The House of the Dead: Overkill - Extended Cut is an HD port of the Nintendo Wii game, House of the Dead: Overkill. Extended Cut is PlayStation Move compatible, and I found it to be a pretty enjoyable game. Like the other House of the Dead titles, you're tasked with killing every mutant that comes your way, unless you'd rather die instead. I generally enjoy rail shooters, and this one is no different.

The game is split into ten chapters, with four major "playable" characters. Although you do not choose your character, their stories intertwine throughout the various chapters. There are cutscenes both before and after each chapter which serves as a means to pass off a cheesy story. Which brings me to the main reason I love the game. House of the Dead: Overkill - Extended Cut is completely ridiculous and knows it. Between the generally funny banter between characters during gameplay and the narrator's cheesy remarks, the game looks and sounds like a B-movie. Add in a graphical effect that makes the game look like a low-budget film, and you have HotD:O - Extended Cut.

The game plays like any traditional rail shooter. You are initially given only a handgun, but can later purchase and upgrade other weapons as you gain more cash. There are numerous collectibles for you to keep an eye out for, as well as a shoot-able power-up that slows time so that you can see the gory explosion of mutant brains when you get a nice headshot. After completing the game the first time around, you are given access to the Director's Cut mode, which features the same ten chapters, only this time they are a bit longer and have additional paths that you explore. You also unlock a set of challenges for each level, ensuring that you will want to replay each level numerous times.

I did find issue with the PlayStation Move controls, however. In other games that utilize this control scheme, the PlayStation Move control worked excellently and provided an accurate shot. However, Extended Cut seems to suffer from inaccuracy. I found it nearly impossible to get the Move to shoot with complete accuracy, although an on-screen reticle tends to alleviate the slight inaccuracy. After getting the controls as accurate as possible, I noticed that it would lose it's accuracy after an extended period of time. It doesn't make the game unplayable, but it can get annoying after extended sessions. Luckily, it is very easy to recalibrate the controls, but I still think that with perfect Move controls, Extended Cut would be a must-own PlayStation Move game.

Overall, House of the Dead: Overkill - Extended Cut has a very long name. It is also a fun game. Throw in two player co-op, and you have an excellent game to play with a friend when you feel like blowing up mutants. From the hilarious voice acting (one character drops the f-bomb in nearly every sentence. Seriously) to the simple fun of rail shooting, Extended Cut offers a good amount of content for a game with an MSRP of $39.99. If you are a fan of rail shooters (and don't have small children), I would definitely recommend giving House of the Dead: Overkill - Extended Cut a "shot".
