About this product

Product Information

After putting an end to the 1998 Curien Mansion Incident, the members of the special government agency AMS thought the world was safe again. The Curien case revolved around Dr. Curien, a somewhat deranged scientist obsessed with experimenting on the dead and the living. His research opened a gate to the afterlife, and the dead rose from the grave.<br><br>This was the premise of the original The House of the Dead (released on both the Sega Saturn and arcade platforms). In it, players assumed the roles of G and James Taylor, two of the best government agents in the business. Their hellish journey took them through the depths of a mansion full of dead zombies, snakes, bats, and other creepy mutant creatures. After finding Dr. Curien, they executed the scientist and left the premises.<br><br>As it turns out, this was their big mistake. A mysterious man named Goldman had been tracking the two AMS agents all the way to Dr. Curien. After they left, he took the dying scientist's research and swore he would see to it that Dr. Curien's plans were realized.<br><br>Forwarding to the year 2000, we find that Goldman has done just that. Using the research, he has re-created the horrific scenes found within the Curien mansion -- only this time, an entire town has been overrun by monsters. After hearing the news, James Taylor and the new AMS agent Gary Stewart enter the city with their guns blazing.<br><br>Ported directly from the Arcade, The House of the Dead 2 is the Dreamcast's first light gun shooter. Players assume the role of either James Taylor (first player) or Gary Stewart (second player) in their quest to find Goldman and stop the genetic terror that is threatening the once peaceful town.<br><br>There are a few different game modes: Arcade, Original, Training, Boss, and Ranking. The Arcade mode is an exact conversion of the original arcade version of The House of the Dead 2, whereas the Original option features acquired items and bonuses. The acquisition of items throughout the city comes by shooting various barrels or boxes -- hidden items like gun power-ups and health packs are secretly strewn about.<br><br>A relatively common Sega home version inclusion is the Boss mode, which allows players to fight every boss they've encountered in the game. The idea is to kill them as fast as possible without dying. Players new to the light gun genre, as well as those looking for some new challenges, may want to try out the Training mode. Training sets you up with certain scenarios to complete, for example, shooting all the enemies in under thirty shots or saving all the hostages. Each time a training scenario is completed, players are awarded a star that goes towards their overall ranking (which can be accessed on the main menu screen).<br><br>Gameplay is fairly similar to the original The House of the Dead. Played from a first-person perspective, The House of the Dead 2 is an on-rails shooter broken into five different chapters (Judgement, Hierophant, Tower, Strength, and Magician) with multiple paths. On-rails simply means the game moves players down a preset path. Slightly different in this game is that players are allowed you to choose their path by either saving or failing to save innocent people. Some paths are much more difficult than others, but those difficult ones may lead to greater rewards -- finding them is the trick!<br><br>The House of the Dead 2 can be played with the standard Dreamcast controller (via analog stick) or a third-party light gun (sold separately).

A++++++++++ I've ordered 3 Ataris from 3 different vendors in recent weeks....THIS was the only vendor that took the time to bubble wrap, and package things well. The other two units (from different vendors) both arrived damaged. Thank you so much for putting in the effort to pack things well!

    It's fun, but...

    Now, I am a semi-fan of light gun shooters, but I'm disappointed that the blood in this game is green and not red. I am very picky to save all the civilians.

    Works great til the end it freezes at times

    Game works great until the end because the disc scratches it just goes black screen, if I would have known this I wouldn’t have bought

  • Really good conversion of the arcade game, aged in graphics compared to modern games, but definitely aged well

    Having owned all 3 region releases of this game, I can confirm that it's a solid experience. The lightgun action (so long as you have a CRT monitor/TV) is great and requires good skill. The story overall is pretty good aswell if you take the other 5 games into account. It's only downside according to others is the voice acting, but being partially tone deaf, only two of the characters VA's really stood out as bad to me. Also the ability to choose between green and red blood is also a bonus. And as usual for tHotD, the soundtrack is great and really helps to get you into the action. Just be sure to have a 50/60hz CRT, as lightguns won't work one anything else, and playing with a standard control or arcade stick is pretty hard to do well.

  • One of my favorites HOTD2

    House of the Dead 2 is a classic, I have always been a huge fan of the Resident Evil series so actually holding a gun in my hands and blowing Zombies away was just the right antidote for me. The ONLY downfall with House of the Dead 2 is that in order to really enjoy this game, you need to have the gun, and if you have a plasma or LCD tv then the gun does not work. So it is either downgrade your tv back to the old glass screen or don't play it with the gun. Sorry folks, it is sad but true. I was surprised when I got my plasma and the gun didn't work. I could play it with the regular controller but it is just not the same. If you have the old style tv then you're all set to blow away some zombies...with the gun!

  • House Of The Dead 2

    It’s an awesome arcade shooter that transfers well to the home console. Nostalgia at its finest! Super fun game to play with others or solo! Overall an awesome game!!
