Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City
delivers a true third person team based shooter experience set within
the dark and sinister Resident Evil universe and a reinterpretation of
the events depicted in Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3. Zombies and
Bio-Organic Weapons (B.O.W's) add to the mix as players not only compete
against an opposing squad but also tackle this third unpredictable
element, creating a brand new style of gameplay and breaking the
conventions of traditional team based shooters.
It is September 1998 and the
action centers once more on the ill-fated Raccoon City and the horrific
consequences of the deadly T-virus outbreak from the Umbrella facility.
With a cover up required, Umbrella orders an elite team into Raccoon
City to destroy all evidence of the outbreak and eliminate any
survivors. Hearing of this plan, the US Government dispatches its own
special forces to uncover any evidence that exposes the cause of the
viral infection and Umbrella's actions. Players take on the role of an
Umbrella Security Services soldier (U.S.S.), competing alone or in four
player co-op in a battle against all the competing forces at play in
Raccoon City.
