Playing this game is like walking into a real horror movie. It's well thought out and you never now exactly what is behind the next door.

More variety in the levels and mini-games would have made it an absolute must-have.

It really gives the sensation of an adrenaline rush as you play this game.

Fans of the genre (who will definitely buy a gun) should get a couple hours of enjoyment.

A hard game to review simply because it's so very, very good in almost all the right places except for its length. [Dec 2002, p.105]

What brings this game down is its completion time. Most players will finish the game in half an hour.

It's the shortest game ever, and that's not acceptable for a full price release. And no matter how 'pumped' we feel after playing it, it's a minigame. It should be a tenner - not forty quid. [Rating at £10 = 80]

If you like rail shooters, this one is a definite pick-up. Mow down zombies as fast as you can with your shotgun, and also a complete version of The House of The Dead 2 is included (which I'm sure must have hurt The House of The Dead 2's sales after 2002). Really fun game I've played for many years. Excellent.

Summary From the darkest corners, cadavers and zombies return to haunt your every move. In The House of the Dead III, you'll plow through the undead with shotgun in hand as you explore a postapocalyptic wasteland. The new shotgun can take out multiple enemies in a single blast. Take out wave after wave of horrific zombies as you travel different...
