* Hell, the ''entirety'' of [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil4 RE4]] is pretty much one long Moment of Awesome for Leon.

* The ports to multiple platforms, meaning anyone with a console or PC has easy access to the game. From the Playstation 2 version and onward, extras such as new costumes, weapons and Separate Ways campaign were added. The ''Wii Edition'' brings motion controls to the table, and it works amazingly well. The most recent VR version has a feature that no other port does--Leon can now ''dual-wield his combat knife and gun at the same time'', making it a radically different experience.

* To start with, the opening cutscene reveals that the US government finally destroyed Umbrella. How? By taking advantage of their status as a MegaCorp - [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome they put sanctions on Umbrella's business activities and exposed their involvement in the destruction of Raccoon City, causing their stock prices to implode and driving them out of business]]. There were some ''serious'' repercussions for this, but it's still satisfying to see Umbrella finally die.

* Progressing down an advanced hall filled with death lasers all over the place before him, Leon strides through the openings only to find their patterns outright bullrushing him. When that fails, they then try activating over him which he also dodges. And just when you think it's over, the hall has one last rush towards the elevator door you're infront of - which causes Leon to promptly ''run off the elevator door and backflip over the wall of lasers.'' This is pretty much the topping of the BadassNormal cake given the numerous other QuickTimeEvent sequences throughout the game.
