House of the Dead 3 alive with new content
Sega's House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return actually has something new to offer, other than "being on the Wii" and "different crosshair shapes!" Sega has added an Extreme Mode to House of the Dead 3, which adds new player abilities and ramps up the difficulty -- perhaps to an extreme degree?
Enemies move more quickly and the shotgun's blast radius is smaller. But in order to balance the increased difficulty, the player has been given a new attack. You can now press A to perform a melee attack that not only knocks enemies away, but also blocks attacks and projectiles.

This looks great. Good to see the game's not a straight port. To be fair, HOTD3 looks pretty good overall. 2 is old but at least it didn't suffer like G did.

Good Stuff... I was beginning to think this game was going to be too easy..kudos to sega..
Oh btw... is anybody feeling me with a Jurassic Park arcade port to the Wii petition? I would love that. They could do the same thing like their doing with HOD, port JP 1,2, and 3 to the wii. Please, i'd love to hear some of your insight.

Sweet! I'm excited for anything that will just add more replayability to this package!

I'm going to be extremely cheap with the melee move. I also like how the reloading will be faithful to the arcade with moving off the screen then back. Should help reconnect easier since I've been trained that way.
