House of the Dead: OK Impressions

[averyblund]

Hey All- I picked up Overkill and Deadly Creatures this afternoon and am through the first chapter of House of the Dead- Here are some impressions.

 

Graphics- Nice graphics, good use of lighting, the kills are pretty juicy and explosive. Texture work is good, not amazing. Models are quite nice. The art sytle is top knotch, this game has just great production values.   8.4

Sound is good, weapons sound solid and explosive. Soundtrack is fitting and high quality. 8.5

Gameplay- Frantic, zombies are quiter agressive and the camera perspective is fast moving. A real challange to avoid being hit at times. Unlimited continues is a nice feature to make the game more accessable.  This is a very good light gun game. 9.0

 

I did find one minor irratation, while the camera is changing perspective there is a split-second pause which doesn't effect gameplay but can at times take you out of the game. Luckly the framerate seems solid.

 

So far I'm not far enough to report on anything but the first level, but so far I am quite impressed. Now its time to give Deadly Creatures a shot!
