as much i love this franchise i specifically CAN'T recommend this remake they screwed up most of the bosses (and human characters at that) design like hierophant the music is too tuned down regardless of your sound settings which were one of the best part of the original it also seem WAY easier they could've upscaled the original and it would have turned much better you get the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ voice acting still though3 found this helpful
THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2: Remake is fun enough for the 30 or so minutes it lasts, but at its $24.99 price point, it feels like absolute highway robbery. I bought it on sale for $14.99, and that is still way too much. The game is enjoyable; it’s simple, fast, and easy to jump into, and there are a decent number of settings to mess around with depending on how you want to play. But this is a very barebones remake at best. It’s essentially the original game with a fresh coat of paint, and not much more than that. In fact, it felt a bit buggier than the remake of HOD1. For what it is, I had fun with it. But there just isn’t enough content here to justify any asking price above a single dollar. At a deep discount, it’s a fun little arcade throwback. At full price, absolutely not worth it unless you have money to waste. (I'll put as little effort into my review as the developers did into this remake, so my review for both this and the remake of HOD1 will be near identical as they are pretty much the same experience).3 found this helpful
THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2: Remake pros: //fast game with modern day graphics with easy controls that moves from location A to B to C and so on //good amount of action and special effects cons: //some difficult battles/boss battles //some overpowered enemies //sometimes enemies attack too fast //sometimes the game is too fast //sometimes shot registration is slow and the enemy still hits you //good game Personal Suggested Purchase Price: $2.49 Or Less During Sale extra notes: //On-the-rails shooter fighting enemy horrors in an overrun city //You are an agent/detective investigating the roots of the evil //fire and reload your weapon quickly with accuracy to eliminate the new breed of evil //rescue and protect people along the way and communicate with your allies to open up new leads1 found this helpful
I don't know how much time has passed, but I remember when I was little and I struggled to beat THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2. When I saw that the remake of the first part came out, I was already waiting for the second one anyway. It's my childhood memory, I finished the remake in just 40 minutes, really fast on my first try. That just shows I still remember this game perfectly after so many years. Was it worth it? I'll say this much: if someone played the old version, they'll like this one too. Miauk.1 found this helpful
This one sucks balls, MAJORLY. Somehow plays worser than the first remake which is funny. I think music's fine, a bit too rock heavy, which is weird since the OG tracks are more electronic. Still, found it jarring they didn't do remixes for ALL the tracks since CH05's theme (Dawn) is NOT remixed. (Which, ya know what, good. The best Dawn remix is the one in HOD4 and nothing can top that.) Bosses are a bit difficult, which, a good challenge but also a damn slogfest. Zombies sometimes NEVER react to getting shot at, which let them able to get 1 free hit on me. I find that super annoying. Again, I have no idea how they fumbled this one despite having everything worked really well for HOTD1 Remake. Also, WHY IS EVERYONE'S FROM THE SOUTH? THEY GOT THAT GODDANG YEEHAW ACCENT? I THOUGHT WE'RE IN VENICE??? But yea, Not recommended, even in short bursts. Save your money. Go get HOTD1 Remake instead. It plays better and it's cheaper. Go find the original HOTD2 game, heck even Typing Of The Dead (the OG one) too. This game's a landfill waste.1 found this helpful
