After Resident Evil 1.5 this one was the real RE2. You can choose between Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield as main character. And, by the way, lots of people still think, that RE2 is the best Resident Evil.

Story
Imagine a typical Midwestern US town built at the base of a vast forest. Business thrived here, especially with the advent of several new industries. Heck, you couldn't find a more peaceful wilderness getaway than Raccoon City. And then the trouble began, and it leads back to when the Umbrella Corporation arrived. Rumors began to spread, and the town was overcome with odd occurrences. Unidentifiable creatures appeared out of nowhere, and mysterious deaths happened at an alarming rate. Word got out about a severe accident at a mountain lab. No one knew what was happening to the quaint town. The Raccoon City Police Department, in an effort to calm the growing fear among locals, recruited several new officers. Leon S. Kennedy is one of the promising recruits. As Leon prepares to join his new unit, he attempts, without luck, to contact the captain who hired him. Unfazed, he continues into Raccoon City to begin his new job. On the other side of town, a distraught Claire Redfield searches for her missing brother Chris. Claire begins her search in Raccoon City, the last known location of her brother nearly two months ago, only to learn about the "accident" in the forest. Is Chris still in Raccoon City? Neither Leon nor Claire is aware of the overwhelming world of horror and despair they are about to enter....
