Resident Evil 4

In the six years since the destruction of Raccoon City, the U.S. government has been able to exterminate the nefarious Umbrella Corporation. Now in 2004, players rejoin Leon S. Kennedy, one of the protagonists of Resident Evil 2, who is now a U.S. agent with a top-secret mission. His investigation into the abduction of the President's daughter has led him to a mysterious location in Spain teeming with unimaginable horrors.

Resident Evil 4 has so many twists and turns, it's difficult to get into the game's storyline without giving too much away. However, one factor that is constant is that you will follow the storyline. Leon isn't allowed to roam freely through the game. Although the game follows a linear path, the difficulty, excitement and intrigue of that path makes it one you want to follow for a long, long time. The game also has several smaller features such as Assignment Ada, a Mercenaries mini-game and the Separate Ways campaign for the PlayStation 2 version.
