However, the gameplay is quick and fun enough to warrant numerous replays on both titles. This package includes HOD2 & 3 on one disc for the Wii. If you are unfamilair with the series, HOD is an arcade series which means that it will be short when compared to some other titles. There are also many unlockables that can help keep interest going on this one.
As you look at many of the reviews of guns for the Wii, they are all over the place. Second, Anthony was upset that you don't have infinite continues. Play the orininal mode and you can collect the "Infinite Credits" item (I believe its at the end of the second to last level) and you can have your God Mode moment. The port is perfect in my opinion. I actually found the Wii remote to work very well in that it was light, and the small trigger let me get off numerous amount of shots in a short period of time.
The Zapper is too bulky, the Perfect Shot is too heavy, the. But if you really want infinite continues, don't sweat it, at least in House of the Dead 2. Absolutely no challange, and just makes things oh so boring. Thank you Sega for not forcing us to buy a gun that we feel to be inferior. My only gripe is that they kept it so perfect to the point of keeping the terrible acting by what sounds like Japanese trying to mimic English. This is a great game for us that have grown up loving blasting away in the arcade, seeing how far you can go until you run out of quarters. I am writing this in response to the review given by 1Up.com.
It's two games for the price of half of one so it's definately worth it. I do find it funny, but I think someone could have copied over the campy acting using English speaking actors. In my opinion that just ruins the game. I actually find this a plus because it keeps the game cheap, ranging from 19.99 - 29.99 new and as low as 14.99 used, and gives the player the choice of gun type to use for the game. other players may have different preferences, and that is why it is great that we have choices.
whatever. In the reivew Anthony has some complains about not having a gun packed in with the game. doesn't let me shoot fast enough. Overall this is a great game that is a lot of fun and won't consume your life in that it's short.
A bargain price gets you two versions of "House of the Dead", both 2 and 3, as well as an unlockable "extreme" mode of 3 that gives you some new features like being able to block with your weapon.Aside from the extreme mode, which is unfortunately only 1-player, "House of the Dead 2 &3" is almost exactly like the arcade game. But at the price, if you are looking for something that you can just shut off your brain for and indulge in some mindless violence, then "House of the Dead 2 & 3" is just what you need. The good part is that you get exactly what you wanted; it is just as much fun blasting zombies from the comfort of your living room as it is in a danky arcade and best of all you don't have to keep shoving quarters in. The zombie attacks are never random, and they always come from exactly the same place so it almost becomes like the old Super Mario Bros where you memorize a pattern and repeat it every time. I'm not a huge fan of the zapper, and like the Wii Perfect Shot Gun instead, but neither are necessary to have a great time playing.The bad part is that it is exactly like the arcade game. I don't often go to arcades anymore, but when I do, I can be counted to plunk a few quarters into whatever "House of the Dead" game they have so I can blast away at some zombies.
I was looking for something I could play with my wife, and she always digs shooting zombies too so it was a no-brainer. There are a few game changing items, like "infinite credits", and a lot of useless ones like the various costumes that only change your appearance but don't affect game play, but on the whole it is all about repeating the same gestures over and over again until they become automatic enough to advance you through the levels.This is not a game to be played over and over again.
It isn't the greatest game, but gives you lots of bang for your buck when you only have a little bit of time and a pocketful of change.When I picked up my Nintendo Wii, this was the first game I got for it. This means when you die, you have to start again from the beginning which gets boring fast.
What I found out is that "House of the Dead" works best arcade style, where you play it for just a few minutes then walk away. You get a limited number of "credits", and there is no way to save your game or really advance at all.
As expected, the light gun works perfectly with the Wii. This is both good and bad.
You don't need any attachments, although the Wii Zapper is recommended. The lack of advancing in the game and the constant returning to start gets frustrating, and limits any sort of long-term enjoyment.
Very fun co-op game. I'm waiting for House of the Dead 4 and Overkill for Wii :-)if you are a zombie shooter lover and you want a pair fun games, with co-op support, terror, and a very good gameplay, just buy this pack. ;-)
I've played these games for a long time now but it's the first time the feel of the original arcade version can be reproduced on a console.Fantastic. A must-buy for any one who's into horror themed on-rails shooters.
