The story starts in The House of the Dead: Overkill
In 1947 during the cold war the US military created a formula name "Formula X" it's purpose it's to turn a subject into a superhuman but failed it remains hidden in a bunker where it was never found. In 1991 seven years before the Curien Mansion incident, AMS Agent G has given his first assignment and was sent to a small town in Louisiana to investigate the disappearance of capture and arrest criminal lord Papa Ceaser, after sighting numerous mutants he is force to team up with foul mouth Detective Isaac Washington as he attempts to kill Ceaser to avenge his father. After fighting their way into Caesar's plantation house, they overhear a conversation between Caesar and Jasper Guns, a crippled brother who is working with Caesar to protect his sister. Jasper injects himself with the mutant compound after Caesar threatenes his sister. However, Caesar escapes, and G and Washington are confronted with the mutated Jasper. After defeating Jasper in a fight, he askes G to tell his sister "I love her". G then puts Jasper out of his misery, right when Jasper's sister, Varla Guns, Bayou City's local stripper, appears. G and Washington left the plantation, while Varla laments the loss of her brother.
Using Jasper's wheelchair as transport, Varla drives to the Pink Pussycat stripclub to gear up for revenge. She learns from fellow stripper Candi Stryper, that Varla's bike has been taken.
The conversation Caesar had with Jasper mentioned a local hospital, which is where G and Washington decide to go next. Arriving at the hospital, they find the building overrun with the mutants. Fighting their way nside, they notice a woman crying in an operating theatre. While intending to help her, they realize that she is a mutant, in-game called the Screamer. The pair defeat her in the resulting battle, and hear a phone ringing. The phone is inside the Screamer. G retrieves the phone, which is meant for Washington. It is none other than Caesar, who, outside the hospital, attempts to kill them by detonating the building. The duo exit the hospital, and are saved by Varla Guns and her motorcycle.
Varla abandonds the pair at a local carnival after a discussion, and they find the carnival filled with the mutants. Shooting their way further into the carnival, thay enter the "feak house", and are confronted with the mutants Nigel and Sebastian. The two fight and defeat the fused mutants, although, thay are still stuck in the carnival with no ride. G comandeers a nearby ice cream truck, and the duo leave the carnival.
Varla continues to go after Caesar when she notices Candi hitch hiking. The girls traveling through a strip club and a meat packing plant, fighting grotesque mutant strippers Coco and Sindy, as well as Meat Katie, a Minotaur like like female butcher. After the battle, Candi dies from blood loss after her arm is cut off.
G and Washington arrive at the train station, where they find Varla holding Caesar at gunpoint. The trio couldn't decide on Caesar's fate, giving Caesar the opportunity to escape once again. G and Washington give chase, leaving Varla behind. Climbing on the back of the train, the pair force their way to the front of the mutant-infested train, where Caesar is. They are sidetracked, however, by a heavily mutated creature known as the Crawler. After killing the creature, they arrive at the front of the train, only for the train to de-rail. Gand Washington jump off before the train crashes.
The pair find themselves in a swamp. Varla arrives to help them, but Caesar takes her hostage, and orders her to drive off to the local prison but not before throwing Washington a tape. G and Washington give chase through the swamps. The swamps are inhabited by mutants, and the pair must fight their way through to reach the prison. They encounter a monstrocity called the Lobber, but he is quickly defeated by them. G's orders were originally to arrest Papa Caesar, but after fighting with Washington for so long, he won't deny Washington of his revenge.
G and Washington arrive outside the prison, where they find a man exiting a police car. He introduces himself as the warden of the prison, Clement Darling. He came to his prison because he "had a call, in the middle of the night". As G and Washington enter the prison, they find out why: the prison has been taken over by the mutants. The pair fight their way to Clement's office, only to see Caesar and Varla running into a different building, several stories below them. Finally arriving at the execution area, the find Clement with Varla and Caesar strapped in the electric chairs. After a brief debate, in which he introduces his Mother, Clement executes Caesar, and leaves with Varla and Mother. He does leave a parting gift: two criminals he's "been tinkering with". However, one kills the other, and then the now-mutated criminal, named Brutus, and he engages in a fight with G and Washington. They defeat him in the fight, and they chase Clement underground.
