House of the Dead: Overkill for Wii Reviews by Gamers

I wasn't expecting much from this game, but wound up being pleasantly surprised. The storyline & cut scenes were almost just as entertaining as the actual game play. While it was somewhat cheesy acting and voiceovers, it was still funny to watch at times. Keep in mind, it has EXTREMELY explicit language and/or song lyrics so this one is definitely not for the kiddies (especially since its on the Wii).

Gameplay was fun, but I pretty much beat the whole game in about 5 days. The key to having more fun with it is going back (after completing it) and earning more money in order to obtain & upgrade bigger and badder weapons. That is where some of the fun comes in later on & REALLY begins.

Overall, I'm glad I rented this one over actually buying it. A great rental title & definitely worth checking out.

Make sure you keep the kids away from this one, definitely for mature audiences only.

I'm not a big fan of House of the Dead games (or any light gun style game for that matter), but this one is amazing. The gameplay is thoroughly satisfying as you dismember mutant zombies in a cool stylistic "Grindhouse" setting. If you love B-movie horror shlock get this game immediately, you won't be disappointed.

There's lots of extras and challenges to keep you coming back as well, with plenty of new guns to buy and upgrade. The production values are top notch, great to see this sort of effort on the Wii.
