If you want to extend your playing time through multiplayer, you have a few options. You can play through the campaign mode with another person or you can play a few mini-games with up to three other people. My friends and I tried out the mini-games and they were not too exciting. It was hard to tell what was going on with that many people playing at once.
I really enjoyed House of the Dead: Overkill and it is hard to explain why. The story and presentation of the game was interesting but I was not caught up in them. The game did not shock me with its violence or cursing, even though it tried its best. I think I found the game so compelling because it is pitched at a perfect difficulty. You can switch your brain off after a long day at work and blaze through some zombies, or you can obsess over getting to goregasm (the highest combo) and plan your shots carefully. The game’s control also fit perfectly on the Wii, this game is one of the best examples of the Wii’s capabilities.
If you are a fan of light-gun shooters or looking for some violence on the Wii you must play this game. If you are looking for a light-gun shooter to buy for the Wii, buy this one. If you are easily offended by extreme violence and language, you should avoid this game.
House of the Dead:Overkill is rated M (Mature) by the ESRB for Blood and Gore,Intense Violence, Partial Nudity,Sexual Themes, Strong Language.
