ok, I know everyone loves lists, but you guys including House of the Dead as a potentially great game are funny. UC wasn't very good, and it had the RE license.
Not everyone likes arcade shooters but surely that doesn't mean it can't be a great game, does it? I also don't see what RE:UC has to do with this, cause it isn't even a real lightgun game. House of the Dead 2+3 already is much better than RE:UC, let alone Overkill. |
reviews are about equal. Whatever you say, though. It will have the same gameplay and it's hardly a hotly anticipated title worthy of a short list.

Well I can tell you that it is for me. I have it in pre-order. I'm surely not the only one.
It WON'T have the same gameplay. There's a significant difference between having a mandatory crosshair (RE:UC) and not having it (HotD).
Also lightgun shooters are a hardcore genre that has been revived by Wii, of which I'm very glad, so despite you clearly not liking the genre I really don't see what the negaitivity around the genre/game is all about. I absolutely hate hack & slash games, yet you'll never see me saying that GoW or DMC aren't supposed to be on a list of great games.

alright, fair enough, to each his own. It's just that, to me, including that game as a big exclusive shows the lack of quality titles in store for the Wii. but hopefully you are right and it's better than RE:UC (although I did like the story recaps because I hadn't played all of the REs).
As for liking the genre: I think it can be really fun. I have the top score in Area 51 ( the original) on several arcade machines...or at least I used to since I haven't checked lately. I'd buy a port of that, but I'd need the controls to be more precise than UC.
