Resident Evil 4 was one of the few games that ran in widescreen only last generation, making the PSP's 16:9 display even more ideal.Īlthough the controls may be well suited for the PSP, the game's technological requirements may mean this game will never see the light on our system. The game's intuitive controls come from its simplicity: a single button controls much of the action that you'll need. The Gamecube original rarely utilized the second analog stick, simply because it was unnecessary. Resident Evil 4's behind-the-back perspective removes one of the greatest frustrations of most PSP action games: the lack of camera control. With its chilling enemies and brilliant gameplay, the game earned an impressive 96 average on Metacritic. The game completely reinvented the Resident Evil formula, placing the camera behind the game's protagonist, Leon, freeing the player from the notorious tank-like controls the series was infamous for.

Resident Evil 4 is without a doubt one of the finest games created in the last generation. To kick-start this feature, I decided to shoot for the stars. Feel free to check in, and comment, every Tuesday. Dream Games is a new weekly column where we explore a game we'd love to see on the PSP.
