Really needs endless continues:
This game is ok, but what dissapoints is the same as what other reviewers have said. It needs to have unlimited continues, since they left in all the cheap shots from the Arcade version.

This package includes HOD2 & 3 on one disc for the Wii. If you are unfamilair with the series, HOD is an arcade series which means that it will be short when compared to some other titles. However, the gameplay is quick and fun enough to warrant numerous replays on both titles. There are also many unlockables that can help keep interest going on this one.
