NC* The House of the Dead 2 and 3 Return (Wii) Review

[cakestalker]

they should have included the arcade version of the original house of the dead as well in this package.. too bad there is no proper light-gun for the wii to play this game.

[cfonsi]

0:12 there was nothing we could do,watch sanity not included

[savagetoons]

i want to get this game cos i played it with my friend a time ago on a arcade machine. i think it looks good and i found this for £7 and i want to get it.

[TheTheultimatelover]

@savagetoons Hi,I bought this game last week and I agree with you that it's a very cool game!I bought it second hand for E 12,50 (about seven pounds)Cheers..

[savagetoons]

@TheTheultimatelover lol ,Hope u engoy every bit of it ^ ^

[KingdomSlayah]

lol wow you make this game look bad. :P

[8bitPikachu]

id like to to see Carn-Evil brought to wii hell they can distribute it thought the shop cannel

[LegoAssassin300]

@8bitPikachu Carnevil? now your talking

[TRexTurtle]

It's funny this guy complains about not being able to beat the games on his first try, but they only last 20-30 minutes to begin with. They're not even that hard once you figure out what you're doing.

[cybernerd129]

This is really the type of game that you already know whether or not you want.

[legodude9078]

LOL Dont flame at me or anything but its funny how you argue with the game.

[sonicfan1984]

that's funny, I was playing HotD 4 at Dave and Busters yesterday, lol.

[Headshotgod]

They should have made House of the Dead 1-4 Return because 2+3 just need less than 500mb of disc space. i wasnt interested in that "collection", just bought overkill

[bryce1james]

yeh just got it aswell massive letdown though. not my type of game.

[dinokaiser]

I really wish SEGA would port the arcade game "Ocean hunter" to the nintendo Wii, which in my opinion, is one of the very best light gun arcade games developed by SEGA for arcades.

[anupsanju]

Man, I LOVED that game when I played it at Game Works. Actually, I think people shoot port as many lightgun games to the Wii...Especially Point Blank (and Ocean Hunter...and HotD4)

[maxsonly]

I have this game, it's short, but still fun.

[GamingRetard]

so glad its finaly come to home console...i played both in the arcade and HOTD3 is my fav...they had pump action shotgun lightguns in the arcade!!! FUN! but sadly its more like house of the dead 2 now where you just point off screen to reload. both are amazin games and imo better than resi umbrella chronicles.

[YouKnowItzTTime81]

@GamingRetard what are u smoking 2 think this is better than RE UC?

[will5176]

seriously dude dont go so in depth people play games like this and enjoy them cause they are simple easy and is fun to shoot things :)

0/5 u never say anything good :(

[octupusman1000]

@will5176 I honestly think you're being an idiot when you say that he never says anything good here. I heard him say positive stuff for House of the Dead 3 loud and clear and he gave the compilation a decent score too. You however only focused on the negative things he said.

[TheRoyBoy734]

this game is pretty good but i prefure resident evil umbrella chronicles

[ninjaera12]

he killed people

[JKMDF]

Buckshot :D with this will be awesome.

After watching this I remebered the much times I lost at the arcade :S Cus was always playing alone due to a problem with one of the shotguns and the number of enemies was the same for 2 players. Ah well am doing it again this holiday :P

When buckshot comes out I'll but it with a fps

[Blazethebest]

they should make a time crisus game for wii

[Visser0x]

Im getting this game house of the dead overkill touching the dead and some game with mamma in it (They cooking mom but the one with plants)

[XinBiDe]

You mean Touch the Dead for the Nintendo DS??? I don't think that is part of the house of the dead series. Also, I heard it is awful.

[Visser0x]

No i meant to say "im getting this game,house of the dead overkill,touching the dead and cooking mamma" but now im getting driver,izuna,izune 2 and demon blade

[jamchaos]

i still love playing house of the dead 2 at my local arcade

[highpriestrsw2]

They need to just port time crisis to the Wii!

These games do look pretty washed out but I think it's where the new gen games got their mud, rock and crap color schemes from though!

[rdDolphinX]

Yeah! I still love playing the time crisis games in the arcade, but i would much rather be able to play them at home!

[nicstr95]

they have infinate continues on the time crisis so why cant they both have infinate continues. i mean their both made by sega.

[splot9]

do you now if the new one overkill has infinite continues

[theotherspartan]

Probably has an option for it, or at the very least is broken up into stages with checkpoints and opportunities to save like in Umbrella Chronicles.

[LightningProtoman]

can dis game play co-op

[emporier]

yea i have a problum with my game somebody respond

[Tataru5117]

they should make carnevil next!

