"Overkill" is one of the best rail shooters on the Wii. It is a very profane and gory tribute to grindhouse movies. The game has more in common with Robert Rodriguez's "Planet Terror" than with previous "House of the Dead" entries. In between levels, you can upgrade weapons and purchase different guns. After you complete the story mode, the Director's Cut is unlocked which has extended levels and tougher enemies. You can also unlock concept art, movies, model viewers and remixed music tracks. There are also three mini-games that provide some fun challenges. Overall, I would rate this with an 8.2 out of 10.

This "House of the Dead" spin-off is a fun tribute to grindhouse zombie flicks. It's a fast-paced "rails" shooter that is best played in co-op mode. The crudeness and constant F-bombs will probably turn off some players. But if you loved "Lollipop Chainsaw" and "Left 4 Dead", then you'll enjoy the gory ride. As you finish levels, you'll unlock artwork and music tracks. And after you finish the story, you'll unlock a Director's Cut. In addition, there are a few mini-games that you can also play with a buddy. Overall, I would rate this with an 8 out of 10.

The atmosphere of the arcade in your living room spiced up with a grindhouse horror story. This is the best of shooter.

Lightgun shooter that revels in its own cliches in a similar way to Grindhouse that's reminiscent of boozy sessions on shooting gallery games in the local pub. Hardly the height of sophistication, but good fun to play.

Only buy this if you have a dirty sense of humour. It's crude, funny and has an abysmal frame rate. That's what it is though. A crappy, funny ,short shooter. It succeeds at that perfectly.

It’s a great game with fun high score based gameplay and a absolutely hilarious story. One of my favorite Wii games. The only problem I have is that the frame rate is kinda crappy at times.

Overkill is a very good way to describe this game. Cheesy horror, offensive humor. One of the most underrated games of all time. This was pure co-op fun. It doesn't offer much, but what it does it does extremely well.

Wii mote + accesori de pistola + aquest joc... una passada! Me'l vaig passar amb la meva dona fa un temps i ara de tan en tan el rejuguem, i val molt la pena! L'argument es bonissim, els personatges brutals, i el fet de poder tenir un joc arcade d'aquestes caracteristiques a casa teva... un goig!!

A great installment to the series, and personally my favourite. The final boss will have you questioning everything you have ever seen and leave you confused and disturbed beyond belief.

No other game I have played so far is as funny as this one. Everything that's in this game is fun, and it's quite rare for me to like every single character in a video game.

This game is overkill in every single way, and I loved it. It's gory, profane, misogynistic, and most importantly, hilarious. I was playing it with a friend, and when a certain female character came flying in on a motorcycle, engine vibrations causing her goodies to "jiggle", we busted out laughing so hard it woke his son up, upstairs. The game pokes fun at itself, and the culture of gaming in general. Unfortunately, it's an extremely short game, but the ability to purchase and level up guns adds a little bit of replay value. I absolutely don't want all my games to play like this, but House of the Dead: Overkill is an gloriously refreshing change of pace, and I enjoyed every second of it. If you have a sense of humor (a mature one, I guess), you should find this fun as well. Just don't let your kids hear it or they might have a few new vocabulary words to show off.

While I enjoyed playing through the game a couple of times, I really wanted more. I almost wish this game was a movie instead, because the parts I enjoyed most was the dialogue. I think one of the things that kept me so into the game my first play through was the desire to find out where this craziness heads. Story is all over the place, but in a good way, all you really need to know is â

Critics said it's good. Other critics said it'd **** good. GRAPHICS: It is like bringing the arcade game home, watching it bang a grind house film, then marveling at the abomination they produce 9/10. ADVENTURE: This story is **** brilliant.... as brilliant as it needs to be. 10/10 MECHANICS: So solid it'll rip your **** balls off.10/10 EXTRAS: Tell your friend he ain't ever seen this kind of crazy **** before and strap in for a few hours of Arcade on rails shooter classic minus all the damn quarters. 10/10 This game is what it is and it is all the **** way. If you like shooting zombies, cheesy horror, funk, and shooting zombies you will love this game!

This game is just awesome. Pure on-rails shooter goodness, with a plot and dialogue that doesn't even pretend to take itself seriously, which I appreciate. How many "serious" game plots have you experienced that just plain ****? I appreciate a well told story, but over 90% of game stories are going to be total junk, and so I appreciate that this game didn't even try. If you enjoy pointing your wiimote at the tv, pretending it is a gun, this is the best Wii game you could purchase, hands down. It's not a perfect game, but it is an awesome game. I paid full price for this game when it first came out and have no regrets, and now, with used game prices much cheaper, you can't go wrong picking up this game. Unless you're easily offended - this game still holds the record for most swear words in a game. It's all for the laughs though, so if you only like games you can take "seriously", stay away from this title.

It's a crappy rail-shooter with terrible dialouge, and a ridiculas plot. Waste of £30 you could use to buy a good game. The translation here is just evil. I'm a fan of the HotD, but I liked it for how stupid and nonsensical it was, here it's just trying to knot everything up.

While the setting here isn't anymore thrilling than any other HOTD game, it surely sets itself up nicely for comedic **** least for the first 10-15 minutes. While the gameplay is core to a game for obvious reasons, this is one of those games that may just drive you away with it's presentation. The gameplay in the game is flawless, but the sheer amount of swears being thrown around by the protagonists and others, will put more in more of a desperation mood, than one of fun. There are occasional Hiccups in the frame rate, but I've only noticed in them under 2 select conditions. 1. When transitioning to certain areas of each level, the Frame hitches momentarily to load the next part. 2. The use of the Auto or regular Shotguns brings in a HUGE amount of data for the game to process especially when done with multiple zombies or quick shots of succession. The developers were clever enough to sneak in the replay value in the form of competition. Should you choose to replay a given level, you will only receive cash if your performance this time, outdoes your performance last time, therefore not allowing the game to simply be spammed for guns at early levels. It also lengthens the game if your a completionist. Overall, if your into games for games, HOTD will only disappointed those looking for lengthy experiences as the game can be cleared in 4 hours. If you take into account everything going into the game, The Character dialogue will be your main gripe.

the best of way to describe house of the dead 4 is take robert rodrigues's grind house movie planet of terror and combine it with the original house of the dead game . what you get is some thing over the top rediculas and alot of fun . funny diolouge , fast action shoot em up , great boss fights , more guns , and much longer then the originals . the wiimote works perfectally for theese kind of games . if you own a wii and are wondering where are the adult games . then you need to get this game . it's a rare gem in the Wii's endless stockpile of crap shovelware .
