Now here's a game I used to play with my mom true story. This was a rather unexpected game within the franchise. The team went for a more grindhouse style prequel game. You could argue how it's more of it's own thing to a degree. This is still among the best House of the Dead games I ever played!!! There's a great upgrade system that helps bettering your chances in later stages. I previously played the original Wii version. I missed out on the extended version for PS3. You play as one of two agents taking on the undead. Some mess up possibly offensive bosses. The game play itself truly solid from start to finish. You get a lot of nice content as you play the game. You can play co-op with an friend or family member. You also try your luck playing with two guns at once mode. There's an extended mode that I do enjoy more. The art design is among the most interesting in the franchise. The audio as a whole truly rememberable. This was a surprisingly decent rail shooter game for the system. Easily among my favorite rail shooters I ever played!!!

This game is hilarious. Is not the most polished game in the franchise, but the humor and the setting are fenomenal for this game. Remember having tons of fun playing this game with my sibling on the Wii back in the day. I would love having a modern and legal version of this game available to play.
My favorite game for the Wii by far, I would love to play this with a mouse. It would be even better if a VR port could be made of it but I will be happy to settle for a flat version.
So many fun memories of playing this with my dad on the Nintendo Wii. Even back then I could understand most of the humor, and it was an awesome experience. Would love to see it back and play with my old man again!
