Alot of fun, Way too hard
User Rating: 8 | The House of the Dead 4 ARC
Gameplay: This game is HARD, there are a lot of zombies that appear at once and they all move pretty fast. To take them down you have a SMG and grenades. You’ll probably want to use you’re gun though, because to throw a grenade you have to find a tiny button on the front left-side of your gun. By the time you find it and press it, your character will probably have been bitten before he throws it anyways. Luckily, being hit doesn’t always make you lose a life, sometimes you are able to shake off your adversary (by shaking the gun) before it bites you, bun most of the time you don’t get the chance to. Since there are so many enemies, it’s too hard to throw grenades and many of the stronger enemy groups move too fast to kill, you’re going to need a partner. A partner will make this game a lot better, you can actually throw grenades without being bitten and kill the kill the stronger enemies in the later levels with your SMGs. You’ll have allot more fun with another player
Graphics: The graphics are amazing, they look a little bit better than Doom 3’s. There also ALOT zombies on the screen at a time.
Sound: The voices are much better than the ones on the previous games, but the game seems to be very quite in the middle of the action compared to in the cut scenes.
Value: At 4 tokens for 3 hits on such a hard game the value isn’t that high. It’s still worth a try though; it’s a lot of fun, especially in co-op!
Reviewer’s Tilt: Although its so hard and expensive, its still is fun and that’s what matters. But, I would probably prefer it over Police 911 if they where to give you 2 more lives per play.
