House Of The Dead: Overkill is going to be released on the Wii, February 13th 2009 by Headstrong Games, the game looks to be like another House Of The Dead hit, if you enjoy killing zombies & shooting at things, then House Of The Dead is your kind of game!

House Of The Dead has built a successful zombie-killing craze, previous House Of The Dead games in the series have had boring dialogue and action, but with House Of The Dead: Overkill being released soon, Headstrong games is taking the shooter series in a different direction and to a new gaming level.

You, as you may of done before, will take on the role of Agent G, but you will also be joined by a new partner, named Agent Washington, the great thing about this game is, you can play it on your own and have the game be your partner, or you can get a friend to be your partner and work as a team to complete the game!

In House Of The Dead: Overkill, its based in a zombie invested hospital, you will have to go on the premises of the hospital (Car park, entrance, the building, the wards etc) and basically just kill the Zombies, now you may thing this sounds quite-boring, but with different bosses, levels and different-zombies, it really does keep you entertained.

The reload rates seems to the about the same speed as all the other House Of The Dead games, although a simple wrist-action to move the aim-cursor off the screen will allow you to reload, which is useful sometimes, but I noticed when you didn’t mean to reload you still reload, which can get annoying but it’s nice not have to worry about moving a lot just to reload.

A new feature to the game is the “combo meter”, it’s still unclear how it increases, based on head shots or hits, every time you get your combo meter to full / five, you are awarded a bar, this bonus continues to stack up throughout the game/level and you are awarded extra-points at the end of the level. As in all House of Dead games, at the end of the level, you are awarded a rating based on your skill during the level, judged on your shot accuracy, how many times you were attacked etc.

House Of The Dead: Overkill has stayed the original, entertaining zombie shooter, but with some great new graphics, realistic killing and brilliant new levels. I am awaiting to grab my shotgun and start shooting zombies heads off.
