If it wasn't for the listless animation and the insistence on all the text to look horrible then HotD 3 would be nudging a B grade for its visuals. The zombies are pretty much confined to shuffling or flinging themselves at you so a half-arsed attempt at animation works perfectly well for them. The animation isn't so hot, especially of the central characters, which move like marionettes with bowel control issues. There's plenty of gore if you so choose, although it is rather cartoony and the wounds on the zombies look more like exploded raspberries than gunshot wounds. The crispness of the PC's high resolution isn't let down by terrible texturing and it's certainly a very colourful game. Some of the environments are impressive in their scope and there's plenty of variety to the undead creatures you have to blow away. You may want to watch the cutscenes if you have bought the game and are trying to justify the expense, otherwise they are utterly forgettable and redundant. There's the semblance of a plot, concerning a secret project gone bad, the daughter of one of that project's scientists and a shitload of zombies.

Which, if you are similarly afflicted to Leonard in Memento, could be a realistic way of passing long days alone at home. Once you shell out twenty quid you can play this game as often as you like.

In fact, this cost issue is the only thing that HotD 3 on the PC really offers. The games are incredibly simple affairs, with little more for the player to do than gun down the bad zombies and their undead minion mates and reload, and try to get to the end of the game without chucking enough pound coins into the machine to buy yourself a nice stone cottage by a briskly flowing river. Following a long tradition of lightgun games, HotD 3 pits you against wave after wave of enemies in an on-rails shotgun experience. You may or may not be familiar with the long running and highly popular House of the Dead arcade games.
