Because I have only two PC’s at home and no consoles, there are many games, which I can only envy of console players. And of course one of those games is Resident evil series. Fortunatelly Resident evil is one of the better examples, because even if long time after console release, even PC gamers can play this game on their machines. But as you can see on new Resident evil 4, everything is not as good as it look like.

I’m playing fourth Resident evil for few days now and I must really ask, why are developers so dumb. Why can’t they make honest PC conversion? Even if there is still great game in the core, it’s difficult to play it on PC because of one of dumbest controls I’ve ever seen. If you don’t use unofficial plug-in you can’t even use a mouse!

But even if you get used to it, it’s not everything yet. Game contains many action minigames, where you must push the right buttons in the right time. Actually I love these minigames and I think, that it’s good way to show player another part of story in animation but not let him just sit and watch. The problem is that Resident evil 4 doesn’t show you what button on your keyboard to push - it shows number of button on Gamecube/PS2 gamepad and you have no choice but to guess what button is the right one (actually you must push two buttons most time).

So, please, please, if you make a conversion, make it properly and you’ll see, that players will love you for this;o)
