Resident Evil: City of the Dead is a novelization of the horror video game Resident Evil 2 written by author S. D. Perry, as the third book in her series of Resident Evil novels. It is based on the LeonA\ClaireB scenerios. The narrative follows Leon S. Kennedy fighting the mutated William Birkin for most of the story, while Claire Redfield fights the Tyrant. The book downplays most of the puzzle-solving elements from the game and focuses more on the interaction between the characters. There are also added scenes in the book involving the supporting characters such as Ada Wong, Annette Birkin and Chief Irons. The ending is slightly altered, in which the survivors of S.T.A.R.S. Exeter, characters featured in Caliban Cove, pick up Leon, Claire, and Sherry, as opposed to the "walk into the sunrise" scenario. City of the Dead was written before the release of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis and as a result has contradictions. less
