House of the Dead but not as you remember it
House of the Dead has returned to home systems only this time developed by Headstrong Games (publishing duties still fall to Sega). It brings with it a new subtitle and new attitude. Now gone is the static voice acting a... Read Full Review

I'm not 14 so no matter how many times mother F#c£er is said in this game, it doesn't make it funny or good ...
After being used to playing such great horror games as dead space and left 4 dead, playing this was like being back in the 80s. I dont see the great appeal about this game, you mindlessly just aim your wii controller at ... Read Full Review

just one word: wow
O.K. I am a fan of House of the dead and the grind-house movie. This game is a combination of both. The game is really funny in a dirty and dark way. This is a light gun game that is of course with zombies, but someth... Read Full Review

Old school, over the top, and funny as hell. Tarantino lovers, rejoice.
If you don't like movies like Pulp Fiction, Shoot 'Em Up, or Sean of the Dead, you probably won't like this. However, if you are able to identify the humor put into this game (and not act like a dumbass and only see the... Read Full Review

If you have played the other light gun-ish shooters on the Wii, then this one won't impress you at all.
"Guided" shooters seem to be the latest trend on the Wii. Start with a well-known series like Resident Evil or Dead Space, take movement and camera control out of the player's hands, and take advantage of Wii motion con... Read Full Review

Pathetic parody of the original House of the Dead series with frustrating gameplay, bugs, and bad graphics and dialogue.
This game was rated one of the most profane games ever created. The excessive use of swearing words in the game is just stupid, period. What are they trying to achieve here? Every single sentence that the character Isaac... Read Full Review

Gore, guns, and extras makes this game awesome!
