    House of the Dead 2 Remake returns as a zombie; its gameplay style perfectly suits the current Nintendo console, being a challenging arcade classic with plenty of action and violence straight out of the 1990s. Despite the difficulty, its campaign is quite fun and perfect for a game night.

    The House of the Dead 2: Remake is a refreshing blast from the past. It proves that old-school game design still has bite and that rail shooters deserve a comeback. The remake could've used more polish, and there are definite issues, but especially in co-op, it's still a fun ride worth trying even for those who didn't experience it the first time around.

    A gloriously gory glow up of a stone cold classic that suffers from irksome control issues.

    Ultimately, I am glad The House of the Dead 2: Remake exists. Control woes aside, I suspect many players will eventually find some enjoyment from the game, provided you're willing to spend considerable time in the settings menu beforehand. It's a fascinating blast from the past, warts 'n' all, and a real showcase of some truly terrible voice acting from the '90s. Just make sure you toggle the 'Mute "Reload!" Scream' option – good lord.