The U.S. Army originally made the mutant compound during the Cold War in order to make the ultimate super soldier. The project obviously failed. The bunker the compound was made in lies directly under Clement's prison. Access is available only through elevators, which is how G and Washington access it in the first place. Entering the bunker, the duo fight their way deeper into the bunker, where they find Varla, looking unharmed. She hits on the pair, until Clement appears. She orders him back to his room, and the duo discover Varla's brain exposed. Clement explains that Varla's real brain is in a jar he holds, while the one in Varla's head is his mother's brain. G and Washington prepare to kill her, but Mother exhibits telekenetik powers, like Jasper. She starts mutating, but G and Washington shoot her off the balcony. She falls, but her mutation is complete, and she grows to monumental proportions. G and Washington load their assault rifles, and jumped over the edge as they tumbled into a facility below the prison as they entered the armory they obtained the miniguns and began to attack mother at the first attempt. On the surface, discussing what they will do now that the affair is over. However, Mother reappears, very much alive. G and Washington prepare their miniguns they found "lying around the armory", and both take down the monstrocity. Clement appears, claiming he "can't go on" without his mother. Just as the pair are about to kill him, he stops them, holding a "dead man's switch". If he dies, the bunker under the prison will be destroyed. He gives them the switch, and "returns to the womb". G and Washington discuss the irony of Washington's vocabulary in the affair. A helicopter arrives, and airlifts G and Washington out of the prison. Washington "chucks the switch out the window and the prison is destroyed. Washington comments on G's soon-to-be-filed report as a mysogonistic recap of the affairs. Washington orders the pilot to take him to Las Vegas but the pilot is a mutant. G and Washington shoot it.
The tape given to Washington by Caesar plays after the credits. It says that Clement's ambitions with the mutant compound were "small-minded", but he had friends, "powerful friends, (possibly Dr. Roy Curien Galeb Goldman and The Mystery man) and they have had access to the compound for some time". He told him Washington that so that he can warn his loved ones while there's time. Caesar finally reveals that Washington's father is still alive, and laughs as the tape ends.

Two years passed since...
February 20th, 2000
Two years after the Curien Mansion incident an unknown terror attack has been taking place in Venice Italy, the last known location of AMS agent G, who has gone missing. Agents James Taylor and Gary Stewart were dispatched, along with Amy Crystal and Harry Harris, to investigate and evacuate the populace. After upon finding G alive but wounded, James and Gary conversed with him and G gave them a field journal detailing the bosses weak points. The pair were then met with a massive undead horde, similar to the kind from the Curien Mansion incident. During the hellish nightmare James and Gary faced Judgment, consisting of the imp-like Zeal and his giant, headless, axe-wielding armored puppet Kuarl. After defeating them, the agents meet up with Amy and Harry, who split up and try to meet at Sunset Bridge (or the wharf). Upon getting there James and Gary face off with The Hierophant, an aquatic fish-like humanoid which headed an assault on Venice's waterways and Central Plaza. Upon defeating it, James, Gary, Amy and Harry got on a boat and continued through the rivers.
The agents learned the zombies were created by Caleb Goldman, the man who funded Dr. Curien in making his creations during the Curien Mansion incident and also one of Clement's friends. It was also revealed that Goldman created the new zombies and released them into the city. Goldman left a message on Amy's phone, inviting them to meet him at the Colosseum. Although fearing it's a trap, the group continued on. James and Gary split up again, and faced off with segmented serpents known as The Tower. After the fight, they received a desperate call from Amy, which was soon cut off. James and Gary headed to the Colosseum only to be taunted by Goldman, who proceeded to reveal a cage containing Amy and a wounded Harry, the perpetrator being Strength, a giant, chainsaw-wielding zombie which upon its release chased James and Gary throughout the Roman Colosseum. After they killed it, James and Gary spoke with their fellow agents, who gave them the coordinates for a car they could use to get to Goldman's tower.
