i have played the arcade house of the dead and it is an amazing game. do you have to use the wii nunchuk or is it just the wii remote.
thank you
Addictive and fun August 31, 2008
Ok so it's old, the graphics aren't what you would call next generation and the voice acting is truely awful....... the thing is this game is what alot of games aren't anymore....FUN! If you played trhe old arcade games then you will love this and if you didn't you will probably still love it. blowing the heads off zombies is very theraputic. I've got umbrella chronicles too and although technically it's better it ain't a patch on this. who buys a wii for graphics anyway??? buy this now but not from amazon i got next day delivery from an ebay shop. woo hoo!
Why not The House of the Dead Trilogy??? August 20, 2008

Thankfully, developers are beginning to realise that the Wii is perfect for light gun games. The House of the Dead series is one of the greatest in the genre, and the Wii conversion retains everything that made these games so special in the arcades.
Graphically, nothing has been updated, so Part 3 obviously looks better than Part 2. A few modes have been bundled in, like Boss mode and a few tutorials, unlockable extras etc. But Arcade mode really is where its at.
There are multiple branching paths throughout each stage, which usually depend on whether a civilian is rescued or killed. This provides amazing replayability. On a similar note, those worried that unlimited credits wouold ruin this game need not worry. There is a set number of credits when played for the first time, and every failed attempt to complete either game, increases the number of credits available or the players maximum health. This really helps prevent sticking points, especially boss battles, or dying at exactly the same point again and again. Admittedly, the feature has been lifted from the PlayStation versions of Time Crisis, but a great addition regardless.
The co-op mode is also great fun and just like the arcade, player 2 can jump into the action at any time during play.
The House of the Dead 2 & 3 return is incredibly nostalgic for those who have played it, and still a fantastic light gun game for those who havent.
But would it have been too much to ask for the original House of the Dead as well? The House of the Dead trilogy would have sounded so much better too! But a small gripe with an otherwise brilliant package.
 old school fun! July 16, 2008
i was very happy to see house of dead on wii, and was quick to make it one of my first purchases. ive spent hours, in the days, at arcades blasting zombies. i got the venom gun with this and once you calibrate the gun with your tv its simple. just point and shoot and kill. Brilliant!!!
Good stress reliever! July 6, 2008
This is a really good shooting game especially if you play it with one of the Wii guns that are on the market. Two games for the price of one you can't complain. Good arcade action that you can keep coming back too. I found its only downfall was there was no save option during gamplay but other than that I would say go and buy it.
