Technically competent and kind of fun, this House of the Dead III Trial unfortunately comes up lacking thanks to its brevity and the concessions that have had to be made to bring it in to the home.
It success enabled the concept to become one of the largest franchises in all of SEGAs catalogue having 3 direct. If you just want to make sure House of the Dead III will run on your machine then it is certainly worth a go, otherwise you will find it disappointingly short. There was later a port to the (Windows) PC. A group of college students travels to a mysterious island to attend a rave, which is soon taken over by bloodthirsty zombies. After exploring the sinister-seeming house, Samantha soon comes to realize that her employers are hiding a horrifying secret and have plans to use her, dead or alive.
House of the dead 3 movie full#
It is a teasingly tiny taster of the full product that doesn’t even let you finish the prologue. With Jonathan Cherry, Tyron Leitso, Clint Howard, Ona Grauer. Unfortunately, even as a trail, this offers very little actual game. Once that’s done, you can start blasting apart zombies however you fancy, and enjoying the satisfyingly graphic, head-popping animations. It looks good and runs well, with enough video options to ensure that even if you are playing on an old, none-gaming PC you should be able to find some way to run it. Technically, though, there is nothing wrong with this port.
While this port does make some interesting additions to help make the game feel more involved (your character’s gun and hands are modeled on screen), it just cannot make up for what has been lost. Moving a cursor around the screen with a mouse or controller (assuming you are not one of the handful of people out there with a PC light gun) does nothing to reproduce the joy of the arcade game.
