A port of The House of the Dead III
The Typing of the Dead 2, the sequel game to The Typing of the Dead, is an arcade game (ported to Microsoft Windows). It was released in arcades in 2007. This version was a revision of The House of the Dead III, and has only been released in Japan and only for PC as of 2008. While the latter is a standard light gun shooter, Typing replaces the gun with the keyboard. The game is an educational game, as it requires players to enhance their typing skills to be successful. The plot centers around the elimination of the zombie threat after society has collapsed.

Decently advanced sequel that is playable even for non-Japanese speakers but may not be worth the hassle of getting it to work, regardless.
+ relatively modernized 3D graphics with a less constricted camera
+ more diverse gameplay options
+ a little softer soundtrack
+ improved UX from the beginning
+ English translations for everything past the menus
- poorly integrated save data that is obnoxious to set up (requires too much information) and is quite limited for the story
- worse detection for different keyboard layouts necessitating you to learn the Japanese one
