I've had the flu for six days, but you know what's made it bearable? Resident Evil 4. I've got a PS2. Oh don't think I'm all "gamer" because I'm not. The only reason I have it, is because my brother bought an X-Box 360 and took that with him to University... So, I've got the "hand me down" system. I don't care, I think it's awesome. And it came with a whole catalogue of games. So, over the last few months I've been reacquainting myself with the PS2... The last time I really got to use it was when my brother still lived at home and had a girlfriend... She thought games were for nerds... I thought she was a bitch... My brother thought she was cheating on him. (turns out, we were all right) Anyway, so, I've been sick enough that my mom "insisted" I stay home and do homework. So, Resident Evil 4. How amazing is this game? Kick-ass-über-amazing! I mean, MY GOD DOES THIS GAME KICK SOME SERIOUS ASS! You play Leon (from Resident Evil 2). No longer a Cop in Raccoon City (it was nuked at the end of Resident Evil 2 - oh yeah, I know my Resident Evil..) (Umm, K, maybe I am a bit of a gamer) Leon is on a special mission to rescue the President's daughter from the hands of an evil-crazy-spanish-cult... Along the way you encounter infected locals and CHAINSAW-WEILDING-PAPERBAG-HEADDED MANIACS! And a lot of stuff that would make even the strongest of stomached queasy. Worried there aren't any zombies? Look, I love zombies (who doesn't? Zombie-Hating-Phil? Well, screw him, he's an idiot) and I didn't miss them at all... These infected villagers are enough for me. They run at you, with knives 'n stuff, and they attack you fast and hard. A nice switch up from the slow moving Zombies, which at the end of the day - as fun as it is to blow their heads off with a shotgun - it's not really that much of a challenge (except for Zombie-Hating-Phil... Hey, maybe that's why he hates Zombies! That and because he's an idiot) The cut scenes are really well done, the best yet of any of the Resident Evils (which isn't saying much, cuz they usually suck) and the story ALMOST MADE SENSE! When you finish the game, you get to play a WHOLE OTHER GAME! "Project Ada", which is only on the PS2, not on the Gay-Cube version. Now, I have to do my homework... *caff* *caff* Oh, maybe I'm... not well enough... to... must... play... Resident... Evil... 4.... Again... :) Jenny from Canada.
