  House of the Dead: Overkill LR is a solid shooter and I really wanted to like it, but due to the game-breaking instability I can't in good conscience rate it hardcore.

  The House of the Dead: Overkill - The Lost Reels is a fun, if slightly watered-down, arcade-style romp. The bite-sized level chunks are a good fit for mobile gaming and the touch controls should serve as an example to other iOS shooters.

  As fun as dismembering brain-munchers can be in House of the Dead Overkill – The Lost Reels, it starts to feel like a grind midway through the second batch of stages. Given that it doesn’t even take an hour to reach this point, it may mean that each player’s mileage may vary. That said, popping zombie melons on iOS proves to be just as fun as its console predecessors, even without the aid of a Wiimote.

  The House of the Dead: Overkill - The Lost Reels remains a decent virtual light gun game that translates pretty well to iPad, but its graphics haven't aged well and the IAP system is an unwelcome addition.

  If you're a fan of rail shooters, and the initial investment doesn't put you off, House of the Dead Overkill: The Lost Reels is a fantastic addition to the genre that will keep you busy for quite some time.

  Acción constante, sencilla y adulta es lo que nos ofrece este "refrito" del clásico shooter "on rails" de SEGA aparecido previamente en Wii y PS3. Se trata de una producción bien concebida y adaptada a los dispositivos iOS y Android, pero el modelo de pago que se ha escogido nos parece un tanto "injusto" para los jugadores.
