Resident Evil 2 (1998) (1998)
Resident Evil 2 (1998) is a 1998 action video game made by Capcom.
Raccoon City is already gone by the time Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield arrive. A mutagenic virus has turned the population into something ravenous, and the Raccoon City Police Department, which Leon was meant to report to for his first day on the job, is now a maze of locked doors and groaning corridors. The game runs two separate campaigns that intersect in ways that reward replaying both. Leon and Claire face different threats, carry different weapons, and experience the same city from different angles, doubling the dread.
