The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return (Wii, 2008)

Awesome game ...short but very entertaining...Good on rail aracade style game..lots of blood shed and gore..great price for a bundle of two classic game in one

Great violence and story but you cant save your progress, starting over everytime gets old. The grafix are great and the blood looks real. Everybody loves blowing the heads off of the undead, dont you. a geat game if you can get it for a good price.

It's a very fun game, It's most fun to play in 2 player mode (my 7 year old daughter loves it). You can set the game to very easy mode, so kids can get pretty far in the game without getting frustrated. Even though it's a little gory,(you can adjust the violence meter)- even the extreme setting doesn't look real, so you don't have to worry about causing your kids to have nightmares. Game has mild curse words- one character says "Damn" - don't know why the programmers think they need that in there but,.. it's there. **DOWN SIDE OF GAME-- game takes a long time to load between scenes (settings) almost like a glich, or an overload.
If you can get the game for under 20 bucks-- it's a pretty good deal.

The House of the Dead 2 & 3 is a fun shooter for the Wii. The graphics aren't great, but are probably pretty similar to the original arcade game. The real value of the game is as a very fast-paced shooter that will test the speed and accuracy of your trigger finger. It is also a lot of fun with 2 players, where you and a friend can shoot your way through hordes of zombies together.
The biggest downside is that the voice acting is horrendous (you'll get used to hearing would-be victims say "thanks for saving me" after you blow away zombies that were inches from devouring them, in the same tone they would use to thank you for holding a door for them at the grocery store. And there are a lot of cut scenes, but you can skip over them if you're not too interested in the story.
Overall, it is a fun game. If you're looking for a game that uses the Wii-mote as a gun, and like intense, high-paced shooters, but aren't too worried about great graphics or good dialogue, this is a good pick.

I like the fact that U can calibrate the Wii remote separately, even if U have the Wii Zapper, or one of its thousand clones out there with a red dot sight on the trigger. Good that it has different modes of play, too, if you just want to blast away, or if you need something more challenging. Only downside is that my trigger finger(s) (when I play "gangsta style ;-) ) get tired from the constant pulling, as I don't think there's a full auto mode for the Zapper--must check that. But that just tells me to take more breaks!

Overall a GREAT game!
