If you like drive-in horrors...
- Pros: This is a very entertaining game. Not very long, but has 2 modes to play through. Alot of fun if you enjoy drive-in horror. :-D
- Cons: No naked woman.
- Other Thoughts: As mentioned above it needed naked woman. This is a must in drive in horror films
cheap
- Pros: Cheap game and decent can't complain
- Cons: none
Raining F-Bombs
- Pros: The graphics - they are not on par with 360 or PS3, but House of the Dead was never about cutting edge graphics in my opinion. It is about achieving a look. And this might be the first House of the Dead to nail the campy, over the top b-movie style so well on purpose.
The Sound - Decent sound effects. Hilarious, inappropriate, and downright indecent dialog. FANTASTIC voice overs. And a soundtrack as bizarre and disturbing as many of the visuals in the game.
The Gameplay - Its a rail shooter. It doesn't have the clearly diverging paths that past HOTD games had, but I haven't missed that so far (although I was expecting I would). Taking out the mutants feels very rewarding. The locations are emersive and the mutants in them fit well. Hunting for golden brains, causing slowdowns so you can take your time getting headshots, all very entertaining. There is a simple but fun weapon purchasing/upgrading system.
- Cons: The framerate - In one player mode I don't have too many slowdown issues, but in two player mode I frequently feel a stutter. It seems like there is a short pause when its loading new zombies to throw at you. It is noticeable and it is annoying. The rest of the game makes me so happy that I still gave it 4 eggs, but that stutter really brings it down a lot.
It is dark - The game is very dark in places. I am using the s-video cable, not sure if that could be related, but its far darker than any other game I play on this television via S-Video and at times it is actually a problem.
- Other Thoughts: The language and the content of the dialog in this game is fantastically bad. Don't mistake this to be a game for little kids. It may have the same rating as House of the Dead 2 + 3 for Wii, but it seems far more inappropriate than anything in those games.

The House of the Dead: OVERKILL charges you with mowing down waves of infected, blood-thirsty zombies in a last-ditch effort to survive Bayou City and uncover the horrific truth behind the origins of The House of the Dead.
Survival horror as it's never been seen before! A pulp-style take on the classic SEGA light-gun shoot ‘em up franchise. Back when the famous Agent G was still fresh out of the academy, he teamed up with hard-boiled bad-ass Agent Washington to investigate stories of mysterious disappearances in small-town Louisiana. Little did they know what blood-soaked mutant horror would await them in the streets and swamps of Bayou City.
Pulp Funk Horror
Zombie cool, one of the most popular shooter classics injected with a whole new retro b-movie look.
An utterly in-your-face zombie-dismembering blast
Non-stop light-gun style action on Wii, blow apart zombies for high-score thrills.
Superb co-op action on Wii
Bring a friend and play the game as intended in your own buddy action movie as two of the meanest mofos in video gaming.
Relentless, gore-drenched, over-the-top action
Only the coolest, most cold-hearted agent's going to keep his head against the zombie flood. Use "Slow-Mofo Time" to make the perfect head-popping shot and "Evil Eye" to spot moments of opportunity that'll send the whole environment up in flames.
Wiimote reactions
Get knee-deep in the dead with motion-sensitive Wii-controls. Shuck a shotgun and when the zombies get too close, pistol whip jaws off or cave some heads in with the stock of your pump-action – all in stomach-churning close-up. |
