One of the coolest Dreamcast games to date. Excellent challenges, nice visuals, and a surplus of bonus modes are contained within Typing but most of all, Smilebit has given Dreamcast maniacs something truly unique in making typing fun.

Daily RadarMove over, Mavis Beacon. This Dreamcast typing tutorial blows your tiresome tutorial to smithereens.

Extremely fun. And like Bill Cosby used to say, "You just might learn something by the time we're done."
-
At its core this is nothing but a fruity remake...of "The House of the Dead 2". It's just that you no longer need to have great hand-eye coordination with a lightgun in order to succeed, but typing skills akin to the one's a secretary of management VP needs in order to succeed in the corporate world of mid-level data management.

CNET GamecenterEnds up being a quirky gem in the Dreamcast catalog thanks to rock-solid gameplay, great graphics, and a loopy sense of humor. Best of all, players are guaranteed to see improvement in their typing if they log some time into the game.
-
If nothing else, Typing of the Dead is kooky, fun and inventive, and a worthwhile addition to any Dreamcast enthusiast’s library. Uh, provided you own one of those keyboards.
-
Without a doubt, this is the most fun you can have while increasing your typing speed. Zombies make good teachers.
