User Rating: 8 | The House of the Dead: Overkill WII
So I have spent about 28 hours or so with this game, sure it's not that long of a game, but it still is a lot of fun, and always trying to get that longest of Goregasms, is a great challenge. I went back to the House of the dead 2 & 3 for the Wii, and there really is no comparison. If you could ever get a Grindhouse movie like they were made in the 70's I would really want it to be just like this one. Everything truelly is so fitting for the feel of the game, music, graphics, story line, and the voice acting.

The voice acting is truly what makes this game. I'm not sure if anyone can recall a true grindhouse movie. (closest to come to a true comparison would actually be the grindhouse movies released by Quintin Tarrentino a while ago) I have seen a couple from the 70's, and the amount of F-bombs in the game is bang on. Music in the game is great. It really brings you into the times, and reflects the game.

Now the Wii is not a powerhouse, and everyone knows it, but I don't think this would be any better on the PS3, or the Xbox 360. For a true gritty experience the Wii is the perfect fit. I would to another one for the Wii, same style, it just worked so well for the series.

My only real issue with the game is it is short. Yes I realize that for it to work properly it needs to be short, but maybe a longer directors cut would have been nice, or even a couple of extra "chapters" could have been left out the first time through. The weapon choices were great also, but I still don't see myself using the minigun, except in the last chapter where it's provided. It just too slow to start, and if you over heat, ouch is all I can say.

I brought up House of the dead 2&3 that were released last year, and after playing through Overkill, I decided what the hell lets go back, and try them out one more time. UGH is all I can say, I can see why they needed to really take it a different direction this time. If they stuck with that formula it would have just tossed the franchise in the dumps. With this I am really looking forward to another of these.

Great game I recommend for anyone with a gun. (Also recommend the Nyko perfect shot for this game)
