INTRODUCTION

Stepping away from its well-trodden path, Capcom’s iconic survival horror franchise, “Resident Evil,” takes a thrilling detour with its spin-off installment – “Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City.” The game, available on platforms such as PC, PS3, and X360, represents a significant transition, as it was shaped in the able hands of Slant Six Games, renowned for their masterly creation of the SOCOM series.

PLOT INTRICACIES

Nestled in the heart of 1998, the game’s action is intrinsically interwoven with the narrative fabric of the second and third iterations of the series. Players find themselves stepping into the shoes of the Umbrella Security Services (USS) agents – a refreshing twist as these are the adversaries of our familiar heroes from Resident Evil 2 and 3: Nemesis. Operation Raccoon City serves up an engaging tripartite conflict, bringing to life a tense standoff between the USS, USA’s special forces, and Umbrella’s terrifyingly bioengineered monsters, of which zombies form a significant horde.

THE NOSTALGIC STORYLINE

Avid fans and neophytes alike can relish the game’s narrative equally, as Operation Raccoon City effortlessly marries new character introductions with nostalgic flashes from the series’ past events. The game cleverly takes us on a tour of familiar locations from the second and third installments and allows for interactions with recognizable characters. Intriguingly, Operation Raccoon City endows players with the power to alter the traditional Resident Evil storyline, fostering a dynamic and interactive gaming experience.

MECHANICAL NUANCES

Significantly deviating from the mechanics of the main series, Operation Raccoon City emerges as a team shooter game. Players are entrusted with the primary task of wiping out the remnants of Umbrella’s t-Virus experiments. During combat, players accumulate experience points that can be harnessed to unlock new abilities and weapons. The USS squad comprises diverse agents, each boasting unique skills and combat styles, presenting a strategic choice for players before every mission.

MULTIPLAYER AND SOLO MODES

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City provides gamers with various playing options. It caters to solo players and facilitates a cooperative mode for up to four players, albeit only online. The game also features captivating multiplayer ways where players can engage in battles with other participants and face the ever-threatening zombies prowling the map. A notable gameplay variant allows players to play as their favorite Resident Evil characters, fending off waves of AI-controlled adversaries.

VISUALS AND COLLECTIBLES

The graphics of Operation Raccoon City warrant a nod of appreciation. Seamlessly harking back to the series’ roots, the game’s atmosphere is deliciously dark and grim, encapsulating the quintessential Resident Evil experience. The title is laden with various collectibles to fuel the gamer’s exploratory spirit further. These treasures reward players with experience points or coveted trophies/achievements, adding another layer of excitement to the game.
