Editorial Review: Think you undid the undead in Dreamcast's gun-crazy fright fest? Think again. The zombies from House of the Dead 2 are back, and they want revenge for your gun-happy ways. In a change from House of the Dead's first-person viewpoint, Zombie Revenge places all characters (including hordes of attacking zombified souls) in a third-person camera view.
A perfect translation of the arcade game by the same name, Zombie Revenge also offers up an original mode that features a few small differences, including the option to play with powered-up guns or in bare knuckles mode (without the aid of handguns).
The graphics are crisp and clean, but the controls are mired in poor response time, and too many functions are assigned to the same buttons. Fans of the arcade version will rejoice at not having to pump quarters into a machine, but average zombie-hunting folks might be better off with Sega's other spooky shooter, House of the Dead 2. --Jeff Young
Pros:
A seamless arcade-to-Dreamcast conversion
Interesting VMU minigames enable players to add strength to their characters
Impressive graphics
Cons:
Ambiguous controls
No save-game feature
You can only carry one weapon at a time

Rating: - Zombie Revenge
Eh this game is alright. When I first bought it I liked it alot. But over time playing it it really aint that great. One thing that really really was horrible was that you couldnt save the game. So you had to get lives, then play from the beggining each time to see how far that you could get. Which in that case, I never beat the game. I got to the house or so, I dont remember that good, but thats it. I never beat the game. Even in 2 player mode. The game was alright graphics, not bad. Sound is alright. Gameplay is cool at times. Recommended? Maybe, but not worth that much money at all. Its got its pro's but also has a lot of cons in it. Its frustrating at times also.

I got this game last year but I did not have a Dreamcast.Now that I finally got one I got to say this game is pretty good.But it is very hard.I can usually beat a game within 2weeks but this one is different.I got to the last level and got killed 3 times.I was a little frustrated because all my credits were gone and I could not finish.I like the game play and it has pretty good graphics for DC.I will finish this game sometime when I have the energy to deal with the frustration.

I found this game in the arcade, I played it with all the money I had. Almost got to the last level, so i came back with my brother and brought enough money to guarentee our victory.
I was stoked when I found out that it was available on DC, I didn't have a dreamcast but I was impressed with a few of the other titles on DC, so I threw down a hundred bucks and got myself a brand new DC, with controller and Memory card. I got this game as well as a few others.
Ok, now to the point. This was a waste of money, the game is impossible to beat, you have 15 lives and no saves. Maybe I am just not any good, but why do they have all the VMU games but you can't actually SAVE your game... and so I got a partner to play, but no, now you just share the 15 lives between the both of you.
This is a fun game, nice weapons, animations, controls, and all that, but its just too repetive, their is virtually no replay value, the 2 player vs. is not even worth trying. The items and enemies are in the same place everytime and there is no randomization of gameplay. Not what you want from a mindless zombie fighting game.
The story makes almost no sense, something about mutants and a computer disk, a mysterious woman hiding in a garage, a gold eye, 3 face cards, a train speeding out of control, a laser, and 3 main characters who... well who knows...

This game has blocky ... graphics. A stupid story. But the gameplay is (kinda) fun. The wepons were good(I like the drill and flame thrower). This game would not be on the top of my wish list/
Rating: - Disappointing
I bought the game because from the description I thought it was a gun game. It does let you use the Mad Catz gun but it makes no difference where you shoot, you might as well use a regular controller. It is NOT a gun game. It is an OK fighter in that mode, unfortunately in the arcade mode it is difficult to control and you get to the first boss level almost immediately. I recommend House Of The Dead 2, Confidential Mission, and Virtua Cop 2 instead of this title if you are looking for a shooter. Although I must say for the price it is still worth playing with if you are just looking for a Dreamcast game. From the description I believed it was a true gun game but it is not so I was disappointed.
