    I tried to like it, It had a lot of potential, but sony just didn't try hard enough. Or more like at all. Thankfully, Chronicals is coming out.
    I'm assuming you mean Capcom and not Sony.

    I don't know who's at fault for removing the lightgun compatability for the US version but leaving it in for all other releases.

    Im surprised Jack T. hasn't gone off on Chronicals, the way he is Manhunt 2. Considering what with the shooting at VT

    Probably since it doesn't use a gun controller.

    Guys.

    Guys I am pumped for this release.
    I am SO pumped.

    RE4's got a lot of history for me. First time I smoked pot I spent most of my buzz replaying the village melee over and over again. I lost my virginity when I started kissing my girlfriend to stop her bragging about her high score in Mercenaries with Krauser. He watched us with his cold, dead eyes from the 16 inch screen.

    It could be that it's from a Japanese company that doesn't have a huge corporate presence in the US, which is really the only country where he can practice law in any way. Also, he's probably completely focused on Manhunt 2 at the moment.

    Holy shit, this is fucking sabotage right here! Another review which does not mention the different control options you have, while at the same time pimping the PC version for its higher-res graphics AND saying you can get the same game cheaper by getting either PS2 or GC (which at this point would probably be used copies and therefore Capcom wouldn't get any of those sales).

    Unbelievable! I'd love to hear how they explain this on their next podcast.

    Why must I have a large backlog and little money instead of the other way around? :( ......er, large backlog for me. I know it'd be small for everyone else.)

    Gamespot review
    The Good: Intuitive, elegant controls make playing RE4 a joy all over again; nail-biting action features creepy enemies and gargantuan bosses; top-notch production values create an atmosphere of tension and dread; long, suspenseful story and excellent replay value make this a steal for 30 bucks.

    The Bad: The controls soften the difficulty level a bit; no wii-specific content.

    What the fuck is with the scanlines?



    Anyway..

    I like how some reviewers say that the controls are great and sometimes make the game a little easier, while other reviewers knock points for the controls being 'tacked on' and more difficult because they 'add an extra step'.

    So let's get down to brass tacks. The reason that the Wii version is the best is because the new control system makes the gameplay more enjoyable.

    I wonder when outpost.com/frys.com is going to send out my game. I have a feeling it'll be a week or two. :(

    edit: I just noticed the URL for that review is kind of weird (Umbrella Chronicles?), but it does lead to the correct review
