House of the Dead Return is a great game, although it should have had the very first game to have given this review a 10
Gameplay wise these are great, although House of The Dead 3 being a little too hard on it's final boss, it's all very good. Sega have added in a couple more modes, like Time Attack and Boss Attack for each game. You can play with a second person, and there are inifinte continues to use, which is better than trying to find these at Arcades now a days.
Graphics remain the same but you'd think they could have touched up the graphics a little bit, made them better to show us what Wii can take. House of the Dead 3 was on the original XBOX quite some time ago, and those graphics remain exactly the same.
It's hard to describe these 2 games, both are very addictive wether you like playing arcade shooters with yourself or friends. Completing these modes on both games will take you a good 4-5 hours on each, but trying to perfect those scores will take a lot longer, like on most games practice makes perfect.
The only thing that puzzled me is if Sega added these modes, why couldn't they add the original House of The Dead. Not many people I know have played the very original and completed it, and it would have made this a lot better. Not that this game isn't good but it would have added to the replay value a lot more.
If you like Vampire Hunter, Ghost Squad, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles or Time Crisis (probably not a good example) then I reccomend that you buy this game. You'll get some fun out of this game.
