The end to all unbearable family-friendly cuddliness on the Wii? HotD: Overkill! You owe it to yourself!
Played through the campaign. About to tackle the now accessible "Director's Cut" next.
House of the Dead: Overkill is the better Grindhouse persiflage! Yes, that's in reference to your mediocre try, Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez. The music is excellent, the writing and story are super-awesome. Both aspects are authentic to the grindhouse genre, if you can guess what I am hinting at :) Admittedly the gameplay doesn't hold any surprises for rail shooter afficionados and unfortunately suffers from occasional slowdowns (based on the final PAL release version I have lying around here - seriously Headstrong Games, WTH?). Nevertheless, in my view the title certainly has potential to become a cult hit. I'm very impressed by the game's level of polish. Here's to hoping that core gamers discover this little gem and titles for a mature audience become common on the Wii :) Cheers!
