Obviously there was a lot of controversy around this because the voice actress was brought on after the original Ada voice actress joined a union, so thanks Capcom for being utter trash on that front. It also didn't help that the new voice actress for Ada came across so flat in the original game.

I do think she's stronger here, giving Ada a bit more personality, but whenever they replayed the RE4 cutscenes it was a noticeable downgrade. I have no idea what happened there, whether it was bad direction or bad acting.

The game itself is fun, and I enjoyed it more than the original Separate Ways which I never actually finished. It's interesting how these games are so similar to the originals, but have added little quirks that actually make them fun for me. Maybe original fans disagree, but I do generally prefer the remakes of 2 and 4.

Not a huge amount to say about this other than that I enjoyed it and naturally played it on hardcore first-time round.
