3/4

The story of Resident Evil 4follows the U.S. government special agentLeon S. Kennedy,who is sent on

a mission to rescue Ashley Graham, the U.S. President's daughter who has been kidnapped by a sinister

cult. Traveling to a remote rural area of Europe, Leon fights hordes of violent villagers and mutated

monsters, and reunites with the mysterious spyAda Wong.The game pioneered and popularized the

"over the shoulder"third-person viewperspective in video games.

First hinted at in early December 1999, Resident Evil 4underwent a long development time during which

four proposed versions of the game were discarded. Initially developed for thePlayStation 2,the first

attempt was directed by Hideki Kamiya after producer Shinji Mikami requested him to create a new entry

in the Resident Evilseries. Nevertheless, it was decided to start development over again. The game was

intended to be a GameCube exclusive as part of theCapcom Five,but a PlayStation 2 version was

announced before the game was released for the GameCube. Resident Evil 4was subsequently

released forMicrosoft Windows,Wii,PlayStation 3,Xbox 360,and in heavily condensed versions for

theiOS,mobile phones andZeebo.

Resident Evil 4garnered universal critical acclaim. It was considered by most critics as a top contender

for2005'sGame of the Year,and was seen as a successfulcross-platformhit that highly influenced the

evolution of thethird-person shootergenre.
