![]() ![]() Or, like old times, you can grab a friend and blow through the undead army together. Whereas most of us didn’t have the excessive quarters to afford duel-wielding in the arcade, it’s entirely possible and outrageously satisfying on the Wii. I loved Umbrella Chronicles because it invoked The House of the Dead this new package comes with all the goodies from the Xbox House 3 like Time Attack, while House 2 gets a boss rush and a unique “Original” mode featuring item collection (again, clearly inspired by the Resident Evil series (whoo!)). Each level ends with an impressive boss fight which relies almost exclusively on pattern memorization and weak point spamming.Īnd it’s incredibly fun. ![]() Extra lives are earned by rescuing innocent civilians from the rampaging undead, and depending on how many zombies you’ve killed or people you’ve rescued, there are several branching paths in each individual level. At any rate, the comical storyline can’t get in the way of the pure fun which comes from shooting zombies in the head and watching chunks go flying in all directions.įor those of you who’ve never been to an arcade before (where, honestly, this series is a staple), House of the Dead is a basic rail shooter in which you’re given a pistol and shoot zombies as they come running toward you. Just like the Mansion Incident, the zombies in The House of the Dead are accidental byproducts of a much more sinister experiment. The House of the Dead plotline is laughably similar to that of Resident Evil’s, including the virtual duplication of some boss monsters and overall “biological weapon” theme. The obvious light-gun potential of the Wii Remote helps make the game a whopping success, although there are instances when its arcade roots hold both games back from their true potential. Now, the latter two games have been compiled onto a single disk: House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return for Wii. ![]() In 2002, House of the Dead 3 shambled into arcades, but because the American arcade scene had largely dissolved, the game was also ported to Xbox in 2003. Two years later, Sega released The House of the Dead 2 in the arcades and later ported it to the Dreamcast, where it remains a system favorite. In fact, the original title penetrated our American arcade scene in 1996, which, ironically, was the year that Resident Evil took over our PlayStations. Keep your buying price under $10.00, like we said two hours of gameplay first time through hard to recommend spending more than that.The House of the Dead games are old. There is replay value here, you will want to replay House of the Dead 3 more than 2 but it is hard to spend too much money for only two hours of gameplay. There is unfortunately a huge problem you can beat both games in less than two hours. The gameplay mechanics for both games are intact, there is no problems aiming, reloading or calibrating your controller, so you can hit your target if you are fast enough. Voice acting is better than previous game and the story does make sense. You get to play as Agent G here again and the game takes place in the year 2019 and has three endings, each kind of weird and cheesy. It adds a melee attack to block enemy blows. It is more fun than the House of the Dead 2 and is the better game. House of the Dead 3 is a fast pace shooter. ![]()
