Summary: If you like shooting or horror vid games, GET THIS
Review: "The House of the Dead" & its sequel were smash-hit arcade games. Now you can blast those zombies & demon creatures all day @ home. And this version comes with cool extras like Boss Mode, Arcade Mode, & Original Mode. I love picking up all those cool secret "Infinite Credits" bonuses. Get the player's guide for cool tips & tricks to obtain bonus items!!!! HOTD2 is one of the best video games EVER!!!Oh Yeah, Magician is my favourite boss. He's the fireball-shooting demon with exposed muscles from THOTD, back for revenge. I beat him in less than a minute, No Joke!!!!!!

Summary: Best played with the Light Guns
Review: First off, you should know that this game has practically no replay value. However, the first time you play it is a blast. It says that you can play with a buddy, fighting the forces of evil, but this is an awful way to play considering that one of the players has to use the keyboard to move the crosshair. That makes it virtually impossible for you to beat the final boss, because he moves so fast. Also, you should definitley not play if you get tired easily. You have to click the mouse like a million clicks a second, just to kill a regular boss. you can eaily get carple tunnel syndrome from playing this game too much. I found that I had to pause the game a couple of times, just to let my wrist rest for twenty minutes. I would give 4/5 stars on graphics. I see myself as a very skilled gamer, but even I had much trouble defeating the final boss. I probably spent a total of 2 hours playing this game. The game is not very realistic, but it is not supposed to be. I really liked how there are quite a number of different paths that you can take throughout the game. My mom really didn't like me playing this game...oh well. So, I gave it 3 stars because of its short gameplay, and inevitable pain, but i only bought it for 5 bucks at a store, so it was well worth it. Its not really a bad game at all. I say if you see it for $10 or less get it, but if you don't, get Time Splitters cheap on ebay.

Summary: Guts, gore, blood, mindless action, and cheesy voice acting
Review: House of the Dead 2 is a very bloody game. if you are squeamish and hate the sight of blood, do not buy it! i mean, if you have a big monitor and shoot zombies like crazy (btw there are a lot of them) there will be a bloodfest. the gameplay is a bit repetitive. all you do is repeatedly aim, shoot, and reload with an unlimited supply of ammo. there is a story to the game but the voice acting to present it is really bad. hearing "Don't come!" and "How could anyone do this?" lifelessy is kinda bad. max payne has better voice acting. but get this game for the computer if you like the arcade version. at 50cents per game at an arcade, paying 10-20 bucks for this game is not bad.

Summary: Killing the undead is a defenseless crime DAMN IT!
Review: I don't know why but killing things that are already dead is just plain fun. So you won't have any regards to what you are doing, like "Are you okay?" and "Geee, I think he's dead". The game has some good graphics and is fun, when you have a gun because it is much easier to pay with than the Sega DreamCast controlers. The zombies have green blood in the begining but when you bet the game a couple of times you can change the blood to red. The orginal mode is from far the easist from statge to stage. For first timers it will take you a couple of days to beat it. You will have the benefit to hear bad voice recordings that are really low. For experts of the game it will take less than 40mins to beat it. Don't buy a gun, this is the only shooting game for the DC and you will just waste your money on it.

Summary: Frustrated beyond belief
Review: I have tried about a dozen times to get this program to work on my computer without any success. I have telephoned the folks at Activision twice and gone on line to make sure I have the correct minimum requirements on my computer for this game. We have several other computer games with graphics that work quite well, but all we get on this one is a black screen. The folks at Activision finally told us we could send the game back, not for a refund, but for an "exchange". Not interested. If we had this much trouble with HOTD, we don't want to risk anything else.
