Charming stuff, if still obviously retaining bits and pieces of it's origins as the first iteration of Resident Evil 4. What little plot there is feels almost like the bones upon which Leon's adventure through the Spanish countryside was built, even down to the final vehicle escape sequence right after finishing off the final boss. I may not feel the need to return to this super often considering how well the later games evolved on the systems and formula set out here, but there's more than enough on offer to justify trying this out at least once.
