    The House of the Dead: Remake stays faithful to its roots and is an incredible upgrade visually compared to the original version.

    As much as I’m left wanting for proper lightgun support – and a few extra modes – I can’t deny being utterly thrilled to see The House of the Dead back on my screen. The visual up-spuff is great, and MegaPixel have remained as true as they possibly could to the original game’s gameplay and beats. Even using a controller HotD is great fun, and those who haven’t spent the best part of 25 years playing it will just be treated to a gloriously fun arcade experience.

    This great looking remake should please longtime fans. It's fast-paced, gory and filled with challenges and secret rooms. The Story modeThis great looking remake should please longtime fans. It's fast-paced, gory and filled with challenges and secret rooms. The Story mode (which has four difficulty levels) can be played with a partner using competitive or cooperative rules. There is also a Horde mode which increases the number of zombies. Extra guns can be unlocked if you save all the scientists and cheat codes can also be earned. A gallery mode displays artwork of the weapons and enemies. Sadly, there are some tech issues such as small pauses and long loading times. Overall, this remake isn't as good as "The House of the Dead: Overkill". But it's on par with "The House of the Dead III". I would rate it with a 7.3 out of 10.… Full Review »

    In my opinion this is a good remastered of the original The House of the Dead, but the lack of the lightgun penalizes the experience.
