Resident Evil 4 is a horror-themed third-person shooter/action-adventure game published and developed by Capcom. Resident Evil 4 is the sixth installment of the Resident Evil series. It first debuted in North America on January 11, 2005 for the Nintendo GameCube, and was later released in Japan and Europe. On October 25, 2005, the game was ported onto the PlayStation 2 with additional gameplay features, but weaker visuals. A PC port is scheduled to be released in February 2007.
Story
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
In 2004, six years after the events of Resident Evil 2 and 3, the Umbrella Corporation’s fiasco in Raccoon City has become a public affair. Following an investigation conducted by the United States Government, several Umbrella officials are implicated in the heinous wrongdoings, and prosecuted. Ultimately, the Government formally and indefinitely suspends Umbrella’s business practices, causing the company to become bankrupt and dysfunctional.
United States agent Leon Scott Kennedy is sent on a mission to rescue Ashley Graham, the President’s daughter, who has been kidnapped by a mysterious organization. Leon travels to an undisclosed Spanish-speaking village in Europe, where he encounters a horde of unruly villagers who pledge their lives to Los Illuminados, the cult that perpetrated Ashley’s kidnapping.
During the course of the mission, Leon is reunited with Ada Wong, a spy Leon met in Resident Evil 2, and Jack Krauser, one of Leon’s former colleagues. He also meets Luis Sera, a former Los Illuminados’ researcher, who aids Leon on his mission. By examining Sera’s notes, Leon discovers that Los Illuminados gained control of their subjects by implanting a mind controlling parasite known as "Las Plagas" into their bodies.
After Osmund Saddler, the leader of the cult, discovers that Leon rescued Ashley, he commands his subjects to use any means to recover Ashley. A surprise attack by Saddler’s airborne minions leads to Ashley’s recapture, forcing Leon to travel to a military and research complex located on a nearby island. After numerous altercations with Saddler's fiends, Leon is able to successfully rescue Ashley, and defeat Saddler with Ada's assistance.
Leon recovers a sample of Las Plagas from Saddler’s corpse, but Ada forces him to give it to her. She then manages to escape from the complex via a helicopter, and leaves Leon with keys to a jet-ski. At the same time, the whole island is begining to explode and Leon and Ashley has to run to the jet-ski. Although Leon and Ashley manage to escape from the island, the sample's whereabouts and fate remain uncertain.
Gameplay
Resident Evil 4's game mechanics have been completely revamped to incorporate fast-paced gunplay, quick controls and shootouts involving massive crowds of enemies in large open areas. This, combined with an abundance of healing items and ammunition is the polar opposite of previous Resident Evil games. Previous titles in the series have focused on exploration and attempted to instill a sense of fear via small amounts of ammunition and healing items and deadly enemies in small, tight spaces. The player can fire more ammunition and kill more and more enemies in one playthrough of this game than in all of the other games in the franchise combined (not including the Gun Survivor sub-franchise, in which the player is deliberately given infinite pistol ammo) - a typical playthrough can result in the player killing hundreds of enemies.
Exclusive features
To compensate for the late release, Capcom has added new content made specifically for the PlayStation 2 release.
* Separate Ways, a five chapter mini-game which revolves around Ada Wong’s involvement in the Resident Evil 4. During the mini-game, the player can use a pump-action shotgun and a bowgun with explosive arrows, two exclusive weapons.
* Ada's Report, a five-part documentary, which analyzes Ada’s relationship with a particular character and their role in the plot. One unlocks portions of the documentary as they progress through the Separate Ways mini-game.
* New costume set, which portrays Leon as a 1930s Mobster, and puts Ashley in an indestructible suit of armor. Leon’s Chicago Typewriter also has a drum magazine as opposed to the regular box magazine.
* P.R.L. 412 (Plaga Removal Laser), a laser gun which can be used to instantly destroy enemies. Unlocked by beating the "Professional" difficulty setting.
* Movie Browser, a feature that allows the player to view cut scenes from the both Separate Ways and the actual game. The feature is unlocked after a player beats the game.
* “Amateur” mode, an easier difficulty setting which is exclusive to the Japanese version
* The PlayStation 2 version also offers support for widescreen televisions.
