Nothing makes you feel so powerful then mowing zombies I mean Creatures with a shotgun.

House of the dead III is in retrospect a fun game but is it the best in the series? I personally do not think so. It certainly its the game that makes you feel the most powerful no doubt in my mind. The shotgun even with a controller feels like you are hitting your targets. Even playing it at the arcade there is no doubt SEGA wanted you to feel like a badass from the Start. I think this one is the easiest of the Numbered House of the dead, but they for sure throw you in the ringer for the last boss which is easily the HARDEST in the franchise IMO. Clear time was about 28 minutes for me on average with plenty of ways to get you back, like time attack and such. The Special feature it comes with is a BTS video from the director of the game. Overall a fun time. If you know what you are getting into with these Light Gun games I doubt you will have a Horrible time at all unless you are going for the higher difficulties which will test your patience for sure.

I got this as part of the House of the Dead Bundle on PS3 which comes with HOTD III , HOTD 4 and HOTD Overkill, Directors cut for 29.99 last time I checked. These really are trying times to really play these more "Modernly" since they have not been ported anywhere else. I would HIGHLY recommend people curious enough to pick it up!
