House of the Dead 4 – First Impressions

Damn, this game sucks. The House of the Dead 4

Played it this afternoon with TheFluffyFist in an arcade coz it looked really great. It’s your standard wander-through-the-building-shooting-zombies arcade shooter. This time around you get uzi-style machine guns with grenade launchers and you get attacked by absolutely fricking LOADS of zombies at once! Fantastic stuff! And then during every other intense battle a zombie clings to the screen (apparently it’s supposed to be clinging to your gun) and you have to spend the next 5 seconds shaking it off by literally shaking your machine gun to fill a progress bar while other zombies attack you.

WTF??

This makes no sense. Why can’t I just shoot it? Or at least have some buttons or a pedal to kick it in the crotch or headbutt it or something that makes sense. Extreme Zombie Wobbling? Lame.

Full review may be coming but the only place I’ve seen it was £2 per credit and I am not spending that much money to shake a plastic machine gun in public. Have you guys played it? What did you think?

    I thought it was really good to be honest, it is alot better than the 3rd one with shotguns
    and huge guys with clubs, and I like the fact it has more interaction and if a guy comes
    close to you you might not lose a life you might have to fight him off or shoot him if he
    throws you on the floor.The granades are very helpful on bosses and I think it is an amazing
    game.£2 a credit is areal rip off play the one at the trafford centre it is alot easier and
    is only £1 to play.
