'''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.
