The Resident Evil franchise branches out into the military shooter genre today. Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City is a squad-based third-person shooter which focuses on the events of Resident Evil 2 and 3. Players will not be taking on the rolls of heroic S.T.A.R.S agents in this adventure. Instead you'll be acting on behalf of Umbrella, the misunderstood global conglomerate whose products just so happen to cause zombie apocalypses and some mild to severe monsterism.
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City launches today, March 20th, for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. We should have our Co-Op review up by Monday, March 26th.
