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. Overkill is an over-the-top, B-movie, pulp fiction-style take on the House of the Dead series.
