House of the Dead 2 is a titan, having turned 25 years old TODAY. So what changes when you add typing combat, keyboard devices to every character model, and a slew of nonsense phrases and challenge modes?

Well you get a slightly worse but infinitely funnier experience that pairs well with the title without outdoing it (which it wasn't seemingly aiming to do so mission accomplished). How fast can you type the phrase "Pierre, the ambiguous hipster of 1848"? It's dadaist word vomit and Dreamcast polygons...two of my favorite things in the world and a match made in hell.
