i really liked playing this game especially with the zapper which makes shooting a lot easier. i felt like a kid in the arcade with the plastic gun and would have to shoot off to the side of the screen to reload! It's an arcade game that i dont have to spew quarters into its awesome. Downside i beat the game in less than a day definitely not worth buying it now maybe when its on the rack for 20 or used. But still a fun game

The House of the Dead: Overkill – hands-on
We enter the hospital of the dead for our first play session
Jan 12, 2009
Developers Headstrong are anything if not enthusiastic about Overkill. Sitting down for a hands-on session with a brand new level – a mutant outbreak in a hospital that makes MRSA look like TLC – we spotted a curious pre-level title card: ‘Presented in Slater Vision’. Chatting later to studio head Bradley Crooks we’re told that Slater is Mark Slater, the lead artist on the game. » Read Full The House of the Dead: Overkill preview
