Resident Evil 4

Resident Evil 4 sees Leon Kennedy sent to a remote Spanish village to investigate the disappearance of the President's daughter. Combining third-person shooting mechanics with the Resident Evil franchise's iconic brand of survival horror, Resident Evil 4 follows Leon as he uncovers a new dangerous strain of the T-Virus among the local population that proves the Umbrella Corporation's reach and ambition are even greater than anyone would ever have guessed.
