It's Like Playing The Same Game

Tell me if you know what game this is:

-The male protagonist goes on a mission that seems simple
-The protagonist is a hero
-The shooting style is over the shoulder aimed with a laser on gun
-Until his comrades die
-The enemies are like superfied zombies that attack using weapons like knives
-He rescues a woman who he has to protect with his life
-The woman companion is useless when it comes to fighting
-The protagonist realizes that the humans are being controlled by parasites
-If you shoot the parasite host in the head, their head explores and the parasite is released from their head ready to attack the protagonist
-There is quick time events and buttons that can be pressed to attack the enemy a certain way
-While unconscious the protagonist becomes infected by a parasite, and has a parasite in his body
-Hardly anyone speaks English
-At the end the place blows up

If you answered Resident Evil 4, you are wrong.

This is actually Cold Fear, a game that has a lot of style of Resident Evil 4. Everything from the camera angles of shooting to quick time events. But unlike other quick time events, these will actually drain your Resistance. Resistance is your stamina that makes you run and fight back, once that is drain Hanson will run slow and wont be able to fight back if he gets attacked.

The story is about Tom Hanson a washed up hero who sets out to look for clues of what happened on a Russian boat. While there he meets creatures that have been turned into monsters thanks to parasites in their bodies. Hanson meets Anna who is the father of the murderous creatures running around, after fighting some Russians, Super Zombie guys, and bosses. You fight Anna's father, who also turned into a monster. Anna sets explosives to blow up Papa, Tom and Anna escape with a helicopter. While Anna mourns over the lost of her father, Tom can't help but be cocky and mock the fact that her father is dead. What an asshole.

I finally defeated this game, I had it sine it first came out but I was still shaky with Third-Person shooters back then. It was an okay game, really short though.
