The writing could be pretty funny, but the end was just kind of gross.Updated 1 Day Ago

House Of The Dead is a great series, but House Of The Dead overkill is something beyond that; despite the framerate drops it is the most graphically impressive Wii game of it's time and the fluidity of the controls and fast-moving gameplay push the hardware to it's limits without making a dent; not only that, but it has a great soundtrack with a 70's cheesy cop-show setup; HOW COULD YOU NOT LOVE THIS GAME?!Updated 4 Years Ago

Weak weapon feedback. Too realistic so that no arcade feeling. Feels like egoshooter.Updated 6.5 Years Ago

After a few straight up zombie shooters, first in the arcades and then on home consoles, House of the Dead Overkill is the latest and, in my opinion, easily the greatest, of this ongoing franchise. The reason I like this one the best is because it's the one that takes the inherent silliness of the franchise, which was always half-intentional and half-accidental, and blasts it up to 11. The characters are one-dimensional and have no real arc, but are so overdone in their clichUpdated 8 Years Ago

House of the Dead finally becomes self-aware of its own ridiculousness and embraces it. There are some hilarious lines in this game, though it does take it a bit too far sometimes with the misogyny.Updated 10.5 Years Ago

Holding the world record for the game with the most f*ck words. This game is made to reminds us of the old b-horror movies of the 1970's. This game is fun and the story is wacky and perverse, but all part of the fun! But other than that this game is the stock standard on the rails shooter with little no innovation which is a shame because it could have been amazing.Updated 11.5 Years Ago

It mightn't be perfect, especially in terms of challenge and basic longevity, but Overkill is a welcome rollick in the sort of shameless depravity most other consoles would blush at. Its stylish facade and rock solid core shooter mechanics packs enough visceral thrills and prude-baiting excess to keep you playing long after more respectable titles have lost their lustre. If you're looking for sophistication and depth, you won't find it here. Want to shoot things in the face and feel a bit dirty afterward though? The House of the Dead has opened its doors.Updated 15.5 Years Ago
