Product Description
-------------------
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, a collaboration between
Capcom and Vancouver based studio Slant 6 Games, is scheduled for
release this Winter. This latest offering will take the series in
a completely new direction and offer a style of gameplay yet to
be seen from the franchise. Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City
delivers a true third person team based shooter experience set
within the dark and sinister Resident Evil universe. The setting
of the Resident Evil universe not only provides a rich backdrop
to the action but delivers a unique and thrilling triple threat
battle. Zombies and Bio- Weapons (B.O.W's) add to the mix
as players not only compete against their team's sing squad
but also tackle this third unpredictable element that could only
exist in the twisted Resident Evil universe, creating a brand new
style of gameplay and breaking the conventions of traditional
team based shooters. It is September 1998 and the action centers
on the ill-ed Raccoon City and the horrific consequences of
the deadly T-virus outbreak. With a cover up required, Umbrella
orders an elite team into Raccoon City to destroy all evidence of
the outbreak and eliminate any survivors. Meanwhile the US
Government has quarantined the city and dispatched its own team
of elite soldiers to determine the source of the mysterious
outbreak. Players take on the role of an Umbrella Security
Service soldier (U.S.S.), competing alone or in up to four player
co-op in a battle against all the competing forces at play in
Raccoon City.

Story

It is September 1998 and the action centers on the ill-ed
Raccoon City. When the Umbrella Corporation learns that one of
its top scientists, Dr. William Birkin, plans to sell the
experimental G-Virus to the US Government they order an elite
team of Umbrella Security Service (U.S.S.) Soldiers led by Hunk
into their secret research facility to secure the only known
sample of the virus. The operation takes a turn for the worse
when Dr. Birkin injects himself with the last vial, mutating into
a deadly creature, G-Birkin and over powering the team. During
the battle the deadly T-Virus is leaked into the sewers and
spread through Raccoon City, infecting the entire population.
Hearing of the outbreak, the U.S.S. Team is given fresh orders
to destroy all evidence of Umbrella's involvement and silence
anyone that might discover the truth. The Umbrella Biohazard

contain the situation. Meanwhile the US Government has
quarantined the city and dispatched its own team of special
operatives to determine the source of the mysterious outbreak.
