Let's just say it, most first and third person shooters on the iPhone suck. Typically, games such as this are plagued by bad control schemes. His investigation leads him to a wee town in South America that is seemingly deserted but actually inhabited by (not so much of a spoiler coming) ZOMBIES! You make your way through 12 (somewhat short) levels finding and leading the President's daughter to safety. You play the role of Leon, a police officer turned secret service agent who is charged with the task of finding the President's kidnapped daughter. RE4: Mobile edition took me about a quarter of that time. The Gamecube version took me about 25 hours. The plot of the game is simple enough, and was made a bit more so for the iPhone version. This one is kind of like spending the night with. RE4 on the Gamecube was as scary as the thought of a night locked in a room with a coked out Richard Simmons. The only thing that doesn't really come over from the gamecube version is the fear factor. Almost all of the weapons are carried over, so for you die hard RE4 fans, you'll recognize the pistol, shotgun, rifle, tmp, bazooka, and the upgrades that can be applied to all these weapons. Graphically the game looks great and is by far one of the best looking games on the iPhone. Resident Evil 4: Mobile edition almost manages to translate all of this. Plus the game was scary enough to make you crap your pants.


You always had to know how much ammo you had for each gun because it felt as if you were always on the brink of being completely defenseless. It included a great variety of enemies, tons of beautiful environments, lots of guns, and while the game was a pure shooter there were still many moments where the player had to stop and think. The game took forever to beat but every second of it was a gamer's bliss. It pushed that little plastic cube to its' very limits, delivering graphics and gameplay most didn't believe was possible from Nintendo's little black and purple box. RE4 for the Gamecube is one of my most fond memories of gaming. go buy this game and become a Resident Evil fan.

If you're a Resident Evil fan then you should have the game already. But alas, fear not, CAPCOM's port of Resident Evil 4 for the Gamecube has finally hit the iPhone and it was an honor to play through it and to deliver this review to yee humble iPhone gamers.īasically what I'm saying is, go buy this game now. I was beginning to think that my reviews would consist of B and C list apps that would make even the most stoic of gamers shed a tear or two. Thank you dear six pound, eight ounce Baby Jesus for this game.
