The stages in House of the Dead II are brilliantly designed, clearly by people who've had years of experience in the light-gun genre and therefore know how to keep things interesting. You'll find yourself traveling through four stages of multi-pathed gun shooting action. Err, rather, they set out to save all the survivors and find out the truth behind the recent turn of events.

You take the role of either James Taylor or Gary Stewart, two chaps who've just arrived in a city, apparently in search of some guy they refer to as "G." What's this? The city's been ransacked by zombies! True to mindless action hero form, James and Gary bust out their '44s, and set about popping some caps into the loads of braindead zombies that surround them. The purchase is a nobrainer for those accustomed to the light-gun genre, and players who are normally turned off by the genre may find themselves having fun as well. It's not the worst thing in the world, and Sega has tried to make things better by allowing you to adjust the targeting cursor speed, but I'd personally avoid this game unless I were buying a gun peripheral along side it.įortunately, though, I've played through the Japanese version heavily, using the light gun, and I can pass on to you that Sega's House of the Dead II is a worthwhile game, even with the added cost of the gun. Without the gun, House of the Dead II becomes more of a chore than a fun experience. House of the Dead II was meant to be played with a gun, and as Sega isn't providing one, and I wasn't supplied with one from a third party company, I've been forced to play through the game using Dreamcast controller. People keep on sending me letters, asking such things as "Will the game include the lightgun?", "Am I going to have to get a lightgun alongside the game," and, of course, "What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?" The answers to these questions are, "No, Sega will not be including a light gun with the game - get over it!", "Yes, you're going to have to get the lightgun alongside the game, as the controller just doesn't' deliver the House of the Dead II experience," and, finally, "What do you mean? African or European?" I answer the Q&A here at IGNDC (well, I'm supposed to, at least), and one of the largest batches of mail I receive concerns House of the Dead II. First off, let's get one thing out of the way.
