The two make a good team, and many of the most challenging situations in the game are best overcome with teamwork. He is accompanied by a skilled mercenary named Sheva Alomar. The game is set about a ten years after the events of the original Resident Evil, and features the original game's character Chris Redfield in the lead role. The story takes place in Africa, in the fictional desert country of Kijuju.

The game presents its horrors in high-definition, built on a custom-enhanced version of Capcom's MT Framework game engine, and PC gamers can experience stereoscopic 3D effects (with the proper eyewear). Creepy settings, un-human enemies, and keen pacing create experiences of tense exploration, startling surprise, and overwhelmingly outnumbered desperation. Accessible aiming controls and fluid graphics make for quick, intuitive weapon use.

As in the acclaimed Resident Evil 4, an up-close, over-the-shoulder perspective allows players to see the heroes in action.
