I wonder if anyone involved in this debate has even played both games... because outside of having a bunch of adorable yet vicious critters with grimdark world implications.. they're nothing alike
Might as well be comparing Resident Evil to House of the Dead, both have zombies, both take place in a house, both have terrible voice acting.. but one's intended to be scary and has very limited resources and depressing music to give that feel, while the other is a goofy action game intended to be B-Grade schlock where you just mindlessly shoot things
Dude, I love House of the Dead
So do I, I'm not knocking it, but you play it for the schlock and awe, not to be legitimately frightened or experienced a tense environment... and in that sense comparing it to Resident Evil because they both have zombies in a mansion made by mad science, is foolish.
I know, and you're absolutely right.
I just wanted to let you know that House of the Dead rocks.
It really does
