Well after giving up on Resident Evil 2. And just recently started playing Resident Evil 4. For clarification the first gamelog was just a small comment on how much I hate Resident Evil 2 not the actual log. Resident Evil 4 has vastly improved on the gameplay aspects of the Resident Evil Franchise, evolving from the bad horror movie camera angles to a real third person shooter with fully interactable environments. No more annoying door opening animation sequences, and absurb counter-intutitive controls. The overall effect is a much more seamless gameplay that allows the player to dive right into the action-packed storyline from the begining, instead of fighting camera and controls as much as the zombies. Although the puzzles stay relatively the same throughout the Resident Evil franchise, the overall presentation, redone control structure, menu systems, and combat system take Resident Evil 4 exponentially past the other zombie shooters.

I recently finished Resident Evil 4, The subsequent boss fights were somewhat annoying but overall the game ended nicely, the unlockable extras were really interesting such as the game Separate Ways which reveals the parallel storyline of Ada Wong. Overall the challenging levels made for a fun experience and the upgradeable weapons definitely helped game along. Personally the second storyline was much faster and more interesting if not frustrating, but revealed all the quirks in the storyline that were left unexplained. The best redeeming feature of the game is the mercenaries mini-game were you get limited time and ammo, and you just get to kill zombies, although the mini-game was also featured in Resident Evil Code Veronica, the various weapons, melee attacks, over the shoulder view, and new characters allow for a much more interesting gameplay.

I decided to quit playing resident evil 2, because of the redunancy of the puzzles and limited gameplay and rehashed storyline. I have also decided to take up the latest part of the series Resident Evil 4, which after 5 min of playing had greatly improved upon all the shortcomings of resident evil 2. However Resident Evil 4 is a completely new style of game compared to the older resident evils. A better choice in terms of gameplay would be the Resident evil original remake for Gamecube or the coninuation Resident Evil Code Veronica, neither are as revolutionary for the franchise as Resident Evil 4 is but a much better play than Resident Evil 2.

Resident Evil 2 is a decent game overall, but lacks enough to keep playing in the option to play as the second character. In the second half of the game you gain a new playable character, but you start out in nearly the exactly same levels as the first character and end up doing 90% of the same puzzles. The resulting gameplay is definitely not good, and possibly the avid gamer would complete the story arc but in its redundancy it was too boring to complete for me. In turn the game gets slow fast, as you finish the few levels, and the storyline remains average enough to not even care about finishing the game.
