This is probably unlike any other shoot-em-up I've played so far.
User Rating: 8.1 | The House of the Dead 4 ARC
The House of the Dead 4 is...uhh...probably the 7th installment in the series, and a prequel to The House of the Dead 3. This time around, you'll get to use an Uzi (a small machine gun), and a few grenades. You can press the Grenade Button on the left-hand side on the controller to throw a grenade. Another cool thing about this game is that now the zombies don't always go and attack you straight away. They might grab you at certain times. When this happens, you can shake the controller vigirously to shake them off. If you don't shake them quick enough, you'll lose a life. Again, you can choose alternative routes like in the previous games. Some lead to less dangerous zombies, some lead to even tougher. Unless you've got the urge for a huge score (like Zero184), I suggest that you think carefully about the paths you choose. You can play as either James Taylor (P1) from The House of the Dead 2 or Kate Green (P2), the AMS agent before Lisa Rogan. As either of those two, you need to infiltrate various buildings and gather information about why this incident didn't end as we thought it would in The House of the Dead 2. Despite the fact that it's sometimes easy to lose lives, The House of the Dead 4 could be the greatest 3D shoot-em-up so far. Rumor has it that it might come out more the Wii. More on this as it develops...
