An Arcade Classic - By: Lucy Power, 29 Dec 2008 
I loved this when it was an arcade game & paired with a wii gun, this is simply acadetastic!
As mentioned by others, the graphics are a bit dated, but hell, who needs to see zombie detail. We know they're rotting & need to die - anything else?
I've had this for two days & already I'm looking for another gun to get that two player mode played.
great fun - By: George E. mingham, 15 Nov 2008 i have played the arcade house of the dead & it is an amazing game. do you have to use the wii nunchuk or is it just the wii remote.
thank you
Addictive and fun - By: billy chicago, 31 Aug 2008 Ok so it's old, the graphics aren't what you would call next generation & the voice acting is truely awful....... the thing is this game is what alot of games aren't anymore....FUN! If you played trhe old arcade games then you will love this & if you didn't you will probably still love it. blowing the heads off zombies is very theraputic. I've got umbrella chronicles too & although technically it's better it ain't a patch on this. who buys a wii for graphics anyway??? buy this now but not from amazon i got next day delivery from an ebay shop. woo hoo!
Why not The House of the Dead Trilogy??? - By: Stevie G, 20 Aug 2008 Thankfully, developers are beginning to realise that the Wii is perfect for light gun games. The House of the Dead series is one of the greatestin the genre, & the Wii conversion retains everything that made these games so specialin the arcades.
Graphically, nothing has been updated, so Part 3 obviously looks better than Part 2. A few modes have been bundled in, like Boss mode & a few tutorials, unlockable extras etc. But Arcade mode really is where its at.
There are multiple branching paths throughout each stage, which usually depend on whether a civilian is rescued or killed. This provides amazing replayability. On a similar note, those worried that unlimited credits wouold ruin this game need not worry. There is a set number of credits when played for the first time, & every failed attempt to complete either game, increases the number of credits available or the players maximum health. This really helps prevent sticking points, especially boss battles, or dying at exactly the same point again & again. Admittedly, the feature has been lifted from the PlayStation versions of Time Crisis, but a great addition regardless.
The co-op mode is also great fun & just like the arcade, player 2 can jump into the action at any time during play.
The House of the Dead 2 & 3 return is incredibly nostalgic for those who have played it, & still a fantastic light gun game for those who havent.
But would it have been too much to ask for the original House of the Dead as well? The House of the Dead trilogy would have sounded so much better too! But a small gripe with an otherwise brilliant package.
