House of the Dead: Overkill is one of the best titles for teen and adult Wii owners. Note that it's definitely rated M for a reason however. Think a playable Shaun of the Dead on crack, and you'll see what HOTD: Overkill has to offer. The loading screen says "RATED XXX", and that's accurate (not to mention very grindhousey). From the first cutscene, there's a nonstop barrage of F-bombs (almost 200, in fact, which gave the game a WORLD RECORD). Not to mention, this is a House of the Dead game. So expect plenty o' violence. However, in keeping with the total grindhouse nature of this game, it looks totally fake. The headshots are extravagantly gory, but again, they look fake. The only major sexual content is in the opening, which is basically a zombie striptease (but it's not terribly explicit). Overkill is a cinch to play, especially if you have the Wii Zapper gun peripheral. It's also very fun to play with a friend. However, the game is short (just like another awesome grindhousey game on the Wii called MadWorld). But if you can overlook that, play this game. You won't be disappointed.

how can you no call this game classic
the gsme is so funny by the way the f word is used so much you become imune in the very first level. the game is campy fun gory profane, the only real thing for sex is the opening striptese sequence. the game is fun it's nothing more than a rail shooter but it's good rail shooter. if you are mature gamer. and played every other mature game out there then this is a must play

Lots of swearing, otherwise fine
whilst the blood isnt too explicit, the game overuses the word f*ck.
it used to have the record for most uses of the "f" word but that was beaten by mafia 2.
if you dont mind your kids playing games with swearing or your child is in secondary school then this is fine.
it is a great game nonetheless. it takwes the mic out of the old horror films and it is absolutely hilarious.

Horror-game too horriffic for little kids
This game is too gory for all kids ages 10 and up. It has nude zombies, gore every second of the game and it has NO positive messages

House of the Dead Overkill
First off parents. Even if you think your kids can't take strong language, think again. They here it at school all the time. So they are used to it. This game holds the world record of most curse words in a game. "I'm gonna rip your motherf*****" balls off!" There are also a couple of breasts seen. And it's zombies. So it's obviously violent.

ONE OF THE BEST GAMES OF THE YEAR!
There are very few mature games for the wii and this is one of them.I got it for my wii and it is awesome me and my brother play it 6,7 hours a day it's soooo funny and god,I can't believe this won the Guinness book of world records for game with most profanity ever it only has ( this is not an accurate number,since I counted it myself and lose track of the number sometimes) but I think it has 100+ f bombs in it not really profane at all have you seen the movie f*ck ?yes that's what I call the most profane thing on earth ever it has almost 1000 over f-words in it call that extreme I saw that movie when I was 8 and THAT'S totally what I call extreme by the way violence in this isn't at all bad comparing this to splatter house it's tons less violent
Have this for my wii and ps3 system I have the Extended Cut(Uncut version) and the normal version,but I almost don't play the normal at al it's not fun and a lot of things are missing in it that are in the extended cut I only play normal when I'm bored or something otherwise it's just like a unplayed game sitting there.
