According to the game's producer Neil McEwen, House Of The Dead: Overkill will be one of the goriest Wii games ever, but he isn't worried that it might face censorship.
"We're not brutalising any minorities. It's good fun, tongue in cheek - nothing you wouldn't see in a movie," he explained. "We've really not restrained ourselves in any way. We want to go all guns blazing and make it as extreme as possible almost."
"Sometimes we've gone 'ooh, we shouldn't really do that', but then we've gone 'no, hell yes we should'. There's no reason we shouldn't do this stuff, it's not exploiting anyone."
The House of the Dead: Overkill is a first-person rail shooter which is being developed by Headstrong Games and published by Sega for the Wii. The game is scheduled to be released in 2009.
