Capcom Resident Evil 4 - PlayStation 2

Perfectly good game

It didn’t work on my PS2. It’s too much hassle to return it so that’s where I’m left. Very disappointed, this is not the usual standard of Amazon products as far as I’m concerned.

輸入版ですが、別途のスワップマジックとマジックスイッチがあれば、日本版PS2でも起動します。 日本の『バイオハザード4』よりもグロイです※ レオンやエイダ等の主要キャラの惨殺シーン。 そのシーンから漂う血生臭さ。 更に、敵の首等も吹き飛びますが、稀に首が無いまま攻撃して来る敵がいます。←怖いです。 日本の『バイオハザード4』より刺激が欲しいと言う方に推薦の『Resident Evil 4』です。

Llegó a tiempo, venía en excelentes condiciones y sellado; aunque se safo el disco en el trayecto (supongo) y se rayó un poco el disco, pero no afectó en nada y funciona perfecto

I surprised my younger brother with the classic Resident Evil 4 for PlayStation 2, hoping it'd give him that perfect mix of heart-pounding action and creepy vibes to dive into during his gaming marathons. Boy, was I right—this 2005 masterpiece from Capcom is still a beast of a game, even on the aging PS2 hardware. Picked it up for about $20 used (a steal compared to its original $50 launch price), and it's already glued him to the couch for hours. If you're gifting to a teen (or anyone) who loves survival horror with a side of over-the-shoulder shooting, this is pure gold. Five stars—it's not just a game; it's a rite of passage. What I Loved Most Gripping Story and Atmosphere: You step into the boots of Leon S. Kennedy, the wisecracking secret agent on a mission to rescue the president's daughter from a zombie-infested Spanish village. The narrative hooks you from the eerie opening cutscene, blending campy one-liners with genuine dread—think chainsaw-wielding psychos and parasitic monsters that crawl right out of your nightmares. My brother raves about the "Las Plagas" cultists; they're smarter and scarier than the old-school zombies, turning every encounter into a tense standoff. Revolutionary Gameplay: This was the game that ditched clunky fixed cameras for smooth over-the-shoulder aiming, making combat feel modern and intuitive (even by today's standards). The resource management—scavenging for ammo, herbs, and upgrades—keeps you on your toes, while quick-time events and knife finishes add that satisfying "just dodged death" thrill. Boss fights? Epic. My bro's already on his second playthrough for the unlockables like the Chicago Typewriter machine gun. At 20-25 hours for the main story, it's replayable heaven. PS2 Port Perfection: The PS2 version nails the visuals with widescreen support and progressive scan for crisp 480p glory on modern TVs (via component cables). Load times are a hair longer than the GameCube original, but the extra content—like the "Separate Ways" Ada Wong mini-campaign—makes it the definitive edition. Sound design is killer too: that chainsaw rev-up still gives me chills. Any Downsides? It's a 2005 game, so controls can feel a bit tanky if you're used to analog-stick everything (no full 360-degree aiming), and the auto-aim helps but takes getting used to. Controls might frustrate super-modern gamers at first, but that's part of the charm—my brother powered through in a day. Also, no online co-op, but who needs it when the solo tension is this good? Bottom Line Resident Evil 4 on PS2 is a legendary survival horror title that redefined the genre and still holds up as one of the best action-adventures ever made—96/100 on Metacritic isn't hype; it's earned. Gifting this to my brother was spot-on; he's hooked on the adrenaline rush and begging for RE5 next. If you're hunting retro thrills or introducing a young gamer to Capcom's magic, snag this ASAP. It's affordable, immersive, and guaranteed to create some "holy crap, did that just happen?" family stories. (Pro tip: Grab a memory card if you're low on space—the save files and extras eat it up, but it's worth every byte!)
