b_n's review of The House of the Dead 2
1001 Games - #325
Pros: varied enemy and boss attack patterns, accurate hit detection
Cons: absurdly bad voice acting, short duration, limited replay value beyond high score
Recommendation: as someone who is not a connoisseur of rail gun shooters, I can safely say that House of the Dead 2 is one of the best that I've played. While that may not be true for everyone, it is definitely one of the best HotD games, along with Overkill. Best played in the arcade using the plastic light pistol.
