When I first heard about Operation Raccoon City, I initially dismissed it as a wannabe Left 4 Dead. I now think that would be a great disservice to the game. Let's dive in and find out what makes this game interesting.

The Resident Evil franchise has had a lot of spinoffs; from games like the Outbreak and The Umbrella Chronicles, Capcom has certainly dipped their toes into a few different genres. Operation Raccoon City dives into the co-op third person shooter game, and does it with aplomb.
I mentioned my comparison to Left 4 Dead, and like that game you have four players taking on lots of zombies. Where this game differs is where it gets interesting. For starters, you choose a character that has specific talents and perks. You'll have classes like Spec-Ops and medics. The medic can do things like heal and manipulate the T-Virus, temporarily controlling some of the infected creatures. While the more combat oriented characters have various means of dispatching enemies.

Unlike previous Resident Evil games, you'll have to deal with possible infection, you can slow the infection by taking anti-virals. Of course, if you want to eat your friends, I guess you can skip that.
Enemies range from your basic RE zombie, but you'll also be fighting Raccoon City Police, US Special Forces and B.O.W.s. Your primary mission in Raccoon City is to eliminate any witnessness, witnesses such as Leon Kennedy and Clair Redfield.

The game will also feature competitive multiplayer, with players squaring off as members of the Umbrella Security Service, US Special Forces and the Bio Organic Weapons.
Operation Raccoon City is scheduled to release in Q4 of this year. It looks to be an interesting and fun addition to the Resident Evil franchise. I am looking forward to playing it soon.
