Let me say this way: "losing your head" gets a whole new meaning when playing The House of the Dead -) Even though the only weapon you have is a plain 9mm-pistol, that thing obviously leaves holes in bodies in gory manners that are definitely not suitable for kids. As you are 'led' by the game around a place overcrowded with zombies and monsters of all kind, you will constantly be busy shooting, no more, no less. You, being the chip of the Hero, want to rush out to the place in order to free her. Your girlfriend Sarah leaves a message on your answering machine, telling you she has been captured by a guy called Curien. So all that is left to you is shooting on anything that moves :-) Think Rebel Assault on foot, and you'll have a good idea of what HOTD is about. All in all, the satisfaction that players get from shooting zombies makes for entertaining and highly enjoyable gameplay.The House of the Dead is a "rail shooter" - a kind of game I have not seen before on a PC platform although it is well known for arcade fans.įor those of you who aren't familiar with the expression "rail shooter": unlike the usual first-person shooters such as Quake, Doom and so on, in House of the Dead you are not able to choose the directions yourself, only where the game wants you to go. The sound effects of moaning zombies and deafening, rapid gunfire are also quite good, albeit a little monotonous at times. Whilst the graphics may seem a little dated, considering the fact that House Of The Dead III was first released in 2002, they are still rather good. Also, the shotgun available can take out several enemies at once, although unlike the standard handgun, it does have limited ammunition. Other good points to raise about House Of The Dead III is that it can be enjoyed as a two-player game, there is a Time Attack mode that enables players to upload their score to an online scoreboard, there are a variety of difficulty levels and there is no longer the need for players to point their weapon off-screen in order to reload. The constant suspense and the scenes of blood, guts and gore make for excellent and sometimes frightening gameplay. However, there are many times throughout the game when players will need to rescue their partner from zombie attacks. Unlike the first games, there are no civilians to rescue. A series of flashbacks are revealed throughout the game which tell the story of the zombie mutation and there are four different, but equally satisfying, endings that will depend on the players performance. The aim of the game is to enter the facility and find Thomas Rogan, all the time fending off the constant threat of attacks from zombies, gigantic mutants, deformed animals and mutated plants. Roy Curien and the inspiration for his medical experiments that led to the creation of the zombie mutation. Players can also choose to take on the roles of G and Daniel Curien, the terminally ill son of Dr. With the help of G, Thomas Rogan’s partner from the first game, Lisa Rogan goes to the EFI Facility to find her father. Roy Curien and is the main setting of the story. Set twenty-one years after the zombie outbreak of the first game, players discover that Thomas Rogan has vanished following a visit to the EFI Facility, which is a research centre owned by Dr. Continuing on from the first two games, players take on the role of Lisa Rogan, the daughter of Thomas Rogan, who was the main character in the original game. The greatest thing about this game is the excellent storyline. This well-known arcade game is the third instalment of the hugely popular House Of The Dead franchise, first introduced in 1996. House Of The Dead III is an addictive horror zombie-survival game.
