After playing the shooting game in Rayman Raving Rabbids I knew that I had to get another shooting game for the WII so I pre-order House of the Dead 2 & 3. I was happily surprise to receive the game a couple days before the estimated arrival date and let me tell you, we play the game all night long. The game is just like the arcade game in which your character moves on their own and your only real task besides saving people is to shoot zombies and have fun. It seems this game is a direct port of the game that was in the arcade so the graphics are just as good as the graphics for video games during that era (1990's). Graphics for House of the Dead 3 are much better then the graphics for House of the Dead 2 but anyone that has a Wii didn't buy it for its great graphics ability, they brought it to have fun which this game delivers. The only thing that sucks is just like the arcade game, you always start from the beginning of the story, there no save points. After long play our wrist started to ache due to the way we held the Wii remote to shot and I recommend getting a gun adapter such as the Wii Perfect Shot (which I plan to get).
Stop shooting my zombie!!

I loved the original in the arcade and now I can play my favorite game anytime. Maybe I'm wrong but my whole family plays this game including my 11 yr olds. Everybody enjoys shooting the zombies and watching the splatter. You can leave the blood green or switch to vibrant red. I'm sure George Romero would be proud. With 2 player action you'll hear a lot of "Quit shooting my zombie!"
good

this is a good buy. you get the classic house of dead 2 along with 3. House of the dead 2 is an ok game but 3 is so much better.
Great Game for $19.99 Can't beat the price!

This is a classic shooter game! I decided it was a no-brainer to buy it at $19.99 when Amazon dropped the price from $29.99 to $19.99! Graphics are not up to date but for $19.99 you can't beat 2 games in 1. As I'm writing this review Amazon bumped up the price to $29.99.
Worth the buy.

I greatly enjoy playing this game. House 2 is great but part 3 is much better. I really wish they would have paired up the game with the Perfect Shot gun but it was cool. I purchased the gun seperately and received both within a day of each other.
Good game overall

This is a great game for fans of the arcade version. When played with the Wii Perfect Shot gun, it simulates being in an arcade again. One of the bonuses of the game (arcade mode) is you can advance your skill because the game doesn't just end if you die once...you are allowed multiple tries before the game really ends.
Very Fun!

First of all these two games are really fun especially with friends. Second it's a great deal because if you were to play these games in an arcade it would easily cost you $10 to finish both just once. House of the Dead 2 has N64 graphics and horrible voice-overs but is still really fun to play with friends. House of the Dead 3 has better graphics (not good but decent) and is fun because you get to use shot guns instead of pistols. After beating either you will unlock bonuses. In Hotd2 you unlock boss mode and in Hotd3 you unlock extreme mode. I do agree with other reviews how its annoying not being able to just put some more quarters into the machine when you die (especially after playing them in an arcade because every time you die you think WHERE ARE MY QUARTERS!). Overall this is a must have game for the Wii and goes great with either the zapper or the perfect shot.
