Item Description
Somewhere in a zombie-choked Venice, an AMS agent is yelling at a fleeing civilian, and the line reading is so gloriously stiff that players are still quoting it a quarter century later. The House of the Dead 2 is the rare arcade shooter that became famous for its cheese and stayed popular because the shooting underneath is so good. Built by Sega's WOW Entertainment for the NAOMI arcade board, it came home as a Dreamcast launch title in September 1999 and brought nearly the full arcade experience with it.
The story picks up about a year after the Curien Mansion disaster of the first game. Agents James Taylor and Gary Stewart are sent into the canals and piazzas of a city overrun by a fresh outbreak, searching for the missing Agent G while trying to get civilians out alive. Those civilians matter. Your health is a row of torches, and you lose one for every hit you take and for every bystander you accidentally shoot. Saving people earns health back, so does smashing crates and barrels for first-aid kits, and the choices you make about who to rescue send you down different routes through each stage. Two runs rarely look exactly alike.
The bosses are a highlight, each named for a tarot card: Judgment, the Hierophant, the Tower with its swarm of giant serpents, the chainsaw-swinging Strength, the Magician and finally the Emperor, with the businessman Caleb Goldman pulling the strings behind the whole outbreak. How you finish shapes the ending, from how many continues you burned to whether both players made it to the final fight, which gives a short arcade game real reasons to keep coming back.
The Dreamcast version was designed around a light gun on a CRT television, but it plays with a standard controller too, and two players can share the screen for proper couch co-op. It was such a strong foundation that Sega later turned it into The Typing of the Dead, swapping the guns for keyboards and keeping the zombies. Many fans still call it the high point of the series, and on the Dreamcast it is a perfect slice of turn-of-the-millennium arcade Sega, gloriously cheesy dialogue included.
