No more rotting, plodding zombies; say hello to heart-ripping, insectoid cult members

Instead of the typical, sluggish RE control and robotic movements, you perform quick, context-specific actions. It may be opening a door, jumping out a second story window or kicking the head off a raucous villager. The up-tempo gameplay also makes for nail biting boss fights that range from giant mutant fish to a pair of rejects from a Lord of the Rings cave troll audition. Every single boss you face will make you question Leon's sanity. Anyone else would say, "Screw the President," and call it a day.
Even the cutscenes, normally a time to catch your breath and watch the story unfold, are intense. If you set the controller down you may miss input cues that directly affect Leon. There’s even a surprise boss encounter that plays out with nothing but these types of button commands. It's a very hands-off way of orchestrating a fight, yet it still manages to be one of the most memorable scraps in gaming.
