About this product

Product Information

Overkill is an over-the-top, B-movie, pulp fiction-style take on the House of the Dead series. Played from a first-person perspective, the game's seemingly simple goal is to shoot at the zombies, mutants, and other unearthly horrors that come into view, before they can get close enough to take a bite. The lead character quips sardonic comments and macabre jokes, and innocent civilians flee the carnage as he blasts a swath of righteous gore through the writhing hordes. The play mechanics are of the on-rails shooter style used in other House of the Dead games.<br><br>As in the well-received House of the Dead 2 & 3 remake for Wii, players aim and fire using the Wii Remote, while their characters automatically move forward through the level, pausing at key locations for special challenges and scripted events. The action is set to a rousing pace, with swarming undead and surprise attacks to keep the tension on edge. The motion-sensitive controls also play a role when the creepies get too close for comfort: with a swing of the controller, players can pistol-whip a zombie or smack back a mutant with the stock of their shotgun. Two-player cooperative play is supported, for side-by-side shooting.

  • Overkill is a parody of the grind house genre, lots of cursing, its corny, sexy, and weird

    I love this game, a parody of grind house and literally was the apple of my eye growing up. If little me could see me dressing up in dumb outfits just to look dumb while playing this game, she be so happy and proud. So much cursing, it used to hold the record for most profanity in a game. I am so happy I was able to get this game after years of watching others have fun. I hope I can get a girlfriend that looks like Carla, if not I guess I'll have to be the one. This game is easier than others once you get used to the slightly different aim system, but its still fun easy to pick up and down, just a overall fun time if you don't take everything so seriously(because its not).

  • Arcade FUN!

    TONS of stuff to unlock, if you're a fan of rail shooters, this is a MUST have! Excess gore, wicked soundtrack, and great sound for that matter. Would recommend a wiimote "pistol" or the "zapper," but that's just my personal opinion. The graphics arent the greatest, and they won't look the best on a larger screen, it still looks great, and performs well... Golden Brains splatter with a satisfying clang to signify unlocking bonuses. Max out your combo meter to get a bonus multiplyer! Grenades to throw, and weapons to purchase and upgrade. Minigames to unlock and master. Good fun, that you will return to over and over. Not regrets at 25 for the game and a zapper.

  • More HotD fun

    If you are a HotD fan, this is a worthwhile addition. I'm not sure it adds much, but it is something different and as good as the other editions.

  • EXCITEMENT

    I bought this for my husband who had been playing House of the Dead 2 & 3 but got all the way through those. He just started playing this one but still very fast paced and fun. I'd have more to say but we've just started.
