The House of the Dead 2

The story for this game is pretty good. The bad guy in it is cool.. The bosses are loads of fun. House of the Dead II is one of the best gun games you can find for a system.
The zombies in these are cool. Any part of there body you shoot one part of them gets blown.

This is one of Dream cast strong holds before it lost it's popularity in the US.

This game is excelent for DreamCast owners...

Other games of choice
Sonic Adventure
Sword of Berserk
Spawn:In the demons hand
Soul Calibur

If you have a DC go out and get this game. It rocks!

A mixed blessing for lightgun fans, but fun none the less.   February 11, 2003
Well, this is a bit tricky. Ya see, as far as light gun shooters go this is by far the best I've ever seen on any system, at any time. On the other hand, some things are just plain awful. Well, lets start with the good.

The graphics are just plain jaw dropping. The backgrounds and environments are a little simple, but the zombies and the way they react to being shot is insane. The first time I saw this game I couldn't believe me eyes. The sheer amount of enemies, the fast pace, the gruesome look. You won't really notice the bad when you're looking through the sight of a gun blasting down anything that moves trying to stay alive.

The way zombies react to being shot is amazing. You'll have to pump several rounds into the body to kill one, usually blasting a hole clean through them. Even a well placed headshot may not do the trick though, as some zombies will keep coming at you even with half their face blown clean off. Others are armored and armed to the teeth and know how to use tools for protection. It makes it quite interesting.

So far as zombie graphics and good shooting fun go, this game is simply unmatched. Story wise however, it fails so hard it hurts. The script and voice acting is just atrocious. One of the worse in video game history. I don't know if it's meant to be some kinda B movie joke, but it's not funny. It's just, plain, awful. Thankfully you can skip it all and save yourself the headache.

Sadly you can beat it in a single 30 minute sitting or so, but these games are never really all that long. A training mode adds some length, but that doesn't last long before it just gets dull. This isn't a deep game, this isn't genre busting... it's just a good and fun ol' fashion shoot em up with some gruesomely cool gore. I still play it whenever I'm in the mood for something different, and for the most part it's still a lot of fun. That's a lot of replay value. If you can still find it, it's real cheap these days. Great game to play with friends and after Trigun marathons. Well worth the sub $$$ range.

Let the Zombie Killing Begin!   November 25, 2002

After purchasing a light gun and this awesome game from a friend of mine I expected hours of gleeful, gory, adrenaline-pumping action. I was not dissapointed. This [kickin']game delivers the goods. Location-specific damage on your enemies, making it possible to blow off limbs and heads which is just as fun as "Soldier of Fortune". The variety of zombies is great (Gotta love the axe-throwing dude) It offers quite a challenge in parts of the game (Mostly bosses, which are definently killer) The music is excellent and goes perfectly with the action and the sound-effects are superb. Oh, have I mentioned the graphics are absolutely incredible? Everything in the game is nicely detailed, the character animation is flawless,the voice-acting compelling and with the many alternative paths and areas to explore, there is also tons of replayability. Simply put, this game rocks and is one of the best titles on the Dreamcast. If you don't have this game yet, I would highly suggest getting a hold of this as soon as possible. Long live, Sega Dreamcast!
