    Simple and enjoyable game. The game is great, reaching enemies makes me types fast. The story is similar to House of the Dead 2, but I like it to be more like this.

    It's think fast, type faster to survive the zombie apocalypse in this comedic remake of The House of the Dead 2 on PC. This game really puts your typing skills to the test.

    The Typing of the Dead really shows how anything can be improved by adding "…of the Dead" to it. Just think of "Windows XP of the Dead," or "Civilization III of the Dead."

    This is the first time that a survival/horror game has made me laugh out loud, and still manages to retain all of the scariness that was present in the shooting version of the game. In some cases it's scarier because you're typing for your life, which is hardly an easy thing to do.

    The word challenges and speed are challenging, and often funny, but the challenge level won't stop even a mediocre typist from finishing the game in just a few hours.
