been performed to bring this revered title to the highest graphical quality
ever. Fully optimized for the wide screen, texts have been sharpened and

In Resident Evil 4, special agent Leon S. Kennedy is sent on a
mission to rescue the U.S. President’s daughter who has been kidnapped. Finding
his way to a rural village in Europe, he faces new threats that are a departure
from the traditional lumbering zombie enemies of the earlier installments in the
series. Leon battles horrific new creatures infested by a new threat called Las
Plagas and faces off against an aggressive group of enemies including
mind-controlled villagers that are tied to Los Illuminados, the mysterious cult
which is behind the abduction.
