I`ve played it a little bit now and the sound from the wiimote speaker is just a**... they could have used the sound from 2&3 instead of this clicking sound... what gun does a click-sound when being fired?

 

[-=SkReeK=-]

he, same as i thought, the "click" doesn't fit quite. trick is to turn up the volume of your tv so it matches the volume of the wiimote (or the other way round). i had my tv volume quite low, the click really sounded very weak then ^^

 

[lou_weed]

you change weapon with 1, or + or - (cant remember). you dont need the nun chuck for anything.

well its 1 and 2 , thanks .
it really sucks though , why couldnt they let us choose a control scheme ? whats bad with the d-pad ? ? ?

As for slowdowns - I belive I've read in the IGN's review, that, yes, there are slowdowns in the game now and then. Something to do with low wii horsepower, low memory (IGN's words), general developer laziness and damned Nintendo attitude (my words

).

So I think that in this case Backup Launcher is not the main problem, but the game itself.

i was just coming here to say the same thing... i watched an IGN trailer on youtube earlier and not only was the problem visible from the demo he gave, he also mentioned it as well so it's definitely nothing to do with the backup launcher.

I was about to ask if there are slow-downs too when using the original version -- won't buy it if that's the case. The presentation is pretty awesome despite this and it exceeds my expectations so far -- I just love that Grindhouse B-movie flair.

Gonna say that I'm somewhat surprised at the sheer level of extreme bad language in this game. I know it's to fit in with the games B-movie grindhouse theme but I can already hear those Daily Mail readers rustling their newspapers in disapproval.

 

[callmebob]

Played this for an hour or so, and

I love my Wii again

This game alone is enough reason to own a Wii!

I just love the whole atmosphere/presentation, and this will be like tetris for me!

 

[CreX]

Yes... REALLY nice title! Gonna play this weekend!

lol,
not coming out in germany (because of the law), but german language

lol! Ye.. I've heard about strong censorship in Germany. Don't you get any game with violence? Can you only get games like Harvest Moon? I love Harvest Moon for that matter, but you get my point.

 

[raulpica]

This game is AWESOME.

I love the two main characters. Finished it in something like 2-3 hours, but there are extra modes

I now want a sequel. This is the best lightgun game I've ever played

 

[Akoji]

Hey guys when I put the game in my wii it ask to update... should I do it? I regionfrii'ed it and I will BrickBlock it too...
I don't want to brick it...

If it was on the PS3 or 360 no one would care, I've heard worst language in other games and no one complained its just that the Wii has a name for being a family friendly console.

I reckon this would have had a 18 just from the last chapter, great boss.

Absolutely fantastic boss.
Not to mention what happens with her son! Awesomely gross.

 

[xtoc]

Why is there also a release "House of the dead overkill *uncut*"

What's differend with this one?

 

[f00had]

Is it just me or does the game not work after the train stage? Like the guys are running through the woods, I shoot that gold brain at the beginning then they look behind them and just stop.

Does anyone find that this game stutters a lot using Backup Loader Gamma?

yes, for like a split second every 10 or so seconds. to be honest, i just got used to it.
though i would be interested to find a way round it.

Just an update for anyone wondering:

My wii is softmodded, PAL.

Burnt the image 3 times: Datawrite at 8x, Datawrite at 4x, and Verbatim at 2.4x
All 3 have the stutter... more like half a second every 10 seconds or so. Sometimes the pause is longer.
Surprisingly, it's the Datawrite 4x that performs the best.

As support for SEGA, I bought the game today. The legit copy does not have as much stuttering at all!
It has split-second stutters once every 15 or so seconds, noticeable but don't get in the way at all.

So, if you're experiencing the same stutters as I am, then it's not normal behaviour, and perhaps invest in the real version

i tried the game but there was no german language in it. can anybody confirm thats no german is included ?

 

[Nocturno]

I´m trying to play this game on a USA NTSC Wii with wiikey 2, wii recognize it but when I click start on disc channel, the screen turns black and nothing happens.

does it happen to any of you?

 

[Satangel]

Yeah, it happened to me too.
You should install Gecko OS (google it/search it on GBAtemp/WiiBrew) and it worked fine then.

What a great game! I've never laughed more with a game then with this!
I played it till 3 AM with my friend, just laughing all the time.
