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?

-Resident Evil was made for Wii.

+1, original content

-I've never played it before.

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

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

-1, this is so not the place to start

-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.

-House of the dead is $10 cheaper.

+1, can't argue with half a pizza

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

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

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

-1, not original content

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

+0, see above, also HoD3 was kinda lame

So which one should I get?

RE: -0.5
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.

[Brentai]

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

I'll get to work on it.

LEON, HELP!

HELP ME, LEON!

LEON, HELP!

HELP ME, LEON!

LEON, H-*blam*

Oh, nooooooo...

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

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.
