Resident Evil Zero is a new prequel in the award-winning survival horror series, exclusively for GameCube. The adventure takes place in the familiar small town of Raccoon City, and leads up to the story of Resident Evil 1. By featuring two main characters--Rebecca, a rookie Raccoon City Police Officer and Billy, a framed convict on the run, the game utilizes a new Partner Zapping System, allowing players to follow the adventure of both characters. Several reported incidences of people being eaten by a strange creature have surfaced. The Raccoon city police deem the grisly murders as top priority and send in a special task force, the S.T.A.R.S. Bravo team, to investigate. On the way to the scene, Bravo's helicopter crashes. Although everyone survives, the team discovers a gruesome site--an overturned transport military truck with corpses of navy officers. Players will embark on an investigation that is the beginning of a horrific nightmare. Not Final Cover.
