i guess it was fun to play???

I know the House of the Dead franchise was a great classic, but I really wasn't impressed by this game much.

Maybe it was the fact that the game was released in 2005 or something, but the zombies look really bad in this game lmao. They look like a low poly render of that mudman common infected from Left 4 Dead 2. There were usually a lot of them on the screen and it can be quite overwhelming at times.

Luckily, the game allows you to shove them away. Unlike many of the previous arcade games I have played before, you actually have to reload in this game. You have an SMG with a lot of ammo but I feel like the damage for the SMG is extremely low. I do like the feeling of spraying down zombies though so I really can't complain.

The part I struggled the most with in this game was the Magician. It moved super frickin fast and I could not for the love of my life line up my crosshair with that would on his shoulder. It took a lot of tokens to take this guy down.

Despite being from a classic series, The House of the Dead 4 just didn't impress me much. It is a solid game, but not to the degree that it's exceptional.
