Silent Scope Complete Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Reviewers have been tepid about this title, but reveiwers do not play videogames the way many of us do.For reviewers, videogames are serious business.For me, and, I would imagine, many others, games are supposed to be simple fun.
Silent Scope provides oodles of it.Not much thinking, just fast, fast, tight, well designed action, with a cool scope-in, scope-out dynamic that actually maybe does require some strategy.A classic of the level of House of The Dead 1& 2.I play without a gun, and with just the controller, it's a blast.
It would be worth the money if all you got was one game, but you get THREE FULL ARCADE GAMES, PLUS BONUS GAMES.Most gun games suffer from low longevity, but it would be very hard to imagine anyone finishing this title in under 30 hours.
Very, very addictive and cool.Varied action, humour, branching paths...
Sure, the graphics are not at par with the best of XBOX, but they're glitch free, and designed with a wink and a chuckle, and some environments actually look pretty good and do contain OK polygon counts and that.
Bottom line, if you're tired of games that are so complicated they feel like jobs, so complicated they lack focus and direction, get this now.
- P.S. - I set difficulty at 6 which offers optimal "resistance"- I recommend doing that and leaving everything else at default values, except for turning on auto-save, and turning off branching paths in Silent Scope 1 (the surprise of which path you'll randomly get adds to re-play.)Each game has its own options set.

House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This game is a no-brainer. If you were ever a fan of the House of the Dead in the arcade, then you have to dish the $30 to get it. If you're as bad a shot as I was in the arcade, you'll make up the money in about 10 minutes worth of play. :)

If you've never played the game but are looking for a new title to use your snazzy Wii Zapper on, then this is also the game for you. It's super responsive and accurate, and gives you lots of satisfaction based on the sound effects and gore.

For those expecting something new and fantastic for the Wii release, you may be disappointed. The graphics are the same as the tried and true versions, and the voice overs are still the very poorly-acted (but admittedly nostalgic) ones you love to hate.

Parents, fear not. You can "censor" the level of gore if you're still OK with your child playing this type of game. (It's rated M for mature, i.e. 17+). You can make the blood be green instead of red, and also minimize the amount of gore in the options menu. Accessory-wise, you don't need the Wii Zapper or other comparable shooting peripheral. It works fine with the controllers as they come out of the box, but since the arcade version had guns, it's nice to have this extra.

Here's what you get with the game: House of the Dead 2, with arcade and original modes, boss mode and training mode. You start with the basics, and as you get further and further into these modes, you unlock more and more things. House of the Dead 3 has arcade mode and extreme mode, with the same ability to unlock more and more as you go through the game.

The only minus for this game (which still doesn't affect my rating of it) is the occasional lag you may experience during zombie-intense shooting moments (maybe once or twice during an entire start-to-finish game). It doesn't affect game play, but I'm sure some of you avid gamers out there would find it very annoying.

Overall, getting 2 games in one for 30 bucks is a great deal, and I'm a very, very happy camper that my arcade fave has made a return for Wii.
