House of the Dead (Wii)

House of the Dead for the Wii is not a new game. Rather it is two old games repackaged and sold on for a price a bit below the usual for a will title. Included in House of the Dead: 2 & 3 Return, unsurprisingly is the second and third titles in the successful series of arcade shooters. Known for the corny japanese dialogue and overt gore, House of the Dead places you in the middle of zombie infested buildings and leaves you to shoot your way out. As these games originated in the arcade the gameplay suffers a bit from its habit of pumping you for coins. Death is rarely the end as you have five chances to mess it all up before the game will admit that you deserve ...  Read the complete review

I got this for my son from the bargain bin section of Zavvi before Christmas last year. Having very much enjoyed the arcade versions of the House of the Dead, I was looking forward to a good old zombie fest at the first available opportunity. You can probably see from the image, it is two games on the one disk: House of the Dead 2 and its successor 3. There have been others in the arcade series.

We also bought the Resident evil game (which I ...  Read the complete review

2 superb arcade light gun shooters make there way in to your living room. Sure the graphics are exreamally dated but the ports from the original acrade game to the console is superb. This on the rails shooter has you following a pre determined set path (apart from some options) gunning down zombies hell bent on your destruction. If you remember popping 50p's in to an arcade machine playing this as a kid then you are going to love this 2 pack of nostalga. I found the wii-mote to be very responsive and worked superbly, unfortuneatley i dont have the zapper so couldnt try that out. 2 games at the price of a budget title you can really lose, sure it doesnt have the ...  Read the complete review
