Resident Evil Code: Veronica is the fourth video game in Capcom's Resident Evil survival horror series. The game continues the survival horror gameplay of its predecessors: the protagonist explores the surroundings fighting monsters and solving puzzles. However it is the first game in the series to do away with pre-rendered backgrounds using a fully polygonal 3D engine instead which allows for features such as real-time lighting and camera movement. Still such movements are only used sparingly and the use of perspective is mostly unchanged from earlier installments: the camera automatically switches to different static angles showing protagonists monsters and rooms from different spooky viewpoints.
