RE 4 woops DoC's as*. Period. Just because the game may have more slightly better cinamatics (and it really is close, if you ever played RE4 on the GC then you'd know what I'm talking about) The gameplay is obvioudly way better, no offence to DoC hardcore fans but you have to admite that the gameplay wasnt exactly the funnest. The charicters in both game were good, the only reason that DoC's charicters seem more fleshed out is becuase the backstory streaches back like 3 movies and a game. RE4 only has one charicter that gose back one game, but he still makes a great preformance.

Basicly DoC, good game fans and people going for the story, not necesarly hardcore gameplay.

RE4, great gameplay, great story, is simply better than DoC.
