THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD: Remake is precisely that, a remake of one of the most iconic and best rail-shooters of all time. In terms of core gameplay and story, there isn’t much; however, the touch-ups are all that was needed for a perfect refresh.

the memories that i had going to arcades and sucking really bad at the game came back to me. it was even worse without a light gun. definitely feels like it misses a ton without one.

Read moreHonestly just a waste of money. As a long time fan of the House of the Dead series, this game is honestly the worst out of the entire series. This game feels so soulless and the game has little to no content. You can beat the entire game and see everything there is to see in under 1 hour. The whole game just feels like a big middle finger to the HOTD series as a whole. Although this game is a remake, this game is too faithful to the original. Every single enemy you fought in the 1st game you will fight in this game. They could have at least rehauled some of the gameplay but no, the bosses are just as easy and just as boring as before. You will beat every boss in less than 30 seconds and there are no unique mechanics. The only time you will find yourself taking damage is by something flying at you offscreen or when you are given little to no time to react. All in all, just don't buy this game.

While its got some cool additions on top of the original game, being able to reload on button click at the same time as shooting, slowing down the final boss, and an essentially infinite continues system with no real penalty are really huge marks against what could otherwise be a good port.

While its got some cool additions on top of the original game, being able to reload on button click at the same time as shooting, slowing down the final boss, and an essentially infinite continues system with no real penalty are really huge marks against what could otherwise be a good port.
Also the new horde mode is designed around Scarlet Dawn's horde mode, but rather than giving you auto fire, or making enemies not attack you when the camera isn't facing them, or having enemies stagger on hit, this game ignores all the above and makes for a nearly umplayable game mode. Expect cheap shots from off screen, and no way to prevent being hit when you have multiple zombies attacking you at once.
So far I am pretty disappointed in this remake, going to do another run of the normal mode on the hardest difficulty and check out the other weapons they've included before putting a fork in this one.
I will say that the zombie gore in this is pretty cool, being able to shoot off their skin and reveal their boney insides is awesome.

da quando era stato annunciato il remake non vedevo l'ora di provarlo. Ottimo remake grafico, ma putrtoppo il gioco resta quello di una volta, ossia molto corto (4 livelli per un totale di 60 minuti). Si gioca molto bene e lo consiglio a tutti, ma sicuramente non a prezzo pieno. Adesso solo un'altra lunga attesa per il remake del secondo …
