"Resident Evil 4 is almost universally adored. If not, its respective band of naysayers are divided as to why they didn't enjoy it. One school can't get past the fact that it's a foray into more action-oriented gameplay, forgoing the survival horror label. The others simply complain that it was a bad game, and that they'd never slap the Resident Evil name on it. While we all know gamers will come up with any reason to talk down about a title they may enjoy otherwise, good game or not, the jury is still out on whether you could classify Resident Evil 4 as a "classic" RE title. However, whether you're a fan of the game or not, it might be of note that it didn't always start out the same as the end product."
