Overkill is a little more conservative than Resident Evil and Dead Space: Extraction, playing it straight with the familiar rail shooter experience as found in previous entries in the series, focusing on an uncomplicated combo system, a grindhouse aesthetic and humorous dialogue. Sega have contributed greatly to this list with an upgraded port, compilation and House of the Dead: Overkill, a new, console-exclusive installment in the popular series. So, to celebrate the reemergence of classic genre, let us review the current state of the rail shooter on the Wii. It also helps that there are multiple solutions for replicating the feel of a real light gun that work quite well (my personal go-to was the Nyko Perfect Shot)Д«lessed with a combination of arcade ports and new, forward-thinking titles, the Wii become a haven for traditionally-minded shooting and old school gameplay sensibilities. Fortunately, the Nintendo Wii, with its pointer functionality that worked with modern TVs, breathed a bit of new life into a genre on the verge of becoming irrelevant. Sadly, by the time the rail shooter started to establish itself arcades were slowly dropping off the map, leaving the genre stagnant and on all but on life support.

The rail shooter is a genre synonymous with the arcades, synonymous because itвЂ™s where the on-rails format began with force-feedback guns, and large displays. Presented by Racketboy and Daniel Primed of The Wii Light Gun Games/On-Rail Shooters Library
