Review-Faithful arcade port of a fun action game with a setting similar to House of the Dead.
But what is Michael Jackson doing in a zombie based game? Hold on…in Thriller, he used to hang out with zombies so I shouldn’t be that surprised I guess…plus, as time passes, he even started to look like a zombie so I guess Michael Jackson does belong in here!
Anyway, this 3D scrolling fighter is pretty decent. The universe is basically the one found in House of the Dead but now you get the chance to beat the living crap out of the undead with all kinds of weapons.
The graphics are nice, but the game does get kind of repetitive after a while. Also, the main characters lack some frames of animations since their movement is kind of stiff.
Aside from these considerations, the game is pretty playable. The 2 players mode is a welcome addition.
Bottom line: a nice action game for your dreamcast, mindless and entertaining...6,5/10
