Description
About This Game
The House of the Dead: OVERKILL charges you with mowing down waves of
infected, blood-thirsty zombies in a last-ditch effort to survive and
uncover the horrific truth behind the origins of the House of the Dead.
Survival horror as its never been seen before. The House of the Dead:
OVERKILL is a pulp-style take on the classic SEGA® light-gun shooter
series. Back when the famous Agent G was fresh out of the academy, he
teamed up with hard-boiled bad-ass Agent Washington to investigate
stories of mysterious disappearances in small-town Louisiana. Little did
they know what blood-soaked mutant horror awaited them in the streets
and swamps of Bayou City.
• Pulp funk horror
Zombie cool at its finest as one of the most
popular shooter classics returns injected with a whole new retro b-movie
look
• An utterly in-your-face zombie-dismembering blast
Non-stop
light-gun shooting action on the Wii as you blow apart zombies for
high-score thrills
• Superb co-op action on Wii
Grab a friend and play the game as
intended in your own buddy action movie as two of the coolest characters
in video gaming
• Relentless, gore-drenched, over-the-top action
Only the
coolest, most cold-hearted agent’s going to keep his head against the
zombie flood. Use “Slow-Mofo Time” to make the perfect head-popping shot
and “Evil Eye” to spot moments of opportunity that’ll send the whole
environment up in flames
• Lighting quick Wii Remote reactions
Get knee-deep in the dead
with motion-sensitive Wii controls. Pump your shotgun, slam a fresh mag
home in that 9-mil and work your lever-action rifle. When the zombies
get too close, pistol whip their jaws off or cave in some heads with the
butt of your gun – all in sickening close-up range!
