I’ve been a fan of the Resident Evil series since the Resident Evil Director’s Cut for the Playstation way back when. A lot of people complain about the now-cliched gameplay and “tank” controls, but I still love ’em.
Even so, I have to admit that the REworking (pun intended) of the series with Resident Evil 4 was a huge leap in the right direction. I played the first couple of chapters early this year, but just now have gotten around to (almost) finishing it. This is such a great game – on one hand, it is so stressful and tense that I hate to play it, but it’s so good that I can’t stop. It’s that perfect combination of challenge with a sense of progress. I’m probably an hour or two from finishing the game, but from what I understand there is a lot more game left once you finish the actual storyline. I just want to finish it though! I don’t see how people can play games like Baldur’s Gate 2 that require upwards of 100 hours to complete… even with a great game such as RE4, I’m 17 hours in and am ready for it to be done.
With that being said, once I’ve seen the ending, I plan on playing through it again 
Just a brilliant game. And supposedly the sequel isn’t too far off – can’t wait!
