Read full reviewĪ fun game, and parody of 70s horror, but not for everyone.Ĭoming off the Grindhouse craze of Death Proof and Planet Terror, Sega made this game in the same style of 1970s Grindhouse trash. Get this game at a good low price and you will be glad you did, just don't leave it laying around where kids could play it. It is easier to play the game with just the Wii remote instead of using a pistol or rifle adapter, because the reload button is on the top of the remote. The mini games are nice, but not very engrossing. You will find this game to be a bit too short and a bit too easy to complete, but it does have replay value and a harder difficulty setting. I myself did not mind the cursing and thoroughly enjoyed playing this game solo and with friends, but then again, I don't have children.
