   Critics said it's good. Other critics said it'd **** good. GRAPHICS: It is like bringing the arcade game home, watching it bang a grind house film, then marveling at the abomination they produce 9/10. ADVENTURE: This story is **** brilliant.... as brilliant as it needs to be. 10/10 MECHANICS: So solid it'll rip your **** balls off.10/10 EXTRAS: Tell your friend he ain't ever seen this kind of crazy **** before and strap in for a few hours of Arcade on rails shooter classic minus all the damn quarters. 10/10 This game is what it is and it is all the **** way. If you like shooting zombies, cheesy horror, funk, and shooting zombies you will love this game!… Expand

   While I enjoyed playing through the game a couple of times, I really wanted more. I almost wish this game was a movie instead, because the parts I enjoyed most was the dialogue. I think one of the things that kept me so into the game my first play through was the desire to find out where this craziness heads. Story is all over the place, but in a good way, all you really need to know is “shoot the zombiesâ€�, the rest takes care of itself. It starts off with Agent G (of House of the Dead fame) and Agent Washington investigating the estate of Papa Caesar for a possible solution to the outbreak that is occurring, and it spirals off from there. This game, despite being longer than any of the arcade entries in the series, is definitely of a lower quality. Unlike some people, rail shooters are actually one of my favorite genre's so I probably have higher standards than others. Its not good enough for a game to be “mindless funâ€�. There is a reason everybody loves Time Crisis and nobody gives a **** about Total Vice. One of these was visually entertaining, well paced, and used the limited mechanics of the genre in as many different ways as they could think of. One of them was “mindless funâ€�. On the technical side, this game suffers from immense slowdown, like worse than any game I have played on the console. Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles had minor hiccups during heavy action segments, but nothing as bad as this. Oftentimes the game will simply freeze up for a second before you gunshot connects (or doesn't) with an enemy. Also, the cursors seem to have a hard time keeping up with where you are pointing. In House of the Dead 2 and 3 Returns this wasn't an issue, and in the Resident Evil rail shooters it wasn't an issue, but it is here for some reason. This would be excusable if the graphics where in any way good, but they aren't. House of the Dead 2 from over a decade prior is more pleasing to look at than this muddy mess. I am giving this game a 3 out of 5 for the entertainment it provided me. It was genuinely funny at parts, and it definitely went out of its way to have its own style, which isn't something I could say for most games these days. The story was also a an amazing mix of badassery and creepyness. I especially enjoyed Agent Washington's reading of the game as an “indictment of contemporary feminismâ€� before the credits.… Expand

   Okay, this game has a great concept. But it's execution is pathetic. Played through it in about 3 hours and that's including the way too long cut-scenes. I guess the developers think themselves clever writers. Way too talky and the dialog will drive you nuts. Graphics are barely PS2 quality and the boss battles are laughable. Would be an okay game about 4 years ago. I understand that they were inspired by low-budget movies. But what they ended up with is a low-budget game. No serious gamer would be interested.… Expand
