Zombie Apocalypse

Story-wise the game doesn’t stray too far away from other popular zombie outbreaks portrayed in modern media. Mysterious sightings and events start occurring in the city of Venice, upon further investigation you discover that a zombie outbreak is what is actually happening. It is your, and your partner’s job to investigate this outbreak and its origins. Without giving any spoilers, the conclusion to the game itself is not new, or groundbreaking by any means, but the journey is satisfying enough to make up for it.

Like the brainless zombies, The House of the Dead 2, doesn’t provide puzzles, or intellectual challenges, and that is fine because the game delivers exactly what it set out to deliver. The game moves you around either as Agent James Taylor or Gary Stewart (Player 1 or Player 2), and your job is to shoot zombies in the brain.

It is a fast-paced, gory, horror, first-person shooter that relies on reflexes and aims to be played. While the main proposal of the game, kill zombies, is pretty simple, The House of The Dead 2 keeps the experience fresh with multiple types of zombies, that pose unique challenges, and different boss fights.

Additionally, the game was ahead of its time, because it provided multiple endings of your journey depending on your choices, and specific actions. Ending change based on the game being completed alone, or in co-op, if both players beat the last boss, the number of continues utilized and the points achieved in each level, this mechanic ensures that players have a reason to replay the game.

Hit and a Miss

Ultimately, this game is fun and provides hours of entertainment. The graphics might look dated to the average gamer in 2021, but to provide a fair description, we need to look at what it accomplished at the time, and for the time this was a very good-looking game. The game isn’t a masterpiece but is enjoyable throughout, the only terrible and sore part of the experience is the disturbingly bad voice-acting, it just pops out of the screen every time you hear it, and you can’t unnoticed it.

If you were ever a fan of arcade games, or want to scratch the co-op nostalgia The House of The Dead 2, will be nothing more than an entertaining game. Yet, if you enjoyed similar titles such as Killing Floor: Double Feature, Time Crisis, or zombie modes from the Call of Duty series, this title is right up your wheelhouse. Just keep in mind, it served as a starting point for those franchises, and it is a simpler, older, less detailed game than the ones it helped inspire.

PROS:

• Variety of Enemies
• Fun Gameplay

• this game I think is pretty good on windows XP not on windows 10
  
• It Says Please install CD-ROM no Exe. File please help!
• i like it very much
  
• Had this one for the Dream Cast along with Resident Evil to round of the horror survival shelf. Interesting to see it floating about and seemingly more popular than I thought it would be. It is pretty fun (shooter on rails like Operation Wolf, but with zombies).
• super game......
• It tells my that you need the house of the dead CD or something like that please anyone help.
• @ramesh: there's more than one exe, I just checked. Could it be that your antivirus automatically deleted the EXEs? I guarantee that House of the Dead is virus free
• house of the dead exe file is not there
  
• nice game
• You are right Moldy... my mistake. I changed the system data accordingly.
• This is actually a Windows 95/Windows NT game and cannot be played on vanilla DOS.
  I ran all of the executables in DOSBOX, a MSDOS 7.10 Virtual Machine, my stand alone ThinkPad running IBM DOS 4.01, and also my 2003 Dell Dimension 4600. It would only work when running under Win XP or 98 on my Dell.
