Resident Evil: Survivor 2 －Code: Veronica－ ('Gun Survivor 2: Biohazard Code: Verionica' in Japan) is a light gun game by Capcom developed in conjunction with Namco exclusive to PAL regions and Japan. The game features characters and stages taken directly from Resident Evil Code: Veronica, although the game has no bearing on the Resident Evil plot. The game also features the return of the Nemesis, who appears on the map to chase the player if time is running out, a thinly disguised arcade mechanism to prevent players from staying on the machine too long.

[edit] Story

Claire Redfield is continuing to look for her brother after the Raccoon City incident and she was tipped by an unknown source about an Umbrella facility in Paris. When she tried to infiltrate the facility, she was caught, after which she was taken to the Umbrella prison in Rockfort Island. She meets up with another prisoner, Steve Burnside, and plans to escape while an outbreak of the T-virus is released onto the island.

This game's events are actually a dream which Claire is having after escaping Rockfort Island with Steve before the second half of Code: Veronica, and as such has no connection to the main series' storyline one way or the other.

[edit] About The Game

Players have the option of choosing between either Claire Redfield or Steve Burnside and two-player cooperative play is possible. Gameplay is closer to that of a stardard first person shooter than the original Gun Survivor game, as instead of a manual crosshair the game uses a fixed crosshair that remains at the center of the screen.

The Arcade version of the game has a somewhat unusual layout. Instead of a wieldable lightgun like those used in House of the Dead or Time Crisis, the game uses a fixed mounted machine gun that serves as a joystick to move the player and rotate his or her view, as well as to fire the player's onscreen weapons. The game runs on a timer that counts down when an area is entered, and if time runs out, the Nemesis from Resident Evil 3: Nemesis will start pursuing the player and make quick work of the characters if they don't hurry to the exit.

Originally planned for release under the title of Biohazard: Fire Zone, the game was renamed in order to tie it with the similar-playing (but otherwise unrelated) Resident Evil: Survivor.
