I highly doubt she could! Mario 2 was her only forte.

Resident Evil 4 (Gamecube)


Resident Evil 4 is actually a game that I did not have a desire to play for the longest time. I had played each and every single Resident Evil game in the series, and was starting to get tired of it. I expected more of the same. However, quickly after finally giving it a shot, I knew I had been wrong. This game breaks the RE mold in every way, shape, and form. In a good way.

This game takes place in some European village. You play as Leon Kennedy, who you may remember as the Cop from Resident Evil 2. He is on a mission to rescue the president's daughter Ashley, who has been kidnapped! You start the game in an eery, foggy forest. The entire atmosphere of this game is very authentic. The game can be creepy when it needs to be creepy, and intense when it wants to be intense. The beginning starts out creepy. You investigate and old house in the forest and discover someone acting very strangely... When you are attacked, you must kill the zombie-ish (or is he just possessed?) dude.

After you get out of the house, you find that your rides is gone, and the bridge is out. No choice but to investigate further! As you continue into the forest, you fight more possessed people and uncover some very bizarre discoveries. One of my favorite parts in the whole game comes very early when you discover the village filled with possessed people. Armed with nothing more than a handgun, shotgun, and a knife, you are thrust into an epic life or death battle that never seems to end. It is really cool. The guy with the chainsaw and the bag on his head freaks me out too.

As you progress in the game, you eventually find the daughter and escort her to safety. The levels you go through in this game are stunning. From the forest, to a swamp, to a giant castle, to old deserted houses, everything is authentic and looks fantastic. The action and controls are different from previous RE games. The perspective takes place from a completely behind the back perspective, as opposed to previous games where you maneuver around fixed camera points. Fighting is different too. Instead of just drawing your weapon and licking on, you actually have to aim in this game. Most guns have a laser site where you can aim your shot accurately. Where you shoot each zombie has an effect on the way it comes after you. Shoot it in the knee, it drops to the ground. Shoot it in the arm, it will drop it's weapon (yes, the zombies use weapons in this game). In the head is where you want to get it.

Like the other RE games, this one is filled with humongous and frightening looking bosses. Unlike the original RE games, this one seems more action oriented and less about solving puzzles and exploring. Which is a good thing if you were bored by earlier entries in the series.

All in all, this is a very great, action filled game. It picked it up just expecting it to be okay, but instead it was amazing. This is a game I can pick up over and over again. It doesn't seem to get old. If you are not a fan of the series, this game is worth a look because it definitely breaks the mold of the earlier games and stands out on its own.

Ashkunt was a little twat and I hated having to escort her around. I killed her many times just for my own personal amusement.
