Resident Evil 4 is a single player adventure game taking place in a rural area in Europe. The player plays as Leon Kennedy (a character from previous games). Leon now works for a special government agency. His job is to find the presidents daught Ashley Graham and return her safely to her father. Players shortly learn that not all is what it seems and the hostile locals are more than just human.

The player must accomplish tasks and destroy enemies to escape from locations to save Ashley and keep Leon alive. Players gather weapons, ammunition, health supplies and other items to aid in Leon's mission. Health is taken away by being hit by an enemy, and health is restored through herbs and first aid sprays. Money is used to purchase supplies from a traveling merchant. The inventory in the game is setup in a grid patern and players must fit all items in the grid in order to carry the supplies. At times the challenge of the game out ways the ability of the player and this causes a high level of frustration, very infrequently the ability of the player outways the challenge of the game. The game includes mini goals but the overall objective of the game is to rescue Ashley and escape from the captors.
