The game's story mode won't take a lot of time to beat, and the extra mutants mode (they're not called Zombies) will make it more chalenging. You can buy guns to use in later chapters, but it will take a while to buy guns and upgrades, requiring multiple playthoughs to unlock just the guns. You can also shoot grenade pickups, and time slowing powerups. The gameplay itself is much in the style of the standard House of the Dead games, with the goal of trying to rack up a high score and kill chains.
HOUSE OF THE DEAD OVERKILL MOVIE
Even the chapters are highlighted by movie posters. The game also has touches that call back to cheesy movies, from the horrible stereotyped villain, the running gags (what dose that "G" stand for anyway?) scenes that aren't consistent with each other (the scene where Jasper gets his glasses knocked off, and is still wearing them in the next scene), and even the realist film grain on the screen while playing, all make it feel like a bad movie, in a good way. But, keep in mind, this is true to the style of the 70s horror cash ins. If you can be easily offended, this game may not suit you. However, the game can offend some people, with the Samuel L Jackson wannabe spewing obscenities every couple of seconds, the dark sense of humor, and some of the gross out moments (especially near the end).

And if you're a fan, of either Grindhouse movies or House of the Dead, you may want to check this game out.
HOUSE OF THE DEAD OVERKILL FULL
Read full reviewĪ fun game, and parody of 70s horror, but not for everyone.Ĭoming off the Grindhouse craze of Death Proof and Planet Terror, Sega made this game in the same style of 1970s Grindhouse trash. Get this game at a good low price and you will be glad you did, just don't leave it laying around where kids could play it. It is easier to play the game with just the Wii remote instead of using a pistol or rifle adapter, because the reload button is on the top of the remote. The mini games are nice, but not very engrossing. You will find this game to be a bit too short and a bit too easy to complete, but it does have replay value and a harder difficulty setting. I myself did not mind the cursing and thoroughly enjoyed playing this game solo and with friends, but then again, I don't have children. It is supposed to be set up like some '70s B-movie, and that part of the game was novel and sort of funny. That being said, this game takes a Quentin Tarrantino, dialogue driven approach, where the developers went out of their way to include cursing and nasty comments. It does feature G from previous House of the Dead games and is an arcade shooter in the same vein as the previous House of the Dead games. House of the Dead, Overkill is a reboot of the House of the Dead Franchise. Two-player cooperative play is supported, for side-by-side shooting.įun Shooting game, wholly inappropriate for children

The motion-sensitive controls also play a role when the creepies get too close for comfort: with a swing of the controller, players can pistol-whip a zombie or smack back a mutant with the stock of their shotgun. The action is set to a rousing pace, with swarming undead and surprise attacks to keep the tension on edge. The play mechanics are of the on-rails shooter style used in other House of the Dead games.Īs in the well-received House of the Dead 2 & 3 remake for Wii, players aim and fire using the Wii Remote, while their characters automatically move forward through the level, pausing at key locations for special challenges and scripted events. The lead character quips sardonic comments and macabre jokes, and innocent civilians flee the carnage as he blasts a swath of righteous gore through the writhing hordes. Played from a first-person perspective, the game's seemingly simple goal is to shoot at the zombies, mutants, and other unearthly horrors that come into view, before they can get close enough to take a bite.
