[edit] Gameplay
The House of the Dead 2 has the arcade and original game. It also includes boss mode in which any boss from the game can be battled. The House of the Dead 2 also has a training mode, a set of minigames.
The House of the Dead 3 has a time attack mode where health is replaced with time. The House of the Dead 3 also includes a new unlockable 'extreme' game mode, with tougher enemies and a smaller blast radius on the shotgun. In addition, weapons can now be used as a melee attack to block enemy blows. The melee attack requires the player to reload after each use.[1]
