The House of the Dead III

The next installment of the famous arcade series, created mainly for gaming saloons. The third part was initially released only on the Xbox console (2002), and after a three-year break it was decided to release the PC version.

The action is observed from FPP and the game is quite unusual. Unlike many popular shooters, we cannot control the main character. The target sight visible on the screen is used to track the emerging opponents. Despite the fact that the plot does not play too much of a role during the game (it is illustrated by cutscenes made on the game engine), it is worth noting its progress.

The action of the third part was set 19 years after the events that took place in House of the Dead 2. The plot revolves around the characters known to fans of the series. Lisa Rogan tries to find her father together with an individual named G (one of the main characters in the second part of the saga). The girl learns that he is being held in a well-guarded complex. Dr. Curien, who has appeared in all parts of the series, is planning to thwart the plans of the main characters. This time, he will release undead and deadly mutants into battle. One of the main advantages of this game is the dynamic course of the story. Monsters appearing on the screen must be efficiently eliminated, otherwise they will hurt the main character. The controlled character has a certain limit of lives - loosing those will end with a game over. In addition to the aforementioned beasts, from time to time there are exceptionally strong bosses, who are usually destroyed by shooting at fixed parts of their bodies. It is also worth mentioning that the environment is highly interactive. Objects visible on the screen can and in many cases should be destroyed. Some items leave behind valuable first aid kits or other bonuses that you can use while playing. The locations of the game world are quite diverse - during the game we visit urban areas or a huge underground research complex.
