During the T-virus outbreak in Raccoon City, you play as a member of Umbrella’s Security Service. Your squad is sent to destroy evidence and eliminate survivors while government Spec-Ops forces and infected creatures complicate the mission.
The game focuses on third-person shooting: fight through city streets and other locations, take on zombies and Bio-Organic Weapons, and contend with rival soldiers. The campaign supports solo play or co-op for up to four players.
Playable characters gain abilities and skills as they level up. Infection can also change a fight: if it progresses, an infected character can lose control and attack teammates. Separate online modes offer 4v4 competitive matches.
Players who enjoy the game often praise teaming up with friends, revisiting Raccoon City, and experiencing the series from the perspective of Umbrella’s armed squad. Some also remember it fondly as an action-focused change of pace. Others describe rough controls and AI, and many reviews raise problems getting the game running or accessing online play.
