Background:
The House of the Dead: OVERKILL charges you with mowing down waves of infected, blood-thirsty zombies in a last-ditch effort to survive and uncover the horrific truth behind the origins of the House of the Dead. Survival horror as its never been seen before, The House of the Dead: OVERKILL is a pulp-style take on the best selling, classic SEGA light-gun shooter series. Back when the famous Agent G was fresh out of the academy, he teamed up with hard-boiled bad-ass Agent Washington to investigate stories of mysterious disappearances in small-town Louisiana. Little did they know what blood-soaked mutant horror awaited them in the streets and swamps of Bayou City.

Overall fun game with some nice style but a word of caution before you run out and buy a gun for it.



The downside to wii controllers. If your like me the game screams at you to buy some form of pistol setup to get the killing zombies mentality right. Unfortunately the way the wiimote works isn't the same way a light gun or the arcade setups like lcd topgun work.

If you choose to buy the gun get up just make sure you know that where you aim (depending on angle) isn't going to be where your wiimote is. This is fine for people for the most part since you calibrate your own movement by raising your arm a little but from a gun stand point it's no fun to shoot 6 inches below where you're sights are. I tried the calibration and modified the gun to point lower but the sides of the screen still go off kilter due to the way the wiimotes work.
