The House of the Novelty Costumes

If you think you're done with your copy of The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return, you may be in for a surprise! Sega released these videos of secret modes available in both games contained on the disc. We believe these costumes are unlocked through House of the Dead 2's Original Mode minigame, and it is totally worth the time to unlock the nice old lady costume seen here.
Bruno Delinger, star of Dynamite Deka (which was released over here as Die Hard Arcade with John McClane as the protagonist), has been unlockable in The House of the Dead 2 since the Dreamcast version. It's a somewhat little-known bonus, and we still find it humorously out of place.
The last video features The House of the Dead 3's Extreme Mode, in which you have to shoot specific weak points on zombies to take them down.

maybe its just me, but I don't see the novelty of costumes in a game played in first person

Those addons on the original mode are just sweet, the UFO one is hillarious.
The shotgun and the machine are pure shit, shot gun only gets 2 shots and the splash is not that accurated and the machine, is just like the death blow, but only gets 1 shot, gotta reload after each shot, and seeing how the grenade one doesn't have splash, migth as well put it with the shot and the machine
Damn, Extreme mode is something I wouldn't dare to try alone, yet again, he shots pretty slow, the time he start reloading, i already had reloaded 3 or 4 times, I do play a lot this game, and shooting pretty fast is one of my skills, shame i do have a pretty awfull accuracy.
Had any one notices, that when you have to reload, is easier just to aim low instead of high, i don't know, i find doing better than raising the gun

What i meant was, the shotgun has splash damage, but sometime, won't do any damage, even though I hit.
The machine gun, you get 6 shots, but one press on the B button and you have to reload, it kill zombies with 1 shot, like the Death Blow Bullet, but with the machine gun, with each shot you have to reload.
And about the grenade launches, being a explosive kind of weapon, I was hoping for some splash also, but there's none
