Manufacturer's Description
Two fan-favourite titles from the popular THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD series are being compiled into one grisly, action-packed horror shooter for the Wii. Both THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD II and III, which collectively have sold over 500K units, will feature the original arcade experience, complete with branching storylines, over six ghoul-filled game modes and bonus content. Gamers will re-live their glory days in the arcades and now with the new rapid-fi re Wii Zapper, mowing down packs of clawing, biting undead is even more satisfying!
Customer Reviews
old school fun!
i was very happy to see house of dead on wii, and was quick to make it one of my first purchases. ive spent hours, in the days, at arcades blasting zombies. i got the venom gun with this and once you calibrate the gun with your tv its simple. just point and shoot and kill. Brilliant!!!
Good stress reliever!
This is a really good shooting game especially if you play it with one of the Wii guns that are on the market. Two games for the price of one you can't complain. Good arcade action that you can keep coming back too. I found its only downfall was there was no save option during gamplay but other than that I would say go and buy it.
Arcade classic, in your home!
Ok so i brought this game purely for the love of the arcade classic, and it certainly presents a great arcade feel, perfect for the Wii.
However, if you're not the type of person who can happily stand pressing a trigger over and over then yes, it can get slightly repetitive. Great for a short burst of violence, or multiplayer fun, but not so great for a long term challenge.
The different modes in both games give you more to do, especially the boss mode, which is good practice, as well as the timed challenge which helps work on aiming because you increase time by shooting in the head.
I would say the aim isn't 100% accurate on both games, as it is fairly easy to shoot anywhere on the screen and be able to kill all the zombies, As the game progresses aim is more important and you have to work on it, which makes you concentrate more, but the pointer tends to move pretty fast so it takes a steady hand.
Graphics on HOTD2 are pretty basic, like the original, which doesnt really affect the gameplay, but you can tell the improvement when it comes to HOTD3.
Overall a good, fast moving no brainer, great for multiplayer games, and just enough gore!
