Description
Picking up six years after
Resident Evil 2, the fourth game in
the series follows former cop (now US agent) Leon S. Kennedy to Europe on a top-secret mission to investigate the disappearance of the President's daughter Ashley. As Leon encounters unimaginable horrors, he must find out who or what is behind everything. Old friends...and enemies...lurk around every corner, as Leon attempts to find out who is truly behind the kid-napping of the president's daughter.
Resident Evil 4 is a major change from the previous installments. Instead of a fixed third person perspective, RE4 features a new "behind the back" movement camera angle and an "over the shoulder" aiming feature that allows players to control their gun movement for specific body part hits. It features a brand new AI system and more open environments that allow enemies to work together to capture and corner Leon. The enemies are now humans, which allows them to climb up ladders, open doors, and use weapons throughout the game. Besides this, the game has revamped its entire item system so that smaller items no longer require an entire item space to hold. Instead, items take up blocks of space in a briefcase according to their real life size, to allow for many more items and weapons. As well, Leon can collect treasure from enemies or from the surrounding area, and visit the infamous "merchant" to purchase bigger briefcases, treasure maps, weapons upgrades, and powerful weapons such as the one-shot RPG.
The game also includes a mode called
Separate Ways similar to
Resident Evil 2's game A/B system, where you must play the game through the eyes of Ada Wong. As well, there is
The Mercenaries from
Resident Evil 3, which allows you to play survival scenarios as character such as Hunk and even Albert Wesker himself.

Trivia
For the Windows version, when you are presented with the game's main menu you will see that the background is slowly crawling. Press left or right on the analog stick controlling the camera and the background will scroll faster in a panorama like fashion, left or right depending on the direction of the stick.
