This game offers wireless arcade style gaming from the comfort your living room. I remember playing this game in a few arcades around town. The Wii version is the exact same as the arcade version minus the pocket full of quarters required to play it!! Hardware: You don't need a nunchuck for this one, so there's no wires to deal with. We use 2 wireless nyko perfect shot pistols wich are great for this game! The wii zapper also comes in handy, delivering a more comfertable grip during long games. Graphics: The graphics in House of the Dead 2, are less than what you would expect from a next generation console. But, the realistic arcade feeling more than makes up for it. The graphics in House of the Dead 3, are conciderably better. Gameplay: There are 2 different games here! Both offer unlockable material, bonus items and features like Boss attack. You can unlock infinate continues on either game to REALLY enjoy the titles. It can be irritating starting the games from scratch when your "quarters" run out! Overall gameplay I'd give a 9 out of 10 though, as the point and shoot feeling of the arcade is simply fantastic!!! Overview: Great game for Wii partys, or just solo zombie killing! Graphics aren't great but actual gameplay is top notch! The terrable voice acting in this one is hallarious, and every aspect of the game spells F U N. Run out and grab this one if you haven't already!!Read full review
What a great game. It brings back memories of playing in old arcade/Odyssey Fun Worlds. Some people say the graphics are poor even for the years that they came out, but I beg to differ. The graphics are pretty good I tink. The story is meh, but it's all about the gameplay. In House of the Dead 2, you can take multiple paths all leading to the final boss. It depends on what civilians you save. Plus there are a ton of items to pick up in "Original Mode" to change how much ammo you have or what you can where. In House of the Dead 3, the graphics are in my opinion not as good, but still not bad. Story is still meh, but action is still there. This game is much easier than the second game. There aren't as many extras either. Still a good game though. All in all, it's a great buy for House of the Dead fans and shooter fans!!!Read full review
I like the fact that U can calibrate the Wii remote separately, even if U have the Wii Zapper, or one of its thousand clones out there with a red dot sight on the trigger. Good that it has different modes of play, too, if you just want to blast away, or if you need something more challenging. Only downside is that my trigger finger(s) (when I play "gangsta style ;-) ) get tired from the constant pulling, as I don't think there's a full auto mode for the Zapper--must check that. But that just tells me to take more breaks! Overall a GREAT game!
Buy it, love it, play it, shoot it, fun fun fun! What the Wii should be played with. It has fantastic controls, the graphics are great, really a classic arcade shooter. I know the 'first' one looks bad but thats the old old arcade one and its a classic, love the voice acting, just absolute crap, but funny for that. The second one is much better graphic wise and gameplay wise, just a more polish game than the first one. So get it, its wonderful and I really do wish the Wii would have more games like this, not the crap Wii Music. :P
While the games are a little dated These products were purchased for use in a Prop or display for our annual Halloween party weekend. We hooked up an old Wii console to our huge tube TV for a retro Arcade type feel and are anticipating that it will be one of the star attractions. The games are a rail type shooter with a cheesy dialogue and will fit perfectly in with our retro zombie theme.
