Sega has revealed some information on the first level in upcoming Wii zombie shooter House of the Dead: Overkill. In what is Agent G’s first ever assignment, players will be charged to investigate the shady doings of Papa Ceasar, and enter the Palace of Pain.
“He has been dispatched by his agency, the secretive AMS, to investigate Papa Ceasar’s connection to a host of mysterious disappearances,” explains Sega. “At the exact moment G arrives, Detective Washington also turns up at the gates of the plantation house, on the trail of his missing father.
“From the outset a tension exists between these hardboiled professionals, each feeling the other is stepping on their turf. But, when mutants attack, the Detective and the Agent are forced to accept that two guns are better than one and that an immediate and violent response is required.”
As far as Wii games go, this is definitely looking like a hot one for the “hardcore” demographic. It’s just going to be more House of the Dead with a retro look, but I fail to see how that’s a bad thing. It’s better than Carnival Games, at any rate.
