Advantages: too many to list

Disadvantages: quite hard to find in stores

Resident evil has long been one of those games where you either love it or hate it and i think many of you would agree with me when i say that this is because of the camera angles employed by the game. Well worry no more and prepare to embrace this new 3rd person game from capcom.

Survival horror:
This game implements the element of survival better than any of the other weapons, this time you really are short on ammo and youre going to have to use your wits if you are to survive. Luckilly for you this game allows you to barricade yourself into buildings and defend yourelf but be warned stay there too long and you will have company.

violence:
This is one thing which is certainly abundant in Resi 4, with a plethora of weapons including some old favourites you die hard fans will love, its hard to not kill absolutely everything you can, well at least untill you run out of ammo anyway.

AI:
The AI in this game is far superior to the previous resi games, because this time you are dealing with far more than just zombies; without giving away too much, these guys have been infected with a parasite which is able to take control of its host, allowing for intelligable thought. they can use weaponary, ladders, operate various machinery and just about everything else the zombies couldnt- YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! The main advantage in this of course is the sheer satisfaction that can be gained from mowing these enemies down and outwitting them especially with the new control system.

Controls:
Awesome controls, never has a game felt so right on the gamecube as this, really easy to get used to and it really helps with all the killing that needs to be done. The user now has the ability to aim the gun in first person mode and since the weapons have a lazer sight this is an excellent option for taking those heads clean off- BOOM HEADSHOT!

Story:
This game has all the plot you would expect from any resi game, although it does deal with more than just the umberella corporation this time, but dont worry i wont give any details away here. The only downside is that the game is a lot more linear than the older ones in the series, but on the plus side it does mean you no longer have to spend hours wandering around the same section of game, but you puzzle fans dont despair the game still has all the puzzles you could need although i cant help feel they have been dumbed down slightly.

inventory:
No more inventory juggling anymore, those chests have now been replaced with a rather shifty looking merchant who is willing to upgrade your weapons and sell you items (unfortunately no ammo), but be warned he will of course need something in return. The new inventory screen is a lot cleaner than the old one and the health screen here has been replaced by a small in game HUD which is very handy, and there is now a seperate area for treasures and keys to stop them filling up youre inventory.

Graphics/ Gameplay:
Both are awesome, after playing this game on a friends machine i decided i had to own it, after saving up i bought myself a gamecube and the game and i do not regret it! The graphics are crisp and completingthe game more times only seeks to unlock new secrets and there are also a few mini games including a thoroughly awesome remake of the classic mercenaries game.

IF YOU LIKE RESIDENT EVIL, 3RD PERSON SHOOTERS OR PUZZLE GAMES THEN THIS IS THE ONE FOR YOU.

PLEASE NOTE THIS GAME IS NOT ADVISED FOR YOUNGER GAMERS

Summary: AWESOME!
