Ayumilove's Diary: What is typing of the dead all about? Type or Die Could you kill a Zombie with your bare hands? Type for your life through the house of the dead, with all the gore and horror of a petulant parade of putrid Zombies. But forget blowing them away with an FBI issue shooter, all you are armed with is a keyboard, so type the hell out of them! The faster and sharper you type the words, the quicker you'll kill the zombies and killing Zombies is not only fun but rewarding. A blistering fury of exploding Zombie flesh awaits your every key stroke. Can your keyboard handle the action? Game Features: - Based on the best-selling House of the Dead series. - 5 Game modes including Tutorial, Original, Boss, Arcade & Drill + 1 hidden! 12 putrid zombies including the chainsaw wielding Max and the perpetually rotting Ebitan. - Co-operative multi-play across LAN. - 6 chapters, 12 drills, and 5 difficulty settings. - Fully customisable options, including sound, screen & vocabulary. - Full touch-typing tutorial included --------------------------------------- The Typing of the Dead has been described variously as a remake or mod of the original House of the Dead 2. Like the original, Typing of the Dead is styled as a first-person rail shooter game, but substitutes shooting zombies and other enemies with typing out words or phrases to kill them. When enemies appear, they are accompanied by a box showing a word, sentence or phrase which must be typed to neutralize the enemy. The length, and complexity, of the phrases increase during the game's progression.[1][2] Other features retained include the challenges of saving survivors, which will alter the path the player character will take to his final destination, and the secrets/bonus items hidden throughout the game.[3] All levels contain specific challenge areas, where the player is required to kill a certain number of zombies in limited time, and are ended with a boss battle using some sort of alteration of usual gameplay (e.g. a long phrase, typing the correct answer to a question etc.)[2] The console ports have two modes, "Original" and "Arcade," for the main storyline, as well as "Tutorial," "Drill," and "Boss" modes for additional typing training.[4] Other changes are mostly superficial, including replacing the weapons wielded by zombies with harmless items and equipping the AMS agents with keyboards attached to backpack Dreamcasts with oversized batteries (less)
