Capcom has released a demo version ofResident Evil 4for the iPhone, calledResident Evil 4 Lite. As demos usually go, you can get it for free on the App Store, and will have the chance to try out the game’s first chapter.
The full game costs $6.99, but is it worth it? Uh, that’s what the free demo is for, dummy — to find out! From my own experience with theLiteversion, I can say that (if anything) it certainlylookslikeResident Evil 4.
But as far as playing it goes, it really shows the limitations of the iPhone hardware. You can’t simply adapt a game that was designed for an analog stick to a touch screen, simply adding a phantom touch-analog stick in its place. Maybe it’s just me, but I find that impossible (and annoying) to use.
Am I alone in this? What do you think ofResident Evil 4on the iPhone? Did you hear, there’s a free demo version available now! I wrote about it once.
