Despite all that extra content though, House of the Dead: Overkill’s one real weakness is still a lack of any real length. There are less than ten levels in Story Mode and, while each is sufficiently different and hilarious (you can shoot everything from Silent Hill-esque nurses to evil clowns that remind us of Blood), you’ll still chew through them in less than five hours. We've also got to point out that the game can stutter occasionally. It's only slight and generally only when the view rushes from one area to another, but it is there and it is annoying.

House of the Dead: Overkill House of the Dead: Overkill - ReviewGranted, there’s a trio of minigames to satisfy you murderous compulsions (is it murder if they’re already dead? – Ed.) and each of these can take up to four players, but that’ll add an extra hour or two at best. Overkill has an awful lot going for it, including what is easily the best Wii-mote gun adaptor we’ve ever seen if you want to pick one up, but it’s still not very long in the tooth.
