Publisher: Sega
Released: 1998
House of the Dead is a light-gun game that was originally released in the Arcades in 1996.
+ Using the light-gun works great, and even the standard controller does an admirable job while being better for rapid fire.
+ Level design is claustrophobic to set a creepy mood and there's plenty of excellent set pieces.
- Only five short levels with the final one shoehorning in a boss battle mode to artificially lengthen the gameplay.
- The frame-rate is choppy which sometimes affects accuracy, and the graphics / textures are heavily pixelated.
- Game often stops to load mid-mission (often resuming with instant enemy attacks) and the action contains many cheap hits.
- Exclusive Saturn mode with more playable characters (and unique stats) is neat, but does little to enhance the experience.
