everything
Slightly bad:
Leon takes up a lot of the screen
This game is teh roxor. I've been walking through an off track pathway shooting out angry french people's kneecaps so they go down quicker. No more sissy auto aim. Then as they collapse to their knees I run up and round house kick them across the face.
Then I arrived at the village, got mobbed by villagers with pitchforks and scythes. My clip ran out and there was no time to reload (you can't do that inventory reload 'cheat' now either) so I ran across the village and headed into a house and barricaded the door. Cue loony paper bag man appearing and waving a chainsaw around, other villagers bring ladders and set them up to the upstairs window.
I ponce around looking for items and chainsaw man cuts through my wooden barricade, narrowly avoiding him I run up stairs and grab a shotgun off the wall. Seeing villagers climbing the ladder and starting to get in the room I realised I'm trapped, so I run into a corner between the bed where they can't get behind me and pull out the shotgun.
Unfortunatly I was a bit too slow and chainsaw man promptly decapitates me, blood gushes everywhere and 'You Are Dead' appears on the screen.
You want this game.
Also of note, walking into a shack to find a woman pinned a few feet off the ground by means of a pitchfork through the face, "No sex discrimination here" says Leon..

It happens on normal.
There's quite a few changes from Easy to Normal though, the hedge maze is cut out, the bit where you have to fight the suits of armour is skipped and for some reason you don't have to shoot those chunks of wood in the clock's machinery to turn the bridge round.
Been playing it through again and I'm still amazed at how good it is.. Lots of little touches like what happens if you shoot the water too many times standing on the jetty before the Del Lago fight, and randomly after making the giant fall into the lava pit by opening the trapdoor, me thinking everything was safe and then walking off to see it jump out and grab me..

Hmm cant remember ever having that happen on normal. But I have the US version. So it might be special :P

Well yeh, you know what's coming up next and have your tactics for what enemies to kill with what gun etc. But the difficulty is ramped up if you're on Pro and it's just a joy to play through again anyway.
