    Fun and easy game to play either alone or with a buddy. Few different modes/modifiers to keeps things interesting. Very intricate in terms of how many routes the game has to offer despite it being minor changes for the most part. Also good variety of settings to mess and tinker with. Game runs well and plays fine however it feels too short and felt like more could've been added to this.

Those who would like to experience a bit of arcade again are welcome to buy "The House of the Dead: Remake" as a cheap title, but all other gamers should think twice about buying it. In the new contents of the Limidead Edition, you also get, besides the game, exclusive 3D wiggle picture box, two cardboard standees and a sticker sheet. There would have been more here!… Expand

    The most precise 5 I could give to a game. Is it impossible to enjoy the game? Not at all. But it has just so many flaws. Lighting is ridiculously bad (making gameplay painful at times because of strange overshadowed rooms where you can't see a crap even with the brightness at max), impacts on enemies feel soft, ragdoll physics are implemented in a way it doesn't add much to theThe most precise 5 I could give to a game.

Lighting is ridiculously bad (making gameplay painful at times because of strange overshadowed rooms where you can't see a crap even with the brightness at max), impacts on enemies feel soft, ragdoll physics are implemented in a way it doesn't add much to the experience, framerate is unstable, it's not compatible with guns (I can play 1 player with a Sinden, but not 2 player at least until someone patches it from outside),..

    I mean... seriously, install an emulator and play the original instead. Yeah, graphics are superdated but it FEELS good, and that's what is important on one of these games.    … Expand

    The game is very poorly optimised and has frame rate issues. The controls are horrendous! Quite painful to play. Very poor support overseas as well as some of my friends were saying that there is no asian PS4 version. This developer does not deserve your money.

    This game is a fantastic nostalgia trip… for 45 minutes!!!

    While I wouldn’t expect any more given it’s a remake, for the price point it should have included some more in the series. Wait for a sale.

    A short, schlocky blast from the past with some welcome modern additions, but hardcore fans may prefer to track down an original arcade cabinet instead. [Issue#15, p.86]

    It's not only about the nostalgia. The House of the Dead Remake brings new graphics, game modes and optimized physics. Unfortunately, though, it remains it's still in a comfort zone, where there is no boldness or space for new content.

    The House of the Dead: Remake is a lukewarm game that lives on reflected light and has several glitches in the control system. Only for those who sleep with a light gun under their pillow.
