Story
The game follows the fictional events of February 26, 2000, fourteen months after the 1998 Curien Mansion incident in The House of the Dead. AMS agent G has disappeared and his last known location is Venice, Italy. The city of Venice is thrown into chaos when a strange zombie outbreak occurs. American AMS agents James Taylor and Gary Stewart, along with Amy Crystal and Harry Harris, are sent out to investigate and evacuate the population. Suddenly, they encounter the mischievous Zeal, who recently had dealings with G. When James and Gary find G. alive but wounded, they have a talk with him and G. gives them a field diary that lists bosses and weak points. Then the two encounter a huge horde of undead, similar to the Curien Mansion incident. They continue on their way, trying to save the civilians of the city from the zombies.
