    Default Favorite House of the Dead?

    Which HOTD is your favorite?


    HOTD - The first time you saw the dead walking and could not believe your eyes. Then you got the gun and began shooting.

    HOTD 2 - The second time you saw more dead people walking, but with better graphics, but sucky voice acting.

    HOTD 3 - Even better graphics, but on Xbox.

    HOTD 4 - Can't wait. I know this one will be my favorite?



    Well it looks like I forgot my favorite. TOTD

    Graphicly, 4 looks like a major step back... but I guess it's still early, but youd also think these games would evolve beyond the need to use the exact same model for every zombie on screen

    Anyways, the first is still my favorite, folowed by the third, and second.

    Typing of the Dead is my favorite in the series! It not only has the great graphics from HotD2 but it's hilarious... and educational!

    I forgot to post that one. I love that game as well. I can't seem to conquer it though.

    I've had this one since the begining. Sometimes I feel like Cmtz and sometimes I feel like CanX. Actually this question has been answered already on another thread. Don't remember which one, but I know you asked the question. All I remember was a party afterwards and lots of women.

    I need to get TOTD. Maybe that should be my next mini-goal. I guess I'll need the keyboard, too.

    As for the others, I have to say HOTD2. It's a fun game and the voice acting, while horrible, somehow makes the game better. I couldn't play it all the way through since the gun wasn't mine. Can't play HOTD3 beause my Xbox is a piece of crap.

    But I do play Pinball of the Dead quite a bit, so maybe that's my fave.

    I'll always love the original House of the Dead best.

    The Saturn version, specifically.

    I looked all over the place for it and finally found it by calling half of North America (this was before Ebay got big)

    There was nothing like slapping that CD in the Saturn and fishing out that big-ass orange gun and blowing away some blocky-ass zombies. Awful graphics, great gameplay.

    Then I discovered the secrets menu... red blood and huge bullets!

    I don't think anyones gonna vote for HotD4. Hell, I didn't even know Sega had announced it yet!

    I vote Typing, but out of the list - HotD 2.

    I voted for HOTD3, not because it was my favorite, but because you can access an arcade perfect port of HOTD2 on it. The shotgun thing just changed things too much for me. It made HOTD3 one of the easiest games. And the branching paths changed. But hey, all of HOTD2 was there too.

    I've actually been playing a ton of HOTD3 lately. Well, HOTD2 on the HOTD3 disc

    I liked HOTD2 a lot too. Played the hell out of it on Dreamcast, to the where I could clear the game without losing a life... plus it had all the weird extra weapons like fishing lures. The voice acting is uttercrap but that somehow added to the game.

    BTW, there's a level of Zombie Revenge that takes place in the mansion from the first House of the Dead, but I'm not sure if that game is an offical spinoff since the story/acting is once again crap.

    Yep, it's all about The Typing of the Dead.

    Given the game's popularity (there were two or three updates to the PC version released in Japan, and a PS2 port was announced not so long ago), I'm still suprised that House of the Dead 3 has not also gotten the typing treatment. It is available for PC now, after all.

    Oh, and you forgot Pinball of the Dead.

    i still wish HotD3 was cel-shaded as it had originally been. it wasn't cartoony enough to ruin the mood, and felt better at home then the generic graphics they ended up using.
