The typewritten word is truly mightier than the gun. The House of the Dead 2 . This game is fun. Players are pitted against gruesome zombies in a variety of compelling locations. When a zombie appears, a word or a phrase pops up in a little foreground window, and the player must type the word or phrase quickly and accurately before the zombie attacks, in order to defeat him.
Most projectiles approach rather slowly, just as most of the enemies are slow to attack.
This is a good thing, and an utterly necessary thing, as players require an ample amount of time to view the next word or phrase, cognitively process it, and respond to it. If enemies were too quick to attack, then the game would be no fun for dummies like me who need to look up at the screen, see the current word or phrase, and then look back down at the keyboard in order to type it. For the most part, players don t need to worry at all about spacing or capitalization. Typing against the undead can be hairy enough without having to fumble for the spacebar or the shift key. You won't find yourself leaping in fear from zombies with silly phrases like these.
