Insanely fun, but without enough effort to compensate for the difference in difficulty between typing and shooting (I finished in one try with credits to spare, while I'm not sure I'll ever see the ending of the original game). Mostly, it makes me think of how much I like House of the Dead 2, and notice what's missing here -- the risk/reward of saving civilians, the always legible enemy design allowing immediate enough understanding of their weak spots to allow careful aiming, and how much I miss these things while playing this. The third boss, who asks questions and requires you to type the correct answer from three choices, is a highlight, and an example of the type of gameplay modification this could've used more of.
