just pure awesomeness!!
The House of the Dead: Overkill, is a completely over the top, b-movie style, first person shooter with some of the best humor in any game. The story follows special agent G and detective Isaac Washington as they try to stop the evil papa caesar and his hoard of mutants (not zombies, dont use the Z word)
Each level has a completely different atmosphere and, for a wii game, looks amazing although you can't destory the environments. Sometimes, it seems that there is too much going on and the wii can't handle it and there's a noticible frame rate slow down, this tends to happen when there are a lot of mutants on the screen or the mutants are close when you shoot them, but this is forgivible.
The controls really make this game as you use the wii remote as a gun to shoot down the mutants, you can also get a hand connon which is just a plastic gun shaped wii remote holder which really adds to the experience.
The whole story mode only takes about 4 hours to complete but there's tonnes of replay value, you can unlock new weapons by beating the story and the directors cut modes and get money from your score to buy new weapons. the best way to get money is to sustain a long combo, increasing the number of points you get for each mutant killed, the combo keeps increasing unless you miss a mutant or your reach goregasm which gives you 1000 extra points for each mutant killed, but it's dificult to sustain a large combo with some weapons. all the weapons can be upgraded using the money earned from each level.
There are some seriously awesome boss battles in this which totally add the feel of the game, each one different from the last but once you get the pattern of the bosses, they're really easy to beat, especially with the automatic shotgun.
All wii owners should have a copy of this game, it totally utilises the wii controls and is one of the best looking wii games around. :D:D
