3.0 out of 5 stars For people who like a challenge, January 29, 2003

First off, you should know that this game has practically no replay value. However, the first time you play it is a blast. It says that you can play with a buddy, fighting the forces of evil, but this is an awful way to play considering that one of the players has to use the keyboard to move the crosshair. That makes it virtually impossible for you to beat the final boss, because he moves so fast. Also, you should definitley not play if you get tired easily. You have to click the mouse like a million clicks a second, just to kill a regular boss. you can eaily get carple tunnel syndrome from playing this game too much. I found that I had to pause the game a couple of times, just to let my wrist rest for twenty minutes. I would give 4/5 stars on graphics. I see myself as a very skilled gamer, but even I had much trouble defeating the final boss. I probably spent a total of 2 hours playing this game. The game is not very realistic, but it is not supposed to be. I really liked how there are quite a number of different paths that you can take throughout the game. My mom really didn't like me playing this game...oh well. So, I gave it 3 stars because of its short gameplay, and inevitable pain, but i only bought it for 5 bucks at a store, so it was well worth it. Its not really a bad game at all. I say if you see it for $10 or less get it, but if you don't, get Time Splitters cheap on ebay.

4.0 out of 5 stars Way too fast., July 20, 2001

This review is from: SEGA House of the Dead 2 (CD-ROM)

This is a fun game but way too fast and does not allow enough time to shoot everything. It does not take long for your hand to get tired and the lack of a auto reload is irritating. It would be nice to be able to move your character and choose your own path as in Quake. This is a difficult game due to its speed. I have not been able finish the training mode. The graphics are great but the game would be much more fun if there was some way to slow it down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best played with the Light Guns, March 25, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: SEGA House of the Dead 2 (CD-ROM)

This is an arcade-perfect conversion of HOTD2. The graphics, sound, and gameplay are all top notch (assuming you like rail-shooters to begin with). In Japan, this game shipped with a light gun for the PC. But not in Europe or North America. However, you CAN play this game with the Act Labs PC USB light gun. You can even get two light guns and play two players! A friend of mine recently came to visit me, and we spent several hours a day shooting zombies together. It was every bit as fun, and so much less expensive than playing this game at the local arcade. If you like rail shooters, this is one of the best on any platform. Without a doubt, the best on the PC. You can play this game with a mouse, keyboard, or joystick/gamepad. But I highly recommend getting at least one light gun, if not two. It's how the game was meant to be played.
