost all of the GameCube's real-time cut scenes were converted into movie files to maintain higher quality. Furthermore, the quality of voices and sound effects outside the cut-scenes had been reduced due to the rapid consumption of disc space and audio RAM constraints. Capcom added new content specifically for this port to compensate for the late release, including minigames, documentaries, and costumes.

The game's main protagonist is Leon S. Kennedy, one of the few survivors of the Raccoon City incident, who was recruited and trained by the US Government to become a special agent after they learned of his actions in Raccoon City. Now an agent for a special security agency, Leon is sent to Spain on a mission to rescue Ashley Graham, the President's daughter, who has been kidnapped by a mysterious cult organization.
