Resident Evil: Dead Aim is a survival-horror game released exclusively for the PlayStation 2 under the Gun Survivor title, which was used for several games made for the Namco light gun controllers. The game is played in two camera angles: the player moves from a third-person perspective while walking, which changes to a first-person perspective while aiming the gun. You'll pick up several guns through the course of the game, including a magnum, a shotgun, and an assault rifle. But like in other Resident Evil games, zombies are difficult to put down permanently and ammo can be very scarce.

The game starts on board the Umbrella-owned ocean liner Spencer Rain, which has been contaminated by the T-Virus stolen from Umbrella's Paris labs by bioterrorist and former employee Morpheus D. Duvall. A US government agent named Bruce McGivern is sent to stop Morpheus from spreading the zombie T-virus any further.
