Forums - Nintendo - House Of The Dead Overkill 8/10 Eurogamer

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/the-house-of-the-dead-overkill-review

 

- Plastic guns are crap

- Some bosses are easier than others

- Overall awesome action, never boring

- 3hrs long but replays have new areas and stuff to do



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

I've got it pre-ordered, so I hope it gets good or even better scores than this! Can't wait to kill moar zombies.

Add me for Pokemon, New Leaf, and Fire Emblem, Mario Kart 8.

This game comes with a gun peripheral for the Wiimote?

I love arcade shooters, this game should be an eventual pickup for me. I loved HOTD for a long time. I used to play it during my lunch breaks when I worked at "Dave and Busters".



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

Hey yeah I saw this game comes with a gun! Well, why would anyone take a plastic pack-in into consideration when reviewing a game it comes with? :s Besides, it's free. Still, nice to hear it turned out to be a good game. I'll definitely be getting this. :)

8 from Eurogamer is very good, i was sold on this game ever since i saw the first trailer, so i am glad it is getting a good review.

Damn it, I told my wife I was only gonna buy 1 game a month from now on and I already got tenchu (which kicks ass). Oh well I'm sure she won't mind if I cheat a little for the first few months of the year. theres gaming to be done!

This makes me happy in the soul. There were rumors of it getting like a 3 from some Swedish magazine, so this makes me quite pleased.



My Games of 2011:

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Super Mario 3D Land

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

Hmm.. is this selling at full-price?

I was thinking about ordering the edition with the guns, I won't bother now, I'll just stick with a naked Wii-mote.

I'm a massive fan of House of the Dead I and III.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Hmmm this is gonna be tough. On one hand I love HoTD, and it seems to be a good game, on the other hand though 3 hours for a full priced game is a little steep. Yes I know it is a light gun game, but considering most of them have been $30 this might have to wait until a price drop from me. Either way I am glad it was made and will certainly get it at some point.
