The House of the Dead III (Xbox, 2002)

first of all, this is TWO games in one. If you beat House of the Dead III, you unlock House of the Dead II. Both games are awesome in the arcades and nothing is lost in the translation to home console.

The xbox expertly handles the graphics. Of course, like most shooting games, the dialogue and voiceovers aren't spectacular. But if you want a great story, play an rpg, this is for blasting zombie faces with shotguns.

For the price of two MadCatz Xbox blasters or other multi-platform guns you can find online, and the price of this game, you can have tons of fun, especially with a friend. Difficulty levels can be toggled higher and lower so you can actually beat it the first time through and then go back again later with higher difficulties for added challenge after you know the boss patterns and whatnot.

Hours of fun and entirely worth it. Only downside is I don't know of any other xbox games that use the guns other than Silent Scope Complete, which is also awesome and has all three silent scope games in one disc. If you get the guns and games cheap, its a worthy investment for the fun you'll get out of it.

Awsome game. You have to beat the third one to unlock the first two house of the deads. Calibrating your light gun is a little bit of a pain in the ass. But once you get it to where it needs to be then youll be ready to mow down sum zombies.

now make sure you have a lightgun, otherwise you have wasted your money on this game.
this really does remind me of virtua cop. this is the 1st great light gun for the xbox or ps2, so you really should pick this up.
i suggest you get the green madcatz gun. i have had the best experience with this gun.
it usually runs around $20 and then game is $30.
this is a must have for your collection.

I HAD A BLAST PLAYING THIS AND FIRING AWAY AT THE HOARDES OF ZOMBIES AND OTHER CREATURES. FUN, FUN, FUN!!

I got purchased house of the dead for the xbox it came with a blaster gun. havent had a chance to try it out yet but it looks to be in great shape! would recomend this seller to anyone! fast shipping! and answered all questions very quickly!

This game flashes a lot. More than any other game I've ever bought. Don't buy it if you get seizures easily, but it's a great game otherwise.

I have an X BOX and it is always hard to find X Box games anywhere. Well, here and Crigelist... OHH I know bad bad! I played this game at a friends house on their X box 360... and liked the shooting action.. and whole game play ... the story line kinda of chessy but WHO ... I ask you who does not like ZOMBIES.. and Killer Frogs and dead people coming at you with chain saws..I ask you who? But All in all... I like it.. and it's fun. I will enjoy this game and so will my grand kids.. ONE DAY...I think that's I bought I love playing games and I'll pass it down to my kids. So on, and so on. LOVE THIS GAME. 5 Stars *****

I bought this game because I remember so fondly dropping quarters into the arcade machine and playing this with my best friends. Thankfully, this version is every bit as true to the Arcade original as it could be...and it's compatible with Xbox 360! It is a First Person Shooter but your characters are on a rail system much like Time Crisis or Area 51. This means that the game will point you in the direction you're supposed to go and move you along. All you have to do is aim and shoot. The graphics aren't realistic...but neither were the graphics in the Arcade version. Rather they're more colorful and cartoonish. There are two game modes: Survivor and Time Attack and after playing through the entire game, you'll unlock House of The Dead 2. After that, there isn't much replay value. Light Guns don't work with the Xbox 360, so expect to use the thumb sticks to move your crosshairs around on the screen. Also, there are no weapon upgrades. Your only weapon is a shotgun with an endless supply of shells (no need to hunt for ammo). On the hardest and most challenging setting, the game is still quite easy to finish and will only take a few hours at most. The best time to pull out this game is with a room full of friends. Time Attack Zombie Killing Parties are always the most fun.

If you're nostalgic for the Arcade Classic, go ahead and try this game. You won't be disappointed with it. Just don't expect too much from it and you won't be disappointed. At best, it's a good break from Gears of War 2 until you're ready to return to your rank in the COG Army.

On average, you can find this game for about $12-15.

this shooting game is pretty good , the zombies and creatures are scarey, but the problem i had with this game is the save spots or lack of , you cant save when you want to there were barely any times that the game saved for you so it kinda reminded me of the game systems back in the days where you play for hours and if you died a certain amount of times you were out of luck and had to start over from the begining , if it was not for that issue i would love everything else the graphics are awsome the sound effects are awsome , its just the save issue that is a problem , there are special guns you can buy so you can really have the feel of a shooting game , if you done mind the saving issue then you will probably like this game.

I like that it's a 2 player shooting game, dislike that it's not enough realistic when playing it. I decided to buy the game to play something different.

I bought the Houd of the Dead 3 for my fiance's christmas gift to go along with his xbox 360. He loves this game and has not stopped playing it. The graphics are really good. Although it is a violent game i would not recomment this for younger kids.

Great, but you need a light gun to play it. The difficult setting is very difficult, the only difference between settings is the game speed.

THIS GAME IS LIKE ACTION MIXED WITH ADVENTURE. IT ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DISLIKE THAT IT IS REAL HARD TO SHOT SOMETIMES. I TRIED TO RE-CALIBRATE IT BUT THE GAME KEPT ON POINTING AND SHOOTING AT SOME OTHER PLACE. IT IS A GREAT GAME.

this is a great game that plays very well with a controller if you dont have a light gun. the full version of house of the dead 2 is also on the disk, you unlock it by beatiing the game. If you like gun games or the house of the dead games I highly recomend this one.

I decided to buy this game because I love the arcade game. It's not that great of a game. The graphics are horrible compared with today's and there's not much of a story. Basically all you do is shoot and that's it. I still love it even with all it's drawbacks but it's not one of the best games out there.

As advertised and fast shipping. Was what i wanted and at a good price. Game was fun with their cheesy lines but had a blast killing zombies. Thanks.

Wasn't that great, just like other shooter games, Nothing too great about this... Also the graphics weren't that great, even for xbox... Im rating this 2/5

I Thought It Would 've Been Like And Arcade On My Big Screen Tv But It Sucks. Don't Buy It. I Spend 45 Dollars For Nothing.

excellent game..full of action. good graphics. love it! wish house of the dead 1 & 2 were available.

I need to contact you the light gun stoped working.I tried diferent cables,but
it does not reconize the light gun.My other controllers work for the game.Any ideas?
