You see, while House Of The Dead 2 is almost a carbon copy of the coin-op and the console version, somebody somewhere didn't play the game the way most PC players will. The game isn’t a masterpiece but is enjoyable throughout, the only terrible and sore part of the experience is the disturbingly bad voice-acting, it just pops out of the screen every time you hear it, and you can’t unnoticed it.
