Back when the famous Agent G was still fresh out of the academy, he teamed up with hard-boiled bad-ass cop Washington and a lone stripper Varla Guns to investigate stories of mysterious disappearances in small-town Louisiana.

Review by IGN

“House of the Dead: Overkill – Extended Cut is one of the best reasons to own a PlayStation Move in months, but that's more a reflection of the weak Move lineup than the game being anything other than a solid light-gun shooter… Still, let's not overlook what the game gets right. The grindhouse treatment is cool, collectables dot the background of every level, and who doesn't love blasting limbs off psycho clowns with a couch co-op friend?”

IGN RATINGS FOR THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD: OVERKILL – EXTENDED CUT (PS3)
8.0 Presentation
The grindhouse vibe rocks with its film filter and love of gore. Sometimes, the language can go too far and the story is nonsensical, but that's part of the exploitation deal.
7.0 Graphics
The levels and action look good, but the characters in cutscenes have hair cutting through shoulders and lip sync issues.
7.5 Sound
The ‘70s soundtrack is spot-on. Voice acting is stiff, but that’s part of the grindhouse experience the developers are pushing.
8.0 Gameplay
Responsive shooting satisfies and entertains. The challenge could be increased, but blowing off heads and trying to nab every collectable kept me on my toes.
7.5 Lasting Appeal
The nine levels shouldn't take more than a few hours to run through. There are secrets to double back for and a new mode that unlocks, but none of it is amazing. Just more things to shoot.
7.5