[paprikamuffin]

O.O yay! thats one of my other favorite arcade zombie shooter games. i love how the haunted house boss dies. <3 just the essense of shooting zombie makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. yes im a girl.

[Tataru5117]

the ending of you comment was a little disterbing. (0_o) the first boss of the haunted house, Hambone, is my fave boss ever

[f8j3jn]

i love house of the dead

[link1614]

hey is it house of the dead witrh it

[giantchickenguy]

WHY in the freaking world doesnt Nintendo actually ATTEMPT to make a HALFWAY decent Wii game??? OMG SERIOUSLY!!!

[persianhero85]

This isn't a Nintendo game. Nintendo games are usually excellent.

[thegreatman99]

Nintendo didn't make this game and they don't make all the shitty ports that come to wii either. If you haven't noticed Nintendo's titles are always the good ones that come to the system (Mario Galaxy, Zelda, Smash Bros etc)

[LockHoodlum]

...hmmm I agree that the best titles till now had been Nintendo games (on a few 3rd party titles).

But also Nintendo is slacking away:

Zelda TP was a NGC port... and to make things worse:

Nintendo is planning to port Pikmin 1&2... no new content for Wii owners :(

BTW: I do own HOTD 2&3, and it's a good pop-corn & beer game! Friends love it!

[fatdaddyb28]

U mean Sega

[Sam3231]

eventually you do unlock infinite credits.

[dnaslinky369]

really? when

[Sam3231]

It's what you unlock after you unlock 9 credits if I remember correctly. Basically you just gotta play enough and you'll get it.

[GirlLuver25]

Thank's man you rock.Now I'm going to play this more often.

[Ballintotheextrem]

man what do u know about reviews???

[Hexamethylenetetrami]

House of the dead: Overkill looks amazing

[dogs4lifeluvem]

i love this game sooo much, I just wish you could save it!!

[MatthiusSama]

I got this game and love it, at first I liked 3 a lot more but its too short and Im really into 2 now. Im actually better on an arcade machine but I enjoy the wii experience just as much.

[wealllovepotatoes]

my main problem is the cross hair it makes it less like your actually shooting a gun and some how it makes me worse :/

[titch2000]

well turn it off in the options menu

[hepper95]

can you turn on infite lives??

[titch2000]

well when ever you do some stuff you can earn extra lives and cedits, but i dont know if ucanunlock infinite lives

[darkdude97]

no you vant you can have from 1 to 9 credits

[Onimusha64]

I LOVE THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD! They should port the 1st game onto the wii!

[Ritarp215]

This game dont look bad but i dont like that u have to re-start from the beginning everytime u die.

But Umbrellea chronicals was greattt i love that game.

And great reveiw.

kepp up the good work !

[DrunkRooster]

that seems just a bit too generous for this game, i mean a 7/10 in my world translates into an ok game, but the way you talked about it, it seemed like you really didnt like it that much.... great review still, you touch on some very good points

[RingKingCube]

if u use the "perfect shot" gun by nyko it makes the game a lot bettter. agree with everything this guy says and definitely prefer RE:UC but this is still a decent game.

[PhyA52]

great review.

[loopylouie101]

You still sound like a pissed off knobhead...Oh wait...:P

[neverchris]

You shouldn't watch people review games if you can't take someone being critical of them.

[loopylouie101]

Emotion is fine in a review, but going over-board is something I never seem to think as a good thing.

[hinataloverz]

dude

2 is so cool

3 is cool

[megamanxu]

7 out of 10 from this guy is a 10 out of 10 for me ^^

[thorak007]

you freaking ripped on 2

[honchomanuel1996]

arcade game in my house,thats really what i need.

[LeeMan00]

I have that game and its fun to play with friends. Its a lot better when you have the gun shell, I don't really like the Zapper.

[eddy100000]

Nintendo makes the game the best

[TheMonsterManMan]

When you said the thing about the credits, I agree. But in The House Of The Dead Two you can unlock unlimited credits.

[yellowmadness54]

nintendoe gave this game such a crappy title, HOTD 2&3 return, thats so gay

[booweird]

Nintendo did not publish or develop the game, therefore they do not name it.

[TheOtherBono]

reload! reload! r-r-reload-reload! reload

[TheyCallMeThumbs]

This gaem is awesoem for people that have friends haha...

