In case it isn't abundantly clear, you don't need to be a Resident Evil fan to appreciate Resident Evil 4.

In addition to featuring some slick new cutscenes and more than a few more hours of great gameplay, Separate Ways sheds new light onto some aspects of the storyline and explains why some of the things that happen to Leon are more than just happy coincidences. Chiefly among them is a side story called Separate Ways, which lets you play as the elegant, enigmatic spy Ada Wong as she finds herself in the same place at the same time as Leon, the hero of the story. The content of the GameCube version is all intact here, but in addition to that, some key extras have been added.

The game controls just as well on the PS2 as it does on the GameCube. Having played the original, you'd find no signs that the PS2 got the short end of the stick, even though this version was announced only at about the same time as production on the original was wrapping up. The good news is it stacks up remarkably well, resulting in one of the best-looking, most atmospheric PS2 games to date.

If you're already familiar with Resident Evil 4, chances are you just want to know how the PS2 version stacks up to the original. It obviously isn't for the squeamish or for those otherwise not qualified to play this gory, mature-rated game, which is too bad for them, because it's hard to imagine anyone else not being consistently thrilled and impressed by what Resident Evil 4 has to offer. Like that game, this is an amazing achievement in a variety of ways: Its inspired, state-of-the-art cinematic presentation works extremely well with its relentlessly exciting, white-knuckle action, all of which is wrapped up in a decidedly lengthy adventure chock-full of hidden secrets and bonus extras.
