Resident Evil 4 IGN Review
resident evil finally makes its way to the PC and IGN has got the goods on whether RE is as good on the PC as it was on the consoles. Quick tip: Resident Evil 4 is almost the same gamethat was on the console, which is both bad and good. Bad because Capcom never even bothered to include high res textures and map the controls to the mouse (what's up with that?), Good because it retains the RE4 pacing and story plus good character models and the ability to go 1900×1200 resolution-wise!
Unless you've been hibernating in a PC bunker for the last two years, you've probably played this one already. It hit GameCube in early 2005 and blasted onto the PS2 later that year with a deflated price point and extra content. Now it's 2007, Resident Evil 4 is on PC, it's got all the added goodies of the PS2 and the same addictive gameplay. Unfortunately, Capcom forgot to add mouse support, upgraded textures, any kind of scalable graphics interface, or anything new beyond the PS2 version.
