Leon is somewhat evolved from his personality in RE2, and Leon possess sort of a "dorky" and wannabe action hero vibe in this game to me. He's got gum instead of John McClane's smokes; he's got no romantic interest in the ballistics-equipped president's daughter and doesn't get a girl in the end; his one-liners are corny and something a child might come up with. Despite this, Leon possesses the hyper-competent skills of his action hero peers and mows down swarms of enemies. I think future games and movies try too hard to make Leon "cool". He always has to have his cool jacket now, his cool over-the-top action hero moves, a more quiet & cool personality. RE4 is the true Leon, and I think some parts of RE2's characterization carry over and evolve in this game; someone always being swept up in events without much control or authority over other characters but getting through it anyway no matter what.

I could go on and on about Resident Evil 4, as it truly is one of the best designed games of all time. I love to dissect all the tiny details that give RE4 so much character and life. I love analyzing its dichotomy between horror and action. I love looking at its place in the history of survival horror and its place in the Resident Evil series. Even the development of this game is one of the most interesting, as it went through a variety of changes and differences over the course of its long history. Most of all though, it's game I love replaying over and over again, and I still the feel the magic every time.
