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.

hello my freinds
great game and really amazing that you play at night ang it geves you scary energy
to open iso install winemulater setup it then click hothd2.iso r click select "select drive letter and mount" click on it then do the setup and play!
If getting the "can't find hod.exe" when trying the nocd patch, try right clicking on the "hotd2crack" file and running as an administrator. After trying that it applied the patch and I was good to go

Quiero descargar el juego
I don't know how to download it
How to download this?
does anyone know how to change the game resolution? at least 1024x768 but 1920x1080 would be ideal. but not using dgVoodoo
The arcade version is way easier to run.
1. install flycast
2. download naomi.zip and hod2bios.zip and put them in the data folder in flycast.
3. get house of the dead 2 rom. unzip it into the rom folder in flycast.
4. in flycast go to controller settings. under dreamcast put light gun for port A
5. run game. "A" adds coins "ENTER" is start button. Mouse is in control of lightgun unless you own an lightgun. left click shoots. right click reloads.
todo positivo
This iso is not corrupted...
Everytime I click HOD application it says insert CD

How do i fix the CD Problem? I've downloaded the file contain the CD patch i tried to see info but windows said the file cant be open the .nfo file.
I attempted to use the CD Patch program but it keep saying "cant open hotd2 file. Make sure you have both files in the SAME DIRECTORTY." What am i supposed to do now?
Works awesome. I just download the ISO and mount it.
I Love this game very much. i want to download this game.
"THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2"
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GAME.
But unfortunately, no matter which version I download, it lags on my Laptop. Which makes absolutely no sense to me and I don't know what to do. Please help.

The gane is fine. Becuse game's have a zombies. Hmmmmmmmmmm... I like see zombies on the game!
It says: Please insert "The House of the Dead 2" CD. What to do in this scenario to run it?
Found a fix in regards to my previous comment:
-Install dxwnd (https://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/)
-Drag and drop Hod2.exe into dxwnd once it's installed and launched. This should automatically map the address in the "Path" section. If by some chance it doesn't work, just right click in the blank window and click add. Also make sure the correct address is in. (Click the 3 dots to map it yourself)
-Right click Hod2, modify, and under the main window, click "desktop" on the bottom right under the "position" settings. You should have it on your main monitor and a full-screen window. If not just try configuring with the positioning to your satisfaction.
This refuses to work with 2 monitors connected for some reason. Can only get it working while on PC screen only in WIN+P
is this still available to download?
If you want to play multiplayer , P1 use mouse cursor, while P2 use keyboard with Tab as start game, left Shift as shoot and Left Ctrl as reload.
Can someone tell me how to delete this crap?! I downloaded it a year ago and I decided to delete it because I completed the game completely but I can’t because this thing isn’t giving me access to do it! What the hell am I supposed to do?
16 BIT COLOR MODE.
sorry
anyone who is having trouble with the game starting up on WINDOWS 11 check your task manager to see if the game went to the background and if it is running tick the reduce color option in the compatability menu and change it to 32 BIT COLOR MODE.
hope this helps someone
i enjoy your game and iam satisfied
I have really nice memories with this game
GOAT rail shooter, along with the original game.

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!!!
regarding thecrnmage's comment, after doing step8 I cant seem to find the game or icon on the drive I created :(
IS there any version that can shoot with mouse?
Instructions were unclear may day may day the game is not opening I repeat the game is not opening
I played this game when I was 6 years old, I never got to the end of the game, but I couldn't download it from here, I just finished the game now and I don't have any memories of leaving it unfinished.
the game can run on higher resolutions with dgVoodoo2
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?
how to activate 2 player for this?
THERE IS VERY SCARY GAME
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?
Im having the same problem as solidg did where i just cant play it even though i got it all installed from autorun with wincdemu how do i fix this? i also just plopped nocd in the Program files x86 sega and it says it cant find hotd2 exe just llike solidg
Super game, love it. I have been playing for a very long time.
Отличная игра. Прошел с кайфом. Ностальгия, помню как играл в нее на аркадных автоматах. (У кого проблемы с запуском советую испоьзовать "UltraISO" для монтирования образа)
日本語にするパッチや方法はありますか？

Hello, when I try to mount the ISO image, Windows 11 says that the image is corrupted.
How to install guys, i dont the understand the instruction well
its very amazing game and nice game
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.
U GOT 2 HAVE SOME FUN
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.
i love this game but it wont let me play
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!!
