Officially the most profane game every released. The worst zombie B movie you can imagine. About 2 hours to play through in standard mode (will try directors cut tomorrow).

One of the funniest games I've ever played.


I think I shall base a drinking game around it. Every time the game uses the F-Bomb, the player must drink. Could be dangerous...

Whats it on?

I love the House of the Dead games, just great old school fun. HOTD 2 on Dreamcast had me addicted to the point were I could reach the final boss on an arcade machine.

I have it on Wii but I think it was also on other consoles. Personally I love it, a proper old skool shooter thats been crossed with a Quentin Tarantino/b movie

Plus I bought the "hand cannon" wii remote holder thing smile

Agreed, this is a brilliant game. Remember to put the extra mutants on, and get a shotgun and an SMG. Always a good one for some late night play if a mate is over helping thin out your whisky collection...

Playing it on Wii.

Pistols and shotguns are the current favourite combo...

This is the only game the wife will play with me. She loves the gore.

However, we both felt a little sick after watching the final cut scene. vomit

LOVED IT.

That was a bit grim, though their lengthy explanation for it was brilliant.
Good game, too.

Brilliant game!

Girlfriend and I played it for hours on end, the soundtrack is perfect as well.

Went and bought HOTD 2 and 3 to try and get a little more of the same but they are vastly different.

Looking for more Wii shooters but there doesn't seemt to be much else frown

Try Ghost Squad. It's very arcadey/light guny fayre, but it's entertianing enough. Especially in 'paradise' mode.

Yeah, Ghost Squad is good. For more Zombies Resident Evil 4 is great...
