RE4, PS2 or GC?

I would get both ad they both give the player something different. I find the cube version harder for some reason and i have done the ps2 version over and over.

I guess it's easyer because the PS2's version can't handle as many non-zombes on the screen at the same time as the GC version can.

Where is the logic in that. I am quite sure there is no difference at all in the number of enemies.

PS2. You get more post-game exclusives such as the Solar Beam, and Mercenaries if I'm not mistaken.

It was the lighting and shadows which gave RE4 its' atmosphere.. and the best version for this was the Gamecube. RE4 on the PS2 was a good attempt and a technical achievement. The PC version was better when you had the patch to provide fog and shadows & the high resolution movie files.

Mercenaries was available on the GC version too.

You just dont get some extra Ada Chapter and one or two other things...

In RE4 GC:
- Ada Mission (well the start anyway)
- Mercenaries

thats with just one playthrough in easy

The PS2's blurry graphics and slowdowns water down the experience by a whole lot, and the extras aren't worth it. That's coming from someone who loves the game and the series, and finished RE4 more times than he can count on both consoles.

Since you don't have a Wii, get the GC version. Prettier, smoother, better. The only con about this version is the disc-swapping (2 mini-DVDs), but personally I don't see that as much of a problem.


PS: In case you REALLY are that interested in the PS2 extras, I'd reccommend renting the game and getting a full game save from a friend.
PS2: Heck, just noticed you bought the GC version already lol. Anyways, great purchase! Enjoy one of the best action-adventures ever made.

The game was built around the gamecube, better graphics and controls (I personally can't stand the PS2 controller).
