The House Of The Dead: Overkill (Wii) Reviews

The House Of The Dead: Overkill (Wii), I saw this game for £15 in a supermarket so bought it thinking it would be a cheap and cheerful game. To my surprise the graphics are actually alot better than I expected and it is a really fun game to play with friends, I wouldnt pay full price for the game though because I found it to be quite short, which ...  Read the complete review

The House of the Dead: Overkill...now...where to start? Everything about this game is based on the grindhouse style of film, so I believe that this must be fully explained prior to anything else. The grindhouse style of film is a strange one, very low film quality and over the top subject matter, be it explicit sexual innuendoes, gratuitous ...  Read the complete review

House of the Dead: Overkill it one of the most enjoyable games I've played in recent years. The latest instalment from Sega's first person rail shooter franchise The House of the Dead, which is set as a prequel to the 1996 arcade original. The game follows main characters Special Agent G and Detective Isaac Washington as they set out ...  Read the complete review

House of the Dead, Overkill is a truly ridiculous game, it is alot of fun, but never the less ridiculous. a particular aspect of the game is the aptly named 'Hand Cannon' which replaces the Wii blaster as the weapon of choice, living up to its name due to its huge size, which unfortunately can make it uncomfortable after extended periods of ...  Read the complete review

I recently picked this game up after hearing rave reviews of the game both from friends and online from sites like IGN. I waited till it was reduced in price as £40 seemed too expensive. The game itself is fantastic fun, there's plenty of gore, action, violence and humour to keep many hardcore video gamers satisfied. HOTD: Overkill ...  Read the complete review

The Wii has previously been graced with two from this shooting series, a two in one game featuring the second and third House Of The Dead games. As fans of this series should already know, House Of The Dead features cheesy [and often quite terrible] voice acting, along with a thin story, but plenty of fun shooting. Although the first ...  Read the complete review

[Please Note] I tested both the Nintendo Wii Zapper and House of the Dead Official Magnum with the game. I found the Magnum to be far more satisfying to use and also easier to play with. The House of the Dead overkill is an all new Wii game from Sega. Rather than being an arcade port, this is an all new version for the Wii, built from ...  Read the complete review

House of The Dead - one of those series games that have ropey, uninspiring, badly voice acted stories, but are an absolute blast to play. It's what we all know and love. But then Overkill comes along and throws all that in the bin and has created a light gun game that is not only a blast to play, but is also absolutely hilarious and well acted. ...  Read the complete review

House of the Dead: Overkill will be one of the most outrageous non-PC games you will ever play, but be warned it is not for the faint of heart and definitely not for those of a younger age. House of the Dead: Overkill is the latest in the House of the Dead series, and continues in the same classic style of the arcade shooter. ...  Read the complete review

House of the Dead is a great shoot-em-up style game. A bit gory and graphic in places, and with a fairly shocking amount of bad language - so perhaps not suitable for the kids - but for adults it's a fantastic game. The graphics are excellent equality, and the controls are very precise and easy to use. There are around seven levels, and ...  Read the complete review

Being a massive zombie movie fan, I pre-ordered this game. I'd played House of the Dead on the Sega Saturn - so sort of knew what to expect. You will need a light gun of some sort ~ I already had the Wii Zapper; but really like the looks of the official "Hand Cannon". Basically; you shoot zombies and monsters. The ...  Read the complete review

This game is a hoot but it is relentlessly violent and gory. Defiantly one for the committed zombie film fan. Overkill is a radical move away from the previous House of the Dead games. Instead of the curious dialogue and the dreadful voice acting it's witty and funny with a very dark sense of humour and a style that draws heavily on ...  Read the complete review

The house of thead for those of you that don't know is a very popular arcade game since converted to a console game with still all the basics intact. The graphics aren't great but that's coming from someone who's used to Xbox 360 so relatively speaking the graphics aren't bad for the Wii. Mind you the graphics are good enough to give the ...  Read the complete review

The House Of The Dead is one of my favourite shooting games to play on the rare occasions I get to spend some time in a games arcade. Along with the Time Crisis series, I have probably spent a small fortune on playing these. Probably enough to buy my own game. Once this was released on the wii, I did just that. Ok, so a wii game can hardly compare ...  Read the complete review

House of the Dead, known for it's 3 or 4 arcade "pump major pound coins into me!" style cabinets strewn everywhere in past years as well as some home conversions now shambles it's brain feasting self onto the Wii. At first i was a little dubious as to how this would actually play, having played Umbrella Chronicles which is in the same ...  Read the complete review

The House of the Dead series has been kicking around the arcades for years now. They've been ported all over the place and fun as they are, the first three have been showing their age for some time now. Neverthless, House of the Dead 2 and 3 were recently ported to the Wii very effectively. No doubt this was to test the water for this Wii ...  Read the complete review

House of the Dead Overkill takes a radical swerve from the original Sega House Of The Dead arcade series, with a wii-only prequel following hardcore Agent G and ladies-man Detective Issaac Washington as they battle through a city infested by a mutant-zombie outbreak, and a succession of hideously deformed boss battles.
