The House of the Dead: Overkill - Extended Cut

« We absolutely loved this zombie-splattering rail shooter when it first shuffled into existence on Wii in 2009 - and it's every bit as enjoyable on PS3 with added Move support. [Dec 2011, p.96] »

« For multiplayer, this game is a strictly a 2-player affair but if you manage to finish the game, it does open up a Director's Cut version that allows you to purchase additional guns with a couple of new levels. Add in bonus artwork, online leaderboards, 3D models and a few other collectibles and there's definitely some replay value here. »

« The House of the Dead: Overkill - Extended Cut mocks women, the disabled and racial minorities. It's astoundingly gory, gruesome and profane. »

« Again – I was completely blown away by how much fun this game offered, as the style generally isn't that appealing to me. The experience here is the real deal sealer – if you're a fan of explotation films, gratuitous violence and gore then this game is the one for you. »

« As far as light gun shooters go, this is one of the few that I think is perfectly suited to the home console environment. »

« House of the Dead Overkill Extended Cut is the ultimate version of Overkill and is quite a good buy if you're a fan of on-rails shooters. »

« If you played the original Overkill on the Wii, I'm not convinced the extended cut is worth paying for again, even with its forgiving $40 price tag. Despite being by far the superior version of the game, the upgraded HD visuals don't overcome Overkill's age and wouldn't have been impressive back in 2009. »

« The House of the Dead: Overkill: Extended Cut adds more content to a raunchy, entertaining romp. If you got tired of Detective Washington's non-stop cursing while playing it before, you'll find no reprieve here. But if you've never experienced it, or you're hankering to test drive it in HD, it's well worth your while. »

« This is an enhanced PS3 remaster of the Wii game. Along with the HD graphics and improved frame rate, it also includes two new levels, more mutants and the option to play in 3D . The best way to play the game is with the Move, but you can also use the Dual Shock controllers. Overall, this is a fun on-rails shooter that is extremely profane and very gory. It's more comparable to Robert Rodriguez's "Planet Terror" than with the previous "House of the Dead" entries. I would rate it with a 7.8 out of 10. »

« This HD remaster of the Wii game includes plenty of extra content. The game itself is like a Suda 51 version of "The House of the Dead". It takes on the form of grindhouse exploitation filled with non-stop F-bombs and adolescent humor. Along with the original game, you get the Director's Cut, three extra modes and unlockable content including modifiers. Best played with a partner, the game also utilizes the Move peripheral and 3D effects (if you have a 3D TV). This is easily the best of the "House" franchise. I would rate with a 7.7 out of 10. »

« Way over the top acting,but the game mechanics & modes are official. Still fun, to this day. The story is a weird one, but worth seeing it through, at least 1nce. »

« with the controller its just another game, but with the ps move (inside gun attachment, or riffle) its one of the most fun i ever had with a video game!!! only issue is the infinite continues, at least have check points? nope instead you get to continue where you last died indefinitely, thats the only issue with the game »

« One of the most famous arcade games gets an episode exclusive for consoles, would it become a reference as a console rail shooter ? First graphically the game is a port from the wii version and therefore almost seems as a PS2 game, at least there's no glitch. As for the gameplay the game is best played with the PS Move (even if it is possible to play with a controller, eventually good for coop) with responsive controls, unfortunatelly there's nothing new in the world of rail shooters. Content wise the story plays out as a classic grind movie, a genre with to few defenders in the video games world (in my opinion), it would have been better if the actors weren't that bad but at least there's some good punchlines along the way. The game will last approximately 6 hours which is very short and the "extended cut" is in fact only a mode that you'll unlock after finishing the game once allowing you to replay the SAME levels withs a few more rooms and therefore not very interesting, as every arcade game the replay value is based on the scoring but if you're ego doesn't need to be in the first place the game is very short. In conclusion a fun trip but very short and with nothing outstanding (except maybe nice boss fights) make House of the Dead Overkill a fun co-op game to play but not advisable for solo players that are looking for a rich experience. »

« One of the bests games in the serie for me Sega need to release a continuation of this series I also enjoyed and may have a strong connection with others in the series mostly good humor of our Agent Washington haha. »

« Messed up and in need of soap down the mouth but this game is so much fun the swearing adds to the grindhouse feel. Well recommended even if you only have the standard PS3 controller. »

« Well, some things will justificate this 8. This game may not be the best zombie shooting game but it is one of the best move games i played, and why? Because it is fun, has multiplayer split screen and a lot of achivements and extras in this game. I would give a 7 but because of the 3D and the split screen it turned out great. This game is funny and creepy, other aspects that made me give this 8 to the pointless but laugh a lot plot. Don't try to play this will your dualshock controller, it's just useless. »
