The House of the Dead: Overkill

The House of the Dead: Overkill

Overkill is a rail shooter in which the character's movement is predetermined, while the shooting element is controlled by the player aiming the Wii Remote at the screen and moving the scope. The player can point the crosshairs near the edge of the screen to move the camera angle slightly in that direction, allowing for another field of view called the "Danger Cam." The story mode can be played alone or with another human player, with one weapon or with the control of two weapons.

Story

Years ago, during the Cold War, the US military produced a new superhuman formula called Formula X, but the project for its application failed. The bunker for the experiments was shut down and abandoned. In 1991, seven years before the Curien Mansion incident, AMS Special Agent G receives his first assignment and is sent to a small Louisiana town to investigate a series of disappearances and take down a deranged crime boss, Papa Caesar. Due to the presence of mutants, G is forced to team up with police detective Isaac Washington, who wants to avenge the murder of his father, committed by Caesar.