Personally I love rail shooters, probally because they aren't so common in the house hold

[bobbynewmarkiii]

unlimited continues are for pussies

[yellowmadness54]

LOL, i got the game and i only use that when i beat the game, or im really bored :P

[xrikimarux]

they waste the their time on the RM of this but they should of done is make HotD 4 for wii the one where you use a smg

[mattamomo]

if you wanna enjoy this game i recomen having ahigh quality tv with big screen and play once a week so it with a friend this makes it such a good game.

[Alexmaster321]

u suck at this game!

[neverchris]

I often record footage from the first time I play a game.

[dalecarey]

should i get it?

[yellowmadness54]

yes, it is very fun, unless you have a controller, then go to ebay and buy a light gun

[TheHybird]

This is probably my favorite review (mainly because I was reminded of the ever infamous ranting styles of Adam Sessler back in the day)

[KingEnigma]

Wow you do bad Reviews, and trying to be funny, please save yourself just dont make your wack ass jokes and do NOT do anymore reviews please

[axxerr]

shut the fuck up.

[norulezapply]

Okay review.

[sasukekyuubi]

i didnt understand half of the things he said.

[noobsmoke79]

+1. HOTD was good in its time (I played them so much on the Dreamcast and Xbox I got tired of them.) REUC and RE4 Wii ed are the best games for Wii right now. Much more depth, longer game experience and more skill required. I still dream of a Jill/Ashley sandwich!

[aznatreyu131]

wow thanx really REALLY good review...nicely done

[FarmhouseMedia]

Sadly enough, a "JUST OK" game on the Wii... IS A REALLY GOOD Wii GAME!

[prls]

my fucking cursore keeps dissapperaring so i cant kill anything i have new wii mote new batreys even a new gun and it still dont work :@:@ help me some1

[SyteriouS]

Get a new Wii remote sensor.

[LinealJibe]

is it possible to remove the cursor?

[bonggzilla]

yes it is

[superbeaner0]

This game is fun to play once in a while with a friend =]

[BluHorizonProduction]

the graphics are gonna be crap, it was made in 1999, lol.

[VGfan96]

So you're saying HOTD2 is bad because of it's graphics? Seems shallow...

[neverchris]

As well as questionable hit detection and more cheap hits from the enemies among others.

[eddie2593]

shud i get this game r medal of honour/cod

[xXxMMORPGxXx]

well i recently got medal of honor heroes 2 and online - best wii game but in non online , it lacks in depth , but for a wwII shooter for the wii , nothing will beat medal of honor heroes 2

[crazykidsayshello]

dude your such a dick

[xxxxxxxDreamxxxxxxx]

your a dick but what your saying is kinda true, im really enjoyiung the game

[LoneSoldier51]

If i want to play House Of The Dead 2, I'll play it on my Sega Dreamcast. You should know why. As for House of the Dead 3, I'll play it on my Xbox. House of dead returns, is an alright game but it gets boring fast.. This happens when I'm all grown up. :)

[joeybone11]

wow you are a bitch

[Alexred94]

I say you guys should get Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicals.

[crossfadecold]

I wish it was 1 and 2 those were the best but i still want this and resident evil unbrella cronicals

[BloopyQ]

I am going to get this game. To work multiplayer you have to press home, go to wii remote settings, go to reconnect and press 1+2 simultaniously for each you want to connect and there you go.

[0wN3d21]

Hey I have this game and it's so addicting.

I have a question,,how can you make the two-player work?? please answer.

[Sknots]

this game is really fun

i remember when i used to play this

on arcades and its really good whit the wii zapper and the extras

but the voice acting

SUCKS ASS

the worst actin ever

anyway good game!

stay(sic)

[paladinartix]

If you think thats bad you should play the original resident evil. LOL

[mario123dude]

hay have you played the xbox version of the house of the dead 2 and 3

[DEIVION212]

If this was the HOTD Collection, it'd be worth it. But ANOTHER £30 for JUST 2&3 AGAIN! Is rediculas :(

[AlpineNInfinity]

does anyone know if this game is better with the wii light gun ?

[gimo80]

Oh yeeeah, this game definitely deserves a 9. Not considering that it's a blatant cash-in which has been lazily ported over to the Wii with barely extras and updates.

I have HOTD2 for the Dreamcast, and while it was pretty good for its day, it was never a classic. It's still an okay game, but the way Sega have just mindlessly released this on a next generation console is kind of laughable.

Great review, I think a 7 is very fair for a dated game. I want to see a brand new game next time, Sega!

[Nightwish0000]

Fuck you, this is a great game

[neverchris]

So I take it 7 was not high enough for you, in which 5 is considered average?

