The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Ok for once in my life I offer you an amazingly short review, which is brimming with goodness and awaiting your omnipresent criticism and opposal! And they say cheats never prosper...(well done Edgy!)
Righty, I'm posting it here, not to annoy you, but because Special Reserve refrain from selling this title for the Dreamcast thus here it shall go!
'This is not resident Evil'
House of the Dead 2 arrived on Dreamcast just after launch to rave reviews and applause, thanks to it being converted perfectly from the fantastic arcade game! It now remains one of the best gun games around, and the only one in fact (until Confidential Mission arrives) to let you shoot the screen!
The package with the gun is essential, as the controller alone doesn't fit the bill, however if you're flashy enough to own the 100hz Sony huge widescreen television then hahaha, you can't play with the gun! Anyway, with the idea of shooting your way through the game to achieve whatever it is you feel you've accomplished, ignoring the typically awful acting and muffled voices, blasting away zombies and monsters that appear from everywhere, I think they even named some of the characters!
The graphics are nothing short of spectacular without any jaggedness at all (PS2 owners take note: games without graphical promlems as well as housing good gameplay are 'better', 'better' you see? D'oh I have a PS2!) HOTD2 is a visual feast! Two of you can play, or if you've been locked in a room on your own, then you can play on your own, but I thorougly recommend selecting the two player option, aside from the reason that the game always instructs you 'do not go into the house alone', playing the 2 player game, with one of you playing - with two guns, can be quite funny actually!
Honestly though, it's not at all scary, just really great fun! Definitely one of the top-ten Dreamcast games and an essential purchase for all, let down slightly, only by the shortness. Get it! Seeing as SR don't sell it, they won't mind me saying that it's just £24.99 from Sega Europe ;)
There, you see? I'm not bitter and I can write less than a thousand words for a review!!!
(What do you mean 'get some sleep!'?)

Well, I think the XBox version of House of The Dead - perhaps it's number 3, or maybe Sega will continue their trend of naming their sequels 'next' or 'future' and call it House of The Dead next, oh well anyway, I reckon it'll be superb as long as there's an online mode!!! Anyway... A house of the dead ride would be good - just like the MIB ride in Orlando!
I've got hotd2....it's okay i suppose but i don't find it very special....
it's too short...
i don't like the futuristic zombies at the end...
the voice acting is the WORST EVER...yes it's that bad
i don't particularly like those extra missions....for example it is bloody difficult just to get past the barrel stage using a light gun (i did it using the joypad)....
mind you it is quite fun if you feel like shooting something...
er...enough moaning from me though....
