The game plays as well with or without Direct-X support, depending on the options you select. Let me say this way: "losing your head" gets a whole new meaning when playing The House of the Dead -) Even though the only weapon you have is a plain 9mm-pistol, that thing obviously leaves holes in bodies in gory manners that are definitely not suitable for kids. As you are 'led' by the game around a place overcrowded with zombies and monsters of all kind, you will constantly be busy shooting, no more, no less. You, being the chip of the Hero, want to rush out to the place in order to free her. Your girlfriend Sarah leaves a message on your answering machine, telling you she has been captured by a guy called Curien. So all that is left to you is shooting on anything that moves :-) Think Rebel Assault on foot, and you'll have a good idea of what HOTD is about. The House of the Dead is a "rail shooter" - a kind of game I have not seen before on a PC platform although it is well known for arcade fans.įor those of you who aren't familiar with the expression "rail shooter": unlike the usual first-person shooters such as Quake, Doom and so on, in House of the Dead you are not able to choose the directions yourself, only where the game wants you to go.
