Push Square 10/10

"Resident Evil 4 is, and will forever remain, a masterpiece. It says a lot when you can pop in a game over a decade old, and still get as engrossed into everything it has to offer like it was the first time ever experiencing it. If you have somehow still never played this game, put down whatever game(s) you are playing and make room for this survival horror smash. And if you've played it countless times on several platforms, it's still worth forking over a couple of bucks to revisit this legendary game."

SomosXbox 10/10

"‎Resident Evil 4 is still a marvel.‎‎ Its history, villains, characters and everything that surrounds it have made the title one of the great must-sees of the genre. Despite not having aged too well, it continues to be a benchmark of the genre and a game that marked a before and after when launched on the market. Now it remains only to hope that Resident Evil 4 Remake is a reality and that, who knows, it picks up the baton of its predecessor taking the GOTY.‎"

GamePitt 10/10

"Should you buy Resident Evil 4 again? If portable Resident Evil 4 is something you are even mildly wanting, then yes. If you have never owned Resident Evil 4 before, then yes. If water is something you can't live without, then yes. See what I'm trying to say here? Sure, there is nothing new added to the game, but does it really need anything new? This may be the eleventh time that Resident Evil 4 has been re-released, but that's fine. The game still holds up great today and plays perfectly on Nintendo's console, albeit without motion controls."

GINX TV 10/10

"Resident Evil 4 is a masterfully streamlined reimagining of Leon and Ashley's 18 years of the original adventure. It smartly evolves several aspects of that game to make it more exciting to the modern audience. By doing all this, it once again cements itself as the greatest action horror game of all time."
