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.

Okay entry. It is good that you were willing to explore the game further and find something a little bit better, but there were some significant problems over the fact that I just know how you feel towards the game, but not why you feel that way other than the fact that you didn't like the puzzles. You should really delve into what the differences are betweeen the two games and why you liked one opposed to the other. You could have mentioned the over the shoulder shooting in RE4 and what you didn't like. On your next game try to talk more about why you like the new one from the old one, not just that you do.

When I wrote this log I had just started the game I didn't even get a chance to play it for more than five minutes, the original log is just my initial reaction to the game, the second log is the real review.
