I do question whether its more than MadWorld. Seems like every 3rd word out of the Black Baron's mouth is "motherfucker," and the announcers keep the swears flying constantly

Bring on Typing of the Dead: Overkill - I need to increase my swear words per minute.

Ah haha, that would be SO awesome! Such a shame Headstrong didn't think of that, considering that you can hook a USB keyboard up to the Wii.

TYPE THAT SHIT OUT, MOTHERFUCKER! It say VEGETABLE! DON'T YOU KNOW HOW TO FUCKING SPELL VEGETABLE?!

Is this on par, better than, worse than RE:UC? I rented that and had some fun with it, but wanted to see how this stacks up.

Have the zapper and the Nyko Perfect Shot but have barely used them since I got them as an xmas present. Crossbow Training was actually pretty cool - briefly.

It's way better than Umbrella Chronicles, it really sticks to its arcadey routes; enemies jump out at you more and it's much faster than Capcom's effort.

Though, HOTD is rather short, you need to complete the game to get the 'real' main mode, and it's buggy. But that shouldn't deter you too much. If it did, then ignore everything I just said and buy it anyway.

I guess that explains why my Amazon search for 'Roots' kept turning up road maps, and other similar junk like that. Everything suddenly makes sense.

I think so many people were disgusted they decided to be Jimmy Fallon's effing late night band that Amazon just decided to pull their music entirely off the site out of shame.

The gameplay is good, but the "story" and "humour" proved to be too big a turn-off for me. I'll stick with Ghost Squad and Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, thanks, but I'm glad others are enjoying the game and it's getting some recognition.

So is this something to be proud of? Why is it that Nintendo thinks that just because they use a lot of swear words and gore that makes them hardcore? Kratos didn't swear once and he is as hardcore as they come. Snake and Dante lack of swearing didn't make them any less hardcore then they were. Does any one else think that Nintendo may be trying too hard to prove to everyone that they are not just casual?

You are aware that NIntendo didn't make this game, right?

Yes, because Nintendo developed this game, published this game, and marketed this game.

Oh wait, they didn't. They just licensed the game to play on the Wii. Maybe that explains the big SEGA on the box and the HEADSTRONG label in the article's image at the top.

Also, Sony has nothing to do with Snake or Dante, just fyi.

No tiamat5 is right, tis a conspiracy. Nintendo coming out with gamer fuel and now putting too much fucking in their games is proof that Nintendo is something something something!

Wait, just a minute who said I was talking about Sony? Snake and Dante where just examples of characters. And also Nintendo may not have made the game but they encouraged it. They accepted the way the game was and put it on their system knowing the amount of gore and swear words that were on it. If the $hit hit the fan regarding this game, Nintendo would get just as big a face full as Sega. After all it is on their system.
Finally my point was that having the most swear words in a game is nothing to be proud of. Sega figured that they could cover up all the games faults ,like the fact that it is short, pixalated and poorly done, with curses, blood and crude humor. No good game ever does that. But these days games are being awarded more for being ignorant and stupid, rather then well thought out and polished. Everyone whines and bitches about Killzone 2 not knowing what it wants to be and being over-hyped but since House of the Dead admits that it is stupid and crude from the start it's makes it okay

You didn't watch the whole review did you? Yahtzee LIKED the game. Yeah he says it's a stupid game but he then immediately says he wouldn't have it any other way. He openly praises the game for having the title tell you all you need to know about it. If you buy it expecting something deep and engaging then you don't know jack about the series.

The game Is what it is and it isn't going to apologize for it. He respects that.

Oh, and he has gotten pissy about every game except Psychonauts and Fantasy World Dizzy for the C64.

"Here's hoping some of you mother f*****g sons of b*****s actually get out there and buy the G** ***n game for f**k's sake. So p****ing help us, if that r***er isn't on the j**ing sales chart, we're going to take a giant n***b all over you faces. El S****, if you will."

I don't know what that is.

I can't believe it. People are actually praising a game for that? You know, the good games are the ones that have optional language filters. Gears of War 2 had it. Perfect Dark had it. This is the only House of the Dead game I'll skip over due to the grossly absurd use of "strong" language.

I did my f***'n part folks! I bought my copy. Go do the right thing and maybe we may get more adult themed games on this mother-f***er.

Seriously tho... I made the joking observation with my wife during our first play thru of the game must have set some record for profanity.
