Description of The House of the Dead 2

The House of the Dead 2 is a near-flawless PC conversion of the hit arcade game of the same name.

The game is a rail shooter like the first game, i.e. you are led by the game down a path similar to Rebel Assault, shooting at zombies and other monstrosities that get in your way. Although the English version that is being distributed by Empire Interactive unfortunately doesn't ship with the PC gun like its Japan counterpart, HOTD2 still manages to be a fun and addictive FPS that everyone should enjoy.

Similar to its predecessor, HOTD2 is not a shoot everything in sight game. You have to be careful not to hit any innocent civilian, and rescuing them from the clutches of the monsters often rewards you with power-ups or, better yet, new paths to follow. This makes the game somewhat replayable as you can do something different (e.g. saving someone's life as opposed to watching him die in the last game) to open up new branches.

As well as the original arcade modes, there is plenty of extra effects. There are 5 game modes including Arcade and Boss, 12 different kinds of zombies including the chainsaw wielding Max and the disgusting Ebitan. End-level bosses are appropriately difficult to kill, although some of them are far too easy to dispose of once you find their weak spots.

With an excellent co-operative multi-play option (across LAN) and 6 chapters of mayhem, HOTD2 is a much more attractive, varied, and longer game than the original. Be warned, though: near-superhuman reflexes and tenacity are prerequisites to finishing one of the best rail shooters ever made. There are even plot twists to keep things interesting, as well as multiple endings.

05/09/2024, still works.
i recommend disc image, its easier to play
ALERT: you need virtualclonedrive or any other app.
step 1: Download disc image
step 2: Open the file (must have WinRAR)
step 3: Click on the folder, then click on the biggest file.
step 4: Press the notification that shows up in the bottom right, then click AutoRun
step 5: Click Install Game (or Play Game if already done)
step 6; Follow the installer instructions.
step 7; Now Play!
step 8: Your start menu should have "THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2" and "CONFIG".
step 9: If you wish to play as 2P on a mouse, go to CONFIG then click "Keyboard + Mouse" for 2P controller.
Enjoy!!!

Samthewut 2024-02-22 -2 points

The installation is worked. However, I can't play because I either can't see the display or the game. Second, there is no game application can be found in my task bar. I am using Window 10, by the way. Is there a way I could fix it?

xProFlipScarab 2024-01-24 1 point

If you getting the No CD error even with the patch see if unmounting the image after "installing" the game fixes it, Mine wasn't working until i did that.

Also using DxWin set to DirectX 7 fixes the buggy window and running on wrong monitor, Setting to windowed does nothing and changing the "screen resolution" to anything but Native stops the game from launching...

Any body manage to get House of the Dead 1 or 2 running at higher resolutions and/or windowed mode?

If you're getting a white screen on AMD cards with dgVooDoo, it's because of newer dgvoodoo ddraw.dll. Downgrade to 2.54, turn on fast video memory access too.

lechesingrasa 2023-01-09 3 points

You must follow WENISWAR's (nickname) instructions in the comments below, it helped me launch the game. Here are some things that I kept in mind:

Before downloading, you must have the programs "WinRAR" and "WinCDEmu" installed. This can be quickly done by searching them online.

Allow the app/game to make changes to your computer. Don't worry, it's simple terms and conditions to agree on, with no dumb viruses or anything. But if you are on a shared computer, you won't be able to play the game without an admin's permission.

Please DO NOT open/modify the game's CD Drive files to ensure the best gameplay.

To play on a gamepad, connect your controller via USB or Bluetooth. Then go to WINDOWS C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2, and click on the "Config" application. The controller should be listed and highlighted. To save, click OK.

Roger Troxell 2022-12-10 -1 point

Gotinox 2022-11-13 -1 point

I followed WENISWAR instruction and it actually works! Just a bit annoying that you need to keep creating the virtual disc to be able to play! But It was worth it!!

WenisWar 2022-10-16 4 points

10. Find your drive or find the game, you will see the icon and game name
11. double click, install, wait for 5 to 10 min
12: Optional- Download NOCD Patch
13: Optional- Find Install DestinaTION OF gAME C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2 and drag NOCD.exe into the directory
14. Optional- Right Click NOCD.exe patch and run as admin- No you no longer need to mount .ccd to run game

Triks 2021-08-16 4 points

I got the game to run, atleast for me :
- Download the game file
- Make a folder (ex. HOTD2) and extract the game ISO file to the folder
- download MagicISO. Run it. Click Tools - Convert to ISO - Select the .cue file and click convert
- right click the .ISO file and open with Windows Explorer
- Open the E: drive ( or what drives the .ISO you mounted in) and double click AUTORUN.exe
- Click install and wait
- Find your game in the folder destination
- Click the .exe

Did anyone manage to get the game to run after the installation? Every time I click on the Hod2.exe file nothing seems to happen. I've tried running on compatibility mode but again nothing happens.

Even the NOCD crack doesn't seem to work. I extracted the files to the same directory I installed the game but an error message appears whenever I click on the crack .exe file, saying it couldn't find the Hod2 file.

1. Takes 21 to 30 minutes to download
2. Find downloads, find installed rar. (You need Winrar archiver)
3. Create a folder ex, "House of the Dead 2 not broken version"
4. Drag and drop rar folder in
5. EXTRACT ALL
6. Wait, and see programs
7. Click folder, find House of the Dead 2. ccr
8. create a disc drive (Strongly prefer last 5 letters of alphabet, ex z x y v u t
9. Go to my computer or ThisPC
10. Find your drive or find the game, you will see icon and game name
11. double click, install, wait 5 to 10 min
12. Close program, re open the program again
13. Click start. PLEASE GIVE THE DEVELOPER 5 STARS! This version has everything unlocked! LIke a premium deluxe version.

PLEASE GIVE THE DEVELOPER 5 STARS! I'm "dead" (pun) serious. Developer did a PERFECT JOB sharing. Very generous too. How many quarters or card swipes we could've spent? Over 50 dollars, literally! I'm a Dave and Busters veteran.
