The people of the city are effected by a virus, turning them into flesh-eating zombies. The two main characters are the rookie cop Leon S. Kennedy, and sister of the first game's main character Chris Redfield, Claire Redfield.
Every single character is really cool.
Claire is no average wussy chick wearing skin tight leather and screaming for help. Both characters pack on the weaponry. This game isn't for everybody. It's pretty bloody. A couple days isn't enough for me.
