The story begins as Michael LeRoi resurrects from "Deadside" to "Liveside" in order to contact Jaunty, a human-headed snake and a close associate of Mama Nettie. Unfortunately, after LeRoi finds and returns Jaunty to Mama Nettie, he is cursed with a powerful spell. Upon completion of his second task and after another encounter with Mama Nettie, LeRoi receives a note from a man named Thomas Deacon whom he goes about in search of, after which LeRoi learns of Asmodeus and the Grigori, as well as their plan to cause Armageddon. It is once again up to Michael, the Shadow Man, to save the world.

|Comments=Finally playable after years of bad textures (CDVD Bug) and SPS (VIF Stalls). 100% completion: all items, all cadeaux, all cutscenes, demo mode and credits watched. Bugs: SPS are fixed with Automatic Gamefixes. Game will freeze often after you unlock the last levels and will always freeze in a specific cutscene (before the Isle of the Dead boss). Enable the EE Timing Hack to avoid freezing and increase game stability. Don't enable MTVU with this game or characters models will break.

Alternatively you can fix textures by patching game image directly in hex editor. Code for SLUS (US) version of game, but should be the same for others.
