[edit] Story

The story is the same as in Resident Evil 2 except for a few minor continuity errors.

It follows the scenario Leon A - Claire B where Claire is pursued by T01 and Leon fights William Birkin.

[edit] Differences with Resident Evil 2

The ending is different - in 2, Claire heads off still looking for Chris. However, in City of the Dead, the S.T.A.R.S. Exeter, Maine branch arrive and evacuate the survivors.

Being released before Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, it has some continuity errors with it.

This is the first Resident Evil story to include Marvins' surname, "Branagh." This name is later used in Nemesis.

Instead of starting with the VP-70, Leon begins with the custom Desert Eagle. This was later referenced by the airsoft manufacturer Tokyo Marui, who included a replica of the custom Desert Eagle with the name "Leon" engraved on the grip in their Biohazard line.
