media type="custom" key="3467648" Resident Evil 4 is the fourth game in the Resident Evil video game series. Earlier in the game series, a company named Umbrella Corporation secretly developed a virus that mutates it's victims into zombie-like creatures, and they release it in Raccoon City. Resident Evil 4 takes place in the year 2004. Umbrella Corporation has gone bankrupt because it's secretive activities in Raccoon City become public. The main character, Leon Kennedy, recruited by the Secret Service, is sent to rescue the President's daughter who has been kidnapped by a mysterious cult. He travels to a rural village in Europe, where he bumps into a horde of villagers who are devoted to this cult and have been instructed to eliminate him and anyone else who tries to save the President's daughter, Ashley. Leon discovers later on that they plan to inject Ashley with a mind-controlling parasite so that she can go back to the U.S. to infect government officials. media type="youtube" key="hfTbDeKT-kc" height="385" width="480" The Movie: media type="custom" key="3467680"  In the movie, Resident Evil: Extinction, the virus escapes containment and spreads all over the world. It dried up everything (land, lakes, etc) while infecting both humans and animals. The movie takes place five years after this happens. Alice, the main character whom has superhuman strength and psychic powers which allow her escape enemies and stay safe, is alone in the desert at the beginning of the movie. She ends up finding a group of fellow survivors and they decide to find a way to get to Alaska. They theorize that this is a safe place to go since it is isolated from everywhere else. After this plan is introduced, the remaining survivors go to Las Vegas to get supplies for their trip to Alaska. Meanwhile, Umbrella is developing a new breed of zombie...  media type="youtube" key="PXLjSDIVqqM" height="340" width="560" The Similarities: 1.

The Differences: 1. In Resident Evil 4, the virus hasn't spread throughout the world. 2. The main character in the game doesn't have any supernatural powers. 3. In the game, the enemies are simply injected with a mind-controlling parasite, rather than a virus that makes them zombies.