[MAGGOTface1313]

the way i see it if your a real fan you wont really care what the graphics or any thing like that im just happy i now finally have the chance to bring this home. instead of popping three hundred dollars of fucking quarters into the machine.

[RollingXstone92]

lol same here i immediatley spent all my money to get this game when it came out for wii. i loved it in the arcade and it was worth it this game rocks

[TehLeetShow]

Sega's dumb.

They should of put HOTD 1,2,3, and 4 into this game not only 2 and 3 that just makes it comfusing cause you neede to play HOTD 1 to understand everything.

[elgato8569]

Since these two games were just ported to the wii, it does not have the same popularity than when they came out to the arcades. It's a good deal for the price, but I have to agree with the guy reviewing this; RE: UC seems much better because it was specifically designed for the wii rather than just being ported to that system.

[rg2king]

f*** u it is more like 9 out of 10

[razorspawn]

i agree for us it's like an bible

i played 1 and despite of the graphics the game totally rocked most of the games i ever played

then i played 4 that was holy to me

[DDRSN2]

I am waiting for House of the Dead 4. That is an excellent game, and it would probably be funner than HOD2 and HOD3 because it is newer, although not THAT new. It came out in 2005, already old!

[prls]

i got it 2day and my gun cursores all over the place wont stay still is it the batterys the remote or what plz repiley some1

[rg2king]

it is your gun you need a new gun

[winta009]

well house of the dead games are realy designed for 2 players so even if you are playing house of the dead 2 its still great fun in two player

[shadowsofshadow]

XD we my father and i bought it already but you'r wrong about one thing this game is'nt lame it is kinda fun

[Squizzirrel]

Awesome D&B reference, why do women love those ticket things so much?

[acall2rise]

This game sucks. Don't buy it! I'd tried it yesterday and it's not even close to the Arcade ones. Resident Evil Umbrella kills this one hands down. Don't believe it, just try the two and you'll know what I mean. God, I'm trading this one in for $2 if I'm lucky. No wonder this game only costs $29! A real stinker.

[zubiac]

not even close to the arcade ones?

what the bloody hell are you talking about???

[kingofgamming]

Your review (to me) was pretty fair. It's basically (in reality) a game that was forced on to a console from the arcade. But since i'm a big fan of light gun games, this would be just perfect for me. I love the house of the dead serious and when i get my own wii, (which means it's mine, and only mine, and there's not a damn thing any person will be able to do about it for shit) this game is intended to be on my top 5.

Bottom line, a good review, and nice vid.

[wearafrown]

good review! I think the best game would be something right in between this and RE:UC. Hope Capcom makes a sequel and gets some inspiration out of this one.

[neverchris]

Thanks! I agree.

[enjoinit33]

im not saying i dont like it, but why are all your vids negative execpet for like one??

[neverchris]

I'm just critical. Besides, every game with a score higher than 5 is at least above average.

[enjoinit33]

lol, yeah i like them tho, keep it up man!

[tarkatans]

house of the dead two is not cheese.enemies do not throw cheap shots!

[kitethefallenangel]

I cant blame the scores. Every Light gun game that gets ported to a console gets a mediocre review anyway.

[RoanokeCandy]

Wow man, please find a new hobby. I had fun with this game when I was younger on the arcades, from what I see nothing has changed from it. Just because gaming in general has changed alot dosn't make this game any better or worse then it was in the arcades. I like it, go fuck yourself.

[neverchris]

You know, instead of dropping a decade and a half off your age and freaking out on youtube, realize that not everyone has the same opinion as you. Some games are better suited for an arcade experience rather than at home.

[dynastyxl]

8/10 wii's all about gameplay not graphics

[Wolfvie1]

It'd be awesome if Namco brought Time Crisis, Time Crisis 2 and Point Blank and Point Blank 2 to the Wii, I'd definatly buy that i'd be called like... Namco Classics Collection or something

[hotd34me]

relax dude, it was said in an interview that sega's developing hotd 4 for the 360 right now. they said if hotd 2 & 3 return sales go great, they'll port 4 to the wii as well!

[xg4bx]

why was there never a port of h.o.t.d. 4?

[JarrodDrover123]

RE:UC was so slow moving

[aguyok]

The joke about the girlfreind and the Greasy food was priceless. XD

[TheOnlyGreyarch]

You're right, games like that usually are only for the people that have played the original. Original games for the console based on the concept of those passed games are a better buy than ports.

[Isle0fRed]

yes RE UC is a better game, if only Namco brought Time Cris's to the wii then i would be in Hevean, do Manhunt 2 if you want gore

[Isle0fRed]

great reivew!! we want more
