Co-founder of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance, he has just been dispatched to a remote desert village called Kijuju, where he meets a local BSAA agent named Sheva Alomar. She is to help him catch a known terrorist who is trying to sell a bio-organic weapon on the black market. It is soon discovered that something seriously wrong is happening to the people of Kijuju… Chris and Sheva must work together and search out the cause of the strange happenings, the very source of the BOW threat. Welcome to Africa.
 

This seventh game in the series seems to be even more action-oriented than RE4, the first to take a radical turn from the classic survival horror style of gameplay. In RE5, puzzles take a backseat to large-scale battles against many infected, and one stage is set entirely on rails behind a mounted machinegun. Additionally, a cover system has been implemented to facilitate combat with enemies that shoot back at you. More guns, more thrills, but will it still give you the chills?
