They don't make 'em like they used to and depending on who you talk to, that's not necessarily a bad thing. If you're not a fan, we would recommend checking it out first before you buy, either by finding an original arcade somewhere (probably a grotty student union) or by hiring it and seeing how you get on. This meant that the cursor was completely off the shot at all times, and worst. So, first off, the game I mostly wanted to play in widescreen, House of the Dead 2, had one major issue: The HUD was stretched, and that included the cursor, which I wanted to play the game with. This is the The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return Nintendo WII Game guaranteed to work like new and backed by the Lukie Games 90-day no questions asked returns. Memories will come flooding back, just don't expect the ability to drink Vodka shots at 50p a go until 4 in the morning to come back with it. The widescreen hack of House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return is incredibly weird. If you are fan should you get it? Of course, it's good fun and at £25 will give you more than one night of entertainment, compared to spending the same on a round down the pub. The fact that Sega has bundled the two together on the one disk for a cheaper price than usual shows that this isn't cutting-edge gaming, but a chance for fans of the games to play once again without having to result to buying a Dreamcast and a CRT television on eBay. Personally we prefer 2 we always found it tougher and it was the game out of the two that we spent the most time playing the arcade during University years.
There isn't much between House of the Dead 2 and House of the Dead 3 to write them up separately. We say virtually because if you manage to save anyone then you're thrown the odd life pack or taken on a different route with less zombies and flesh eating vultures. Without worrying about walking around, the game takes you on a pre-defined route with your task to kill virtually everything in your path before it kills you.
#HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2 AND 3 RETURN SERIES#
Identical in graphics and gameplay to the original, there isn't anything new here apart from the fact you're now controlling this with your Wii Remote rather than something that's likely to get you stopped by the police on the way to your mate's house.įor those who've never heard of the Sega Dreamcast, let alone owned one (oh the horror) then the House of the Dead series sees you play one of two characters as you move your way through a landscape beset with zombies, killer frogs and monsters that look worse that a bad pull the morning after - think George A Romero and you're on the right track. If you ever managed to play House of the Dead 2 at the arcade or with the gun pointing at the television with the Sega Dreamcast version you'll be right at home. But should you pick up your weapon once more or has your life changed too much over the past decade to warrant the effort? We get pistol-whipping to find out. (Pocket-lint) - The arcade and Sega Dreamcast classic House of the Dead is back, this time on the Nintendo Wii.
