    THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD: Remake is precisely that, a remake of one of the most iconic and best rail-shooters of all time. In terms of core gameplay and story, there isn’t much; however, the touch-ups are all that was needed for a perfect refresh. To add to this, the gyro controls are surprisingly great and the best way to play. Grab yourself a joy-con and a willing partner, and shoot your way through bullet-hell in THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD.

However, this time they have added in plenty more reasons to replay. It’s still not quite worth the full asking price, but it helps make it a little bit more palatable. The House of the Dead is still as fun as ever, and the remake really does it justice. The controls may not be quite perfect, but they’re at least good enough. Fans of the original are sure to be pleased with the remake and I’m sure that SEGA will be happy knowing that their properties are in good hands."

    Played this game first time on PC. Unfortunately never played it on ARCADE (if I ever find this – I will definitely play).
    Super-huge change    Played this game first time on PC. Unfortunately never played it on ARCADE (if I ever find this – I will definitely play).
    Super-huge change comparing to PC version from 1998. Everything is bigger, better and looks super nice (beside scenario and all things that should remain the same). Gyro aiming works perfectly (after setting it up properly – which takes a moment – but definitely worth to do it – tip => change settings both in menu and in system).. Best gyro aiming in all SWITCH games – new reference lvl for all other productions.
    Graphics are really good and dynamic (you can choose between performance or quality) – everyone will find what is most suitable for them.
    Voices, sounds and music are exactly as they should be a bit archaic, clichéd and poorly-acted.. exactly what I expected and what I enjoy. For all haters of this – THIS IS HOW THIS GAME SUPPOSED TO BE.. GET ON WITH IT..     … Full Review »
