For a remake of a game that didn't really need one, this is outstanding. The gameplay combines the modern control scheme of the recent remakes with the action of the original RE4, and it works incredibly well. The overall atmosphere is much more tense and filled with dread than the original, and the revised characterizations of Ashley and Luis, while noticeably different, are very welcome changes. While I do miss the campiness of the original, and Salazar and Saddler's new characterizations are much more generic and less memorable than the original, that's a comparatively minor gripe considering how otherwise amazing this game is.
