4.0 out of 5 stars A fun arcade shooter, January 5, 2009

This review is from: The House of the Dead (Video Game)

I use to play The House of the Dead in the arcades,but this version isn't too bad,but it should of been better looking than this one.I blame the companies that didn't help support the Sega Saturn,this system was allot more powerful than the Playstation(main competition),but they barely had any third party support.

The problem with this game,it can be summoned up in two problems: the graphics and loading.The graphics are pretty bad and I don't care that much about graphics I play 2d fighters mostly.The loading is bad because it loads in the middle of the game instead of loading only at the beginning,that wouldn't be that bad.In 1998,their was barely any games released on Saturn,they weren't selling so they stop selling them in America.This game is rare and quite expensive and I don't think it's worth buying unless you collect it,if you just want to play it once in a while get the import version.I have an hdtv so I can only it on my mom's crt tv.I bought the Action Replay 4-in-1 and bought the import game and then the light gun and then you can play it.

Anyways,if you take out the bad graphics,this game is pretty fun,if you can save the person from getting killed or not,you can go in different paths.Just get the Action Replay or mod chip and the import version,so then its cheaper and it's even in english.

Pros: different paths to choose from,fun with 2 players,nice replay value,voice acting,Sega Stunner is the perfect light gun for this

Cons: green blood,loading time,bad graphics,too short like most light gun games,hard to find U.S. version

5.0 out of 5 stars First in the Series..., July 23, 2009

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: The House of the Dead (Video Game)

The House of the Dead (sometimes called Curien Mansion) series is amazingly awesome. Although this game is simple and graphic, every Saturn owner should have it, and if you own the Stunner or Light Gun for the Saturn, it just makes the experience more awesome! Warning: It's hard to find for a decent price, and they didn't make any remake like they did for the second one and the third one. This is the only version you can find of House of the Dead. Although it's a great game, it's not worth $50, so don't fall for the pricey claims.

This is one of the best light gun games ever. It is and will always be a classic. It is a most have for any saturn owner out there, who doesn't like shooting zombies? The problem is finding it, good luck.
