A description of Resident Evil 4 from the PlayStation Store:
Six years have passed since the biological disaster in Raccoon City. Leon S. Kennedy (Resident Evil 2), one of the survivors of the incident, has been recruited as an agent reporting directly to the president.
With the experience of multiple missions on his back, Leon is sent to rescue the kidnapped daughter of the president of the United States. He tracks her to a secluded European village, where there is something terribly wrong with the villagers. The curtain rises on a gruelling story of survival, horror and rescue.
