This game looks pretty good - i had the first and second one and am sure that this will be a hit and even better with it being on the wii !!!!

Excellent zombie-shooter conversion

Atomic Punk from Southampton, England [Highly rated reviewer] , 16/04/2008

A faithful conversion of the coin-op zombie blaster. If you liked the arcade versions of these games you'll enjoy these just as much as they are practically identical.

The only difference I can find between the Wii version and the arcade is in the reload mechanism. In the arcade you had to pull the trigger while pointing the gun offscreen. On the Wii version you don't need to pull the trigger. This can be slightly annoying if you're trying to aim at something at the very edge of the screen and happen to 'slip off', causing an unintentional reload. The delay during a reload can result in you getting a nasty bite from one of the undead minions. But at least it encourages you to aim more accurately.

For those unfamiliar with the series, if you like shooting games, gore and zombies then this shouldn't disappoint. I'd rate HOTD3 over HOTD2 as the improved graphics make for a better atmosphere, especially if you're playing at night and you turn the lights down.

OH WHAT A GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MetalHead from Norwich [Highly rated reviewer] , 07/05/2008

This game is great!! i bought it thinkin that it would be ok, oh how wrong i was. ITS AWSOME!!!!!!!

the gameplay is quick and easy to pick up with a load of variety. the graphics might not be as good in HOTD2 but the gameplay definately makes up for it!!

HOTD3's graphics are way better and so is the gameplay as it is faster and there are a few 'levels' to choose from.

Overall HOTD 2 & 3 Return is well worth the money and the stars!!! i would definately recommend to people who love fast flowing first person shooters to get this game.

so so zombie shooter

TheOrs from Southampton [Highly rated reviewer] , 14/08/2008

decent enough arcade shooter. personally I prefer the Time Crisis series but it's a good rental title and ok for at least an evenings worth of entertainment... maybe two, seeing as there's two games.

don't expect any depth or variety to the gameplay, it's just point and shoot. but as far as point and shoot games go, it's alright.
