In the arcade or in the home, Sega's House of the Dead is basically a marriage of Capcom's zombie thriller Resident Evil to the popular Virtua Cop gun game series.

The Video Game Critic
Considering this game came out late in the system's lifecycle, you'd think they could have done a better job. The Saturn light gun, on the other hand, is responsive and exceedingly accurate. In fact, even without calibration, these guns are superior to the ones I have for my Xbox. Despite its flaws, I enjoy playing House of the Dead, especially since the changing paths make each play slightly different. And any game where you shoot killer monkeys can't be all bad.

Game Revolution
While it is always nice to see a new game with my zombie friends in it (even if they are portrayed as stereotypical flesh-eating monsters), it is a shame that it has to be such a mediocre game as this one. House of the Dead is just a quick, sloppy port from the arcade. Sega obviously didn't spend much time on this one and it shows. While the gameplay is still pretty good in most parts, the lousy graphics and minor gameplay glitches drag this one down.
