Following the enormous success of the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3, Capcom decided to remake Resident Evil 4, and it appears, at least based on first impressions, that they succeeded completely. According to Metacritic, the game is extremely well received, with an average review score of 93, which is more than good considering the game is a remake with linear, single-player-only gameplay.
