    An utterly ill-advised redub is just one of several puzzling disappointments. The House of the Dead Remake wasn’t perfect, but it tried a lot harder, with better controls and more features. By stark contrast, this is a wonky and flimsy followup that has no excuse for playing worse and delivering less...Oh, and the first remake’s on sale for $2.49 right now, so if you wanted just one of these games, the choice is bloody obvious.

    The remake of The House of the Dead 2 isn’t outright broken and still delivers a nostalgic ride of on-rails shooting that’s all but vanished today. Its biggest issue, however, is that most of the new additions make the game worse rather than better, be it the gamepad controls, changes to the hitboxes, or the atrocious voice acting.
