The decision to port Resident Evil 4 for the PS2 was a successful one from Capcom's part as the PS2 version of the game managed to outsell the GameCube version in a few months. According to the last Capcom software sales charts, the PS2 version had sold 1.8 million units as of May 2006. [4]

The GameCube version of Resident Evil 4 went through slight modifications in each regional release since the initial one. The North American version was the first and the original to be released, followed shortly by the Japanese version. These two versions are reportedly identical in most aspects (excluding localization), with the only difference being that animation involving decapitation was censored and removed from the Japanese version. This was presumably due to the fact that Resident Evil 4 was the first game in the series (not including re-releases and ports) to be rated by the Computer Entertainment Rating Organization, which objected to the game's depictions of decapitations.

Fourth, within this chaotic-fast game play, Resident Evil 4 makes inventory more manageable by allowing players to drop items and to purchase needed items. The system for this, which consists of buying items from a merchant, is an element that is not fully contextualized within the game world. However, the Resident Evil games-like classic EC horror comics and George Romero's famous Dead Trilogy-have always blended articulate storylines with a sprinkle of humor or kitsch in order to make each game self-referential. While the merchant himself is an easy and cheap method for allowing players to purchase items, the overall quality of the game shows the contrast between these aspects. In doing so, it highlights the manner in which most games include a variety of cheap and easy aspects.

A PlayStation 2 port of Resident Evil 4 was released in America on October 25, 2005. A handful of critics stated that the PlayStation 2 version's graphics were inferior to those of the GameCube... some felt that the exclusive features made up for these shortcomings.[20]

Resident Evil 4's back story continues the Resident Evil mythos with players playing as Leon Kennedy, in Europe. Leon is a familiar face for Resident Evil fans. He started his first day of work in Raccoon City during the zombie attack in Resident Evil 2. Like his enemies, Leon has an updated look in this game and he's now a government operative instead of a police officer. At the start of the game, the U.S. government has defeated the evil Umbrella Corporation and it seems as though the world is healing its wounds from the zombie outbreaks. However, the President's daughter Ashley has gone missing and Leon has been sent to Spain to search for her.
