    House of the dead overkill...

    Looks fab. Hope they make the boss battles a bit more challenging though. They were a pushover on the Wii version (apart from, bizarrely, the very first boss!)

    My two concerns: lightguns are better suited to these games, as -when calibrated properly- they ALWAYS react fast to player movement and are extremely accurate: the aim never swayed into focus with a slight delay. The second is that the visible reticle removes the sense of satisfaction an arcade railgun shooter would have given a player.

    The wiimote was not designed for this kind of game and it showed with the reticle lag, and if you weren't in exactly the right spot and the right distance from the screen the experience without the reticle was unbearable. But the experience WITH the reticle made me feel like I was cheating the game, and cheating myself out of that classic arcade shooter experience.

    This seems to suffer from the same demons, and if only these were rectified for the HD rendition this would easily be my favourite HOTD experience: when I got the right distance from the screen the Wii experience was fantastic.
