House Of The Dead: Overkill - Wii goes Grindhouse...

[ezee ryder]

I'm actually quite interested in this, it is out the same day as FEAR 2 though so I might have to wait til later to pick it up.

Retail box for the gun. Sounds like 2 of these are needed, and the game. I really want it but dropping £50 on it? Hmm

[Silvergun X]

Overkill is mostly well-tuned, too, although it's here that some small cracks start to show. A Wii remote is not a light-gun, and genre specialists might find its less literal aiming - you're guiding a cross-hair with gestures, rather than looking down your gun

WHY have they ditched lightgun style calibration, especially when it's worked so well with other games?! Why?!

That's completely ruined this for me.

[Adam Stone]

pfft. Resident Evil UC worked just fine without the lightgun calibration... Although not perfectly ideal, it still works absolutely fine and shouldn't get in the way of experiencing this potential beast of a game.

according to ign theres the option for lightgun calibration. even shows the menu screen for doing it on their video review

How did it work in HotD 2&3 Return, out of curiosity? I'm baffled if they've chosen to deviate.

Traditional aim screen. Shoot the markers to configure it or you can opt to use the pointer instead.

Oh thank god for that...

False alarm, purchase saved.

[cutmymilk]

I always thought that the wii remote wasnt 'fast enough' to work as a proper light gun!

[Shozuki]

I must say I am very interested.

[ne0star]

Its been getting pretty solid reviews. Its been a while since a lightgun title got really decent reviews.

[ezee ryder]

I caved in and decided I will get this, looks like it will be fun. Ordered myself a Nyko Perfect Shot to go with it too.

[Pilotwings]

How come you didn't go for the hand cannon ezee?

[mekanor]

If anybody is interested I can buy and post off bang bang boxs to the uk for $130 AUD ≈ ?60 GBP (assuming ive guessed the weight of the thing right).

if you dont want registered post then it will only be $120AUD ≈ ?55GBP

give me a yell if anyones interested
