Zechs Merquise Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I like the handcannon - it's awesome - but the games music and sound is soooo irritating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Shame we don't live in Aus. They're selling the game (collectors edition) and 2 handcannons off way cheaper than they probably should be. Something like $90 AUS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellyn Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Shame we don't live in Aus. They're selling the game (collectors edition) and 2 handcannons off way cheaper than they probably should be. Something like $90 AUS. The game works on European consoles so there's no reason why we couldn't. I probably won't, I doubt it'd arrive on launch.

D_prOdigy Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I'm not too fussed about the hand cannon, but I will get the CE of the game itself. I think Game have it at £34.99, so it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzybee Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Australia get this: Australia preorder SURELY that will come out over here? Surely! I's buy it in a snap. Can anyone tell me how the gun works? Is it a trigger fire gun? Also, is it a plastic shell in that the A button will still have to be pressed or will there be an A button so you can use your thumb for example.

Dante Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 SURELY that will come out over here? Surely! I's buy it in a snap. Can anyone tell me how the gun works? Is it a trigger fire gun? Also, is it a plastic shell in that the A button will still have to be pressed or will there be an A button so you can use your thumb for example. A button to press as normal and the trigger as B button. Chapter 1 Info: The first mission of The House of the Dead: OVERKILL is also Special Agent G’s first mission. He has been dispatched by his agency, the secretive AMS, to investigate Papa Ceasar’s connection to a host of mysterious disappearances. At the exact moment G arrives, Detective Washington also turns up at the gates of the plantation house, on the trail of his missing father. From the outset a tension exists between these hardboiled professionals, each feeling the other is stepping on their turf. But, when mutants attack, the Detective and the Agent are forced to accept that two guns are better than one and that an immediate and violent response is required. The pair storm the plantation house grounds, gunning their way between trees and shrubs, capping mutants left, right and centre. Before long they reach the doors of the plantation house itself. They break in and find the place overrun with mutants. Something has gone badly wrong here… Inside the Plantation House, a host of sick and twisted surprises awaits our heroes, and holed up in the basement is their nemesis, Papa Ceasar, with the first surprise in what promises to be a long, dangerous night in Bayou City.

david.dakota Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I just feel it lacks dynamism, and sparkle. I've not seen much in the way of flash - particle effects, dynamic lighting etc (ah, those circle shadows...). However, as i say, this is a must buy.

Funny you should mention circular shadows because I just recently went back and played Conker's Bad Fur Day on the N64 and the shadow effects in that game actually puts most wii games to shame. Incredible. Really quite tempted to buy this game though, it looks pretty interesting. Enjoyed the Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles game so this is tempting!
