This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers
Sega's arcade light-gun franchise House Of The Dead ventures into the 70's exploitation genre with HOTD Overkill. There's zombies, stylish film effects, purposefully bad acting, and a generous helping of foul language and gore. There's 7 missions in the main campaign--each will take you about 15 minutes to beat. After that, you can go through it all again in Director's Cut mode, which extends each level with extra paths. The stock weapon is the pistol, but you can buy and upgrade several others: 2 different shotguns, a submachine gun, an assault rifle, ect. Compared to the HOTD arcade games, Overkill dials the difficulty level down a notch--it's not too hard to survive after you get used to the mechanics. The graphics are great for a Wii game (except for the occasional loading hiccup), and the soundtrack is perfect considering they are spoofing 70's films. If there's one thing wrong with Overkill, it's the fact that it's still an arcade-type game; there's really not much content beyond beating the 1-2 hour long campaign and trying out the small array of extras. It might not hold your attention for long, but HOTD Overkill is probably the best light-gun game available on the Wii.

Its was a decent game but the techno-ish music took away from the gameplay, and it could have been scarier without it or with a more erie soundtrack. The random one liners kept me from getting more into the game. It moves on rails and that dissappointed me, but it gives the game a carnival ghost-shooter ride feel. love the classic horror movie style cinematics.

while it has new gameplay and missions it gets old and since you shake the wii remote to reload since the remote vibrates when you shoot it "reloads itself" so to fix that i have to hold the gun against my chest to reduce the vibration but i still find it reloading itself overall it is an ok game though in example the graphics and things

House of the Dead: Overkill is an awesome Wii title. I imagined that most games on the Wii would've been like this when I bought the system (awesome feeling of being in an arcade), but they aren't and that's why this game stands out.
The shooting is done well, and it's really freaking fun with a friend in co-op. Picking one of the light-gun peripherals is a must. The game can be beaten in an afternoon with little effort (especially 2-player) but its always fun to revisit.
The funny, oddball, Grindhouse atmosphere of the game is what makes it shine for me. You'll be laughing and quoting this game for a while, and it's just great.

This game is perfect for: casual gamers
I loved House of the dead 2 nd 3. So i couldn't wait to play this game but once I got it I was bummed out. I was surprised but the language first of all, I wasnt expecting that from a Wii game but also it was dark and hard to see. It hasn't been my favorite shooter game so far. plus my disc kept skipping even though i bought the game brand new. Im not saying its the worse game but i felt it would've been better. The dectectives talking gets annoying way to fast too.

This game is much more better....
Posted 3/24/12
This game is much more better than House of the Dead 2 & 3 Returns Because The Wii Perfect Shot pistol works great with this game. I used to play this game back around 4 years ago and It was totally fun.

It could have been beter
Posted 10/12/11
Its ok, but it could have been better. It would be alot scarier if it didn't have the techno-ish music set to the levels and there were less one-liners, but what are you gonna do. the game is on rails which dissappoints me, but it gives it the feel of a carnival ghost shooter ride... but with zombies and stuff...
