SummaryRun through "House of the Dead 2," but instead of firing a light-gun you type a word that is displayed onscreen in front of the creature attacking you. The faster and more accurately you type the words, the faster you'll kill the zombies and the higher you're score will be. [Empire Interactive]

One of the coolest Dreamcast games to date. Excellent challenges, nice visuals, and a surplus of bonus modes are contained within Typing but most of all, Smilebit has given Dreamcast maniacs something truly unique in making typing fun.

Extremely fun. And like Bill Cosby used to say, "You just might learn something by the time we're done."

A guaranteed sleeper hit. While its edutainment background seems at odds with the subject material, these two worlds collide rather splendidly.

Killer zombies, gushing green blood, scary monsters...give it a try and it'll give you the willies.

A strangely cool and addictive game. But we have to take a point off for what is sure to be a limited appeal.

If nothing else, Typing of the Dead is kooky, fun and inventive, and a worthwhile addition to any Dreamcast enthusiast’s library. Uh, provided you own one of those keyboards.

Without a doubt, this is the most fun you can have while increasing your typing speed. Zombies make good teachers.

This is by far one of the weirdest yet coolest games on the Sega dreamcast. this game mostly takes on the roll to teach how to type but it's one of the best games on the dreamcast when i heard of this game i was really confused about it but when I played it all was good. the game has a great story and good gameplay and many modes to play. the only problem i have with this game is the voice acting its dire. this was the main reason to buy a dreamcast.... well maybe sonic adventure but the point is it's a really good game.