After driving over to Goldman's tower they were confronted by Curien's masterpiece, The Magician, who was resurrected by Goldman to oversee the birth of The Emperor. The agents then destroyed the Magician, filled with the resolve to continue on and let mankind control its own fate,
The agents then entered Goldman's tower, feeling as if they were being invited in by Goldman. After fighting off Goldman's cybernetic guards they confronted the man himself, who explained to the agents that he intended to undo the sins that mankind had committed towards nature and that 'Pandora's Box was opening'. After his rant he unveiled the Emporer, a shape shifting being designed to rule over nature and "destroy and hate mankind". In its prototype stage, the Emperor was not as strong as Goldman had hoped, and was destroyed by the AMS agents. In order to evade being arrested, Goldman commits suicide by throwing himself off the roof of his building. James and Gary then into Thomas Rogan, who tells them that G and Harry were all right, and that they should head off to their next battle "for as long as they have the will to live" (in the case of James) or "for as long as there is an answer" (in the case of Gary).

A large number of world leaders call upon AMS to deal with the bizarre incidents. Sooner or later AMS will be overwhelmed by a large number of Undead outbreaks that had been occurring simultaneously throughout the globe and since AMS were unable to contain these new horrific Undead outbreaks, a worldwide panic occurs as panicked civilians/survivors fight desperately for survival.
2003
Three years after the Venice Italy incident former AMS agent James Taylor and new agent Kate Green are gathering intelligence at the fifth floor of the AMS European branch office. James still has the events of the 2000 "Goldman Case" on his mind, and believes that the ordeal has not yet ended. A sudden earthquake rocks the room while they talk, collapsing the building and leaving the agents trapped.
Several days later, as the two await a rescue team, James' PDA goes off, and a group of undead are seen on the security cameras. Realizing that they are in danger, James has Kate gather all the weaponry they can find to defend themselves. Soon after, the two travel through the sewers to an information room where they uncover a plot to fire nuclear missiles worldwide within 24 hours' time, facing the four armed giant zombie Justice and a pair of mutant tarantulas known as The Lovers along the way. Taking the subway into zombie-infested streets from an underground shopping district, the agents narrowly avoid attacks by The Empress, a double-ended chainsaw-wielding assassin, and the massive, obese, and nearly impervious Temperance.
James and Kate then learn that the late one-time CEO of the now-defunct DBR Corporation, Goldman, is responsible for the resurgence of undead. Upon reaching the surface, they find the city completely obliterated. Goldman sends them a PDA message indicating that the launch will occur in one hour. The agents reach the abandoned Goldman Building but upon entering the main foyer, a levitating humanoid named The Star, prevents their advance. After the Star is defeated, the duo continue onward. Ultimately, they arrive in time to halt Goldman's plans, though it is revealed that his true intention is to revert humankind to its original state in order to prevent them from harming the planet further. As such, his final legacy, The World, an insect-like humanoid with powers over ice, is released in the opening of "Pandora's Box" to fulfill its role as the successor to his original Emperor project in 2000, having developed underground since his death. As the AMS agents fight it, the World continuously evolves to become larger and more powerful. Following the World's second defeat, James sets his PDA to self-destruct and, telling Kate not to give up hope, sacrifices himself to destroy the World in the ensuing explosion.
Years later G revisited the site where The World was destroyed and spoke aloud his plans to fight the undead back to their source, then telling his fallen comerade to rest, his back facing Goldman's tower.
After losing contact from James due to him sacrificing himself to defeat The World, Kate is alone at first while wondering in the zombie filled city, she then teams up with G, he informs Kate that the battle isn't over yet they began battling the horde and once again battling Justice after defeating Justice and made their way to an unnamed location they encountered The Magician Dr Roy Curiens creation, they succesfully defeated him after his last message "Nothing can erase my pain" then explodes.
