Amazon.co.uk Review
In a nutshell:
Welcome back to the world of survival horror… as you’ve never seen it before. Probably the most ambitious revamp of a series ever seen this neither looks nor plays like any Resident Evil game before it. Gone are in dodgy camera angles of yore and in comes all action third person adventure action with stunning graphics and set pieces.

The lowdown: Charged with rescuing the president’s daughter from a mysterious Spanish cult, you control Leon S. Kennedy from Resident Evil 2. Although series regulars like the green health herbs and rubbish dialogue are present almost everything else has changed: there's a completely new 3D environment, few puzzles, no magic chests and not a single repeated monster from the old games. Instead you face a series of supremely cinematic set pieces and boss battles, including an escape from a village filled with Texas Chainsaw Massacre extras. As the Black Eyed Peas once remarked, "pick up your range of deeply unpleasant biological weapons and let's get retarded." Most exciting moment: The frantic siege from the villagers in the abandoned cottage has got Evil Dead beat easy. Since you ask: Resident Evil 4 won four awards at this year’s Golden Joysticks event, including Editor’s Game of the Year. The bottom line: The best game of the year and one of the best action games of all time. Harrison Dent

Leon's girlfriend was not impressed with her Christmas bondage gear Is it just us, or is there the face of an old man (God?!) hidden in the rocks? Survival horror faux pas no.256: wearing leather in a hardcore vegan community. Would look cooler if he held the gun at a 90 degree angle, like Ice Cube in Friday

He has been tasked to look into the abduction of the President's daughter and his investigation has led him to a mysterious location in Europe. As Leon encounters unimaginable horrors, he must find out who or what is behind this new nightmare.
