I haven't played a good rail shooter in a long time, and it seems like one of those genres that would be perfect for the Wii. Now, I love me some good zombie killin' as much as the next guy, but I wanna know which one is the best. Here are the ones I know of on the system...
-House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return.
-Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.
-House of the Dead: Overkill.
Any suggestions as to which one of these is the best and why? Also, if there are other rail shooters on the Wii that you'd suggest I try out even more than the aforementioned titles, please lemme know.

I'd suggest Overkill. The gameplay's solid from what I played, and when you beat it, you get an alternate route/director's cut. I read in a review that you can even unlock another mode that lets you use two remotes. Which is bitchin'.
Plus, Yahtzee's review wasn't all that bad. It convinced me to get it when I get my next check.

Overkill
1. It KNOWS it's campy and embraces it
2. Grindhouse-style storytelling
3. Shooting mutants in the leg over and over again=FUN!
4. The first boss is a mutant cripple
5. Mutant clowns
6. Mutant Doctors
7. Mutant Nurses
8. The final boss is a cross between Nightmare Fuel and What The Fuck?
9. ISSAC MOTHERFUCKIN WASHINGTON MOTHERFUCKER!
The only downside is that it's kinda easy, but what the hell, Resident Evil is getting a sequel, and Overkill needs a sequel more then anything
STOP READING THIS AND BUY HOUSE OF THE DEAD: OVERKILL!

Umbrella Chronicles gets god damn rediculous if you can't pull of headshots. I'm picking up house of the dead soon though...

Define 'funk'.
If it's afro zombies, you'd be stupid not to buy it.
