The House of the Dead: Overkill is a unique rail shooting game compare to the series. Unlike other rail shooter games focusing on tension and reflexes, it goes over the top with its B movie style action set in the 70's with a more cheesier and funnier cast, narrator, enemies and dialogue filled with F-bombs. The rail shooting style here is easier than the other series and the boss less difficult to handle.
'''The House of the Dead: Overkill''' is a first-person [[rail shooter]] video game developed by [[Headstrong Games]] and published by [[Sega]] for the [[Wii]].
