Absolutely hooked on this!

That's what most of us are looking for in this. Actually, I'm just amazed and glad that they would put such a great game on the iPhone. The only real complaint I have is the control stick is a bit too sensitive. As soon as you tap it it goes straight to the edge. But then again it's still in production it seems but at least the game is pretty much complete and we'll be seeing it pretty soon if they decide to bring itto America as one of the 10 promised games.

The controls are bad! it moves so slow! Movement in this game is hard you gotta like turn it all the way. The joystick should have much more better.
All capcom have done is implemented Resident Evil Degeneration's controls and stuck it in RE4!

Shame on you Capcom!

I enjoyed RE4 on the GameCube so this just looks awesome. I don't think the controls look too bad either though they might take some getting used to.

My question is though, why don't we see any "S" optimized games (aka games that would turn on a "better graphics mode" if your using a iPhone 3GS/upcoming iPod Touch) because the S could come allot closer to replicating the graphics of the original console release of RE4.

No one buys that "poor controls add to the feel of the game" crap anymore. The controls for RE4 were a step into the modern era back in 2005 for the RE series. Re5 suffered as a result of not improving thee control system.

Excusing poor control schemes when there are much better available was a laughable argument in the console realm, much less on the iPhone where games live and die on the control scheme more than any other gaming system.

To give you credit, Ahiro, you did state that you prefer RE2 over RE4. That's my point: it's a preference. Just because we now have Left 4 Dead doesn't mean that another form of gameplay is obsolete. I have absolutely no problem with you hating RE4's gameplay, but you seem to be offended by the fact that someone else is enjoying it.

Oh, and by the way, IGN gave RE4/PS2 9.5. The press average is 9.6, and the reader average is 9.4. None of which means you have to like the game — just that a lot people do. And, as a point of fact, I've always been more of a Silent Hill man, at least until RE Degeneration on the iPhone.

how the heck, you've got both arms and legs, why can't you just shoot and walk/run?? what kind of survival game is that… you wouldn't even need zombies to try to survive with only either arms or legs…

i know this ain't no FPS, but RE4 ruined its origins, RE2 is still my favorite, AND the gameplay fit it back then…

@Jose

since when gamespot is the reviewer-god?? check their perfect dark zero review and a lot others…

you seem more like a RE4 fanboy that can't accept the fact the gameplay is indeed old and outdated, despite my opinion on the game (I don't like it but i didn't say my opinion was above everyone else's…)

Actually, looking at this i wonder how half of the deaths in the game are going to look, and whether this'll be a dumbed down version or not. Looking at how well Degeneration went it probably wont be dumbed down, but I'm wondering how they're going to fit that entire game in one app. And as for the deaths, I'm sure apple won't allow half of the deaths like the chainsaw one, although looking at Livefire/Killtest it might be possible.

One last thing I'm curious about is whether this'll have the Mercenaries and the other extra modes that RE4 had.
