House of the Dead: Overkill (Nintendo Wii)
The House of the Dead: OVERKILL charges you with mowing down waves of infected, blood-thirsty zombies in a last-ditch effort to survive and uncover the horrific truth behind the origins of the House of the Dead. Survival horror as its never been seen before, The House of the Dead: OVERKILL is a pulp-style take on the best selling, classic SEGA light-gun shooter series. Back when the famous Agent G was fresh out of the academy, he teamed up with hard-boiled bad-ass Agent Washington to investigate stories of mysterious disappearances in small-town Louisiana. Little did they know what blood-soaked mutant horror awaited them in the streets and swamps of Bayou City.
House of the Dead: Overkill (Nintendo Wii) Reviews
Sega has really upped the ante for the House of the Dead Series. I originally started playing HoTD games on the Sega Saturn and have been a fan for many years. House of the Dead Overkill is the best of the series, bringing a truely unique experience to the Wii console. This is not a game for children, it is rated mature for a reason. It has some very gory scenes of violence and adult language. That being said, I loved it and so will everyone who has ever liked HoTD in the past.

I have to say that I was a bit skeptical about this game. Being an on-rails shooter I thought it may be really basic and not hold my attention long. I was really wrong.
First, this game is NOT for children. It holds Guinness World Record title of most swearing in a video game with 189 counts of the "F" word. Not that it's bad, in fact it is so over-the-top it not only grabbed my attention, but pimp-slapped it and shook it around. Fans of Tarantino and Grindhouse style films will really appreciate the atmosphere. Everything from the artstyle to the music is designed to be fun, violent, in your face, but it never takes itself too seriously.
While the main story is a bit short, about 6 hours total, beating it once unlocks the "Director's Cut" which adds some addition "scenes" to each chapter of the game. This increases the difficulty a bit and also helps to make your second play through still feel fresh.
If possible, be sure to play with the official "Hand Cannon." Wielding this hefty, although plastic, imitation magnum revolver really adds to the overall feeling that you're out to blow some big holes through hoards of the undead.
Better yet, get two of them. Play with a friend or unlock dual-wield mode so you can literally use two Wii-motes (or Hand Cannons) at the same time.
If you want a lighthearted, fun, violent experience, I highly recommend this.

Even better than HotD 2&3? But bare in mind this one is much more violent and the language is a bit over the top. And that is what people should know about this game. It's all the way over the top. Hence the game's name. But as far as arcade-style FPS, this one is fantastic. And in terms of zombie action, outstanding. HOTD:Overkill is brainless, dumb fun. My sole complaint is the language gets old after a while.
The multiplayer and mini-games are great fun. The retro-grindhouse style may put some off, but HOTD isn't meant to be taken seriously. I hope for more HOTD games in the future.
