The House of the Dead: OVERKILL

meowton's The House of the Dead: Overkill (Wii) review

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

probably the funniest game ive played sense...... well, a long time.  the voice acting is great, and the zombies are nice and bloody.  lots of unlockables makes me want to replay more and more. it feels like an old 70's buddy cop movie, but with a REDICULOUS amount of swearing.  dont have youre 5 year olds in the room when you're playing this, unless you want them to be a foulmouthed badass cop. And let me tell you ... without peer, this game has THE BEST ENDING EVER.  i will not say spoilers, just go rent the game or something and beat it once.  you will be a better person for it. 

the only reason im not giving it a full 5 stars is cuz theres some lag issues.  some.... bit of an understatement.  you notice it in the first level more then enywhere else tho, i  guess its because you subconciously get used to it.  its a really quick snag in the animation, i have a feeling its loading and thats why. 

also theres a few 4 person mini games that can keep you and youre nerdy friends occupied for a good half hour or so, i bumped the score up a bit for that.

The game is a prequel to the original House of the Dead released all the way back in 1996 and is the first in the series to skip an Arcade rel...

While scientists theorize as to why the dinosaur went extinct, nobody will ask any questions as to why the light-gun shooter is on the endangered species list of genres. Nor will PETA or the WWF have any remote interest into saving the breed of zombie/terrorist shooting simulators. The arcade, their natural habitat, was deforested by the loggers of Time. Their unwillingness to adapt to modern standards made the public bored in their cause, and left them to be devoured by their evolutionary super...
