IGN Ratings for The House of the Dead: Overkill (Wii)
RatingDescription
out of 10 click here for ratings guide
8.5 Presentation
The grindhouse feel is retained throughout, though the swearing can be a bit too much at times. Other than that, the characters are funny, script entertaining, and game hardcore in nature.
8.5 Graphics
The models are well made, body parts fly, blood sprays, and environments morph and change with scripted events. The frame issues keep it down, but all in all it’s still a great experience.
8.0 Sound
The music is well produced, but the VO can be too much at times, often using profanity just because they can. There are some level issues, but slow motion transitions are impressive.
8.0 Gameplay
The game plays well, though balance starts to shift to one-shot kills once you power up weapons. Bosses could be better, but classic House of the Dead gunplay is undeniably fun.
8.0 Lasting Appeal
Good old fashioned arcade fun. Added modes and three basic mini-games are included, though the real strength of the game will come from repetition through the seven levels.
8.3
Impressive

Also rating it above Umbrella Chronicles.

Which they gave a 7.9.



IGN are being more kind to the Wii as of late ...

the tides are turning!



 

Man, I'd love to buy this game... I'm just so poor right now.

Maybe I can scavenge up some money... maybe...

I can't wait to get my hands on this game though, I'm definitely feeling the void that came after beating Umbrella Chronicles. Looking good!



good score, some decent games finally
