Resident Evil or House of The Dead?
« on: April 25, 2008, 10:32:56 PM »

So I'm going to get a rail shooter for Wii, and I can't decide between Resident Evil and House of the Dead.

-Resident Evil was made for Wii.
-I've never played it before.
-I'd like to look into RE's storyline.
-I've always wanted to play a RE game.

-House of the dead is $10 cheaper.
-House of the dead has two games instead of one.
-House of the dead is not made for Wii, only a port.
-I've played House of the dead 2, but not House of the dead 3.

So which one should I get? :vampire:

-Resident Evil was made for Wii.

+1, original content

Quote
-I've never played it before.

+0.5, since you apparently didn't play half of HoD either

Quote
-I'd like to look into RE's storyline.

-1, this is so not the place to start

Quote
-I've always wanted to play a RE game.

-1, RE games are pretty much the opposite of a shooter.  They're more like... don't-shooters.

Quote
-House of the dead is $10 cheaper.

+1, can't argue with half a pizza

Quote
-House of the dead has two games instead of one.

+0, it's more like two half-games instead of one

Quote
-House of the dead is not made for Wii, only a port.

-1, not original content

Quote
-I've played House of the dead 2, but not House of the dead 3.

+0, see above, also HoD3 was kinda lame

HoD: 0

Are you sure we're talking about the same game? I wouldn't call this a "don't shooter"

Plus why wouldn't a game that chronicles the first 3 (and side games?) games of RE be a good place to start?

Exactly.  That's not a typical Resident Evil game.  Typical Resident Evil games are almost entirely about conserving your ammo.

Because you're getting tiny chunks of a very convoluted (and extremely silly) story without a lot of the context or explanation.

Solution: Get Resident Evil 4 for the Wii and fuck those other crappy games.

I never played an RE except 4, and am much happier for it.

I legitimately miss Tank Controls, and wish to see them in other genres.

By which I mean to say, Tetris needs Tank Controls.

...that would actually be sort of an interesting, if pretty fucking obnoxious variant.

I'll get to work on it.

Here's what you're going to do. (and this goes for everyone): Buy House of the Dead 2 and 3 Return.

After that, and this is the important part, buy the fuck out of two of these:

http://www.amazon.com/Nyko-87030-Wii-Perfect-Shot/dp/B000X2RKOO

Double fisted HotD and you don't even know.

I've double fisted HotD at a arcade once, it was damn fun. Man, you're making lean towards this now  :MENDOZAAAAA:

Just rented Ghost Squad for Wii. I've been playing it with one of my buddies for a few hours now and, hot damn, these Nyko babies really make all the difference. I can't recommend them enough. I don't think it's got IR calibration like HotD, but whoever programmed the reticule-steadying algorithm should get a fuck damn medal.

I ended up rending RE:UC and getting HoTD2&3R. I ended up reviewing RE:UC but I haven't had a chance to review HoTD2&3R. However, I can tell you that HoTD2&3R is a far better game than RE:UC. Also, the Perfect Shots are crap, the Zapper is way better.

Are you kidding the perfect shots are amazing, the zappers design is just way to weird to hold when playing a game like hotd. Though i agree on ghost squad with kayma. Its a blast playing with a friend.
