So, House of the Dead shouldn't be a full price game only because it's "House of the Dead", not because it's a game you can "beat" in 2 hours and a half. Now I understand |
No, they're just different types of game.
House of the Dead is a rail shooter that is best played with co-op. Once you beat it, you get the directors cut for some extra deleted scenes, but in my honest opinion that isn't worth playing through the entire game again. They added the golden brains and such, but that's just really for completists. Your average player won't play that game more than once through.
Punch-Out!! is another really short game that also happens to feature multiplayer. The difference with the multiplayer in Punch-Out!! and House of the Dead is that the House of the Dead multiplayer is the same linear experience that the single player is and is the same every playthrough. With Punch-Out!! it's more like a party game or a fighting game in that the sinple is quickly beaten but the value comes from playing again people (no co-op).
I'll let you judge the value of Punch-Out!! multiplayer, but that's a different topic entirely. This topic is still House of Dead: Overkill is in no way at all worth $50. Even playing though it again is only 5 hours and that's still a really short game that isn't worth $50.
