House of the Dead 4 elevates the House of the Dead legacy. Players can now navigate through six stages with player-selected routes, shoot a newly modified version of a sub-machine gun with a reload technique, throw a hand grenade by pressing a button on the gun, or fight with hand-to-hand combat and wiggle yourself free by shaking your weapon.

- TIPS AND TRICKS -
* Show Score : This code can be entered before or after inserting credits, at the title screen. Input this sequence on either gun (Let 1 be the trigger, and 2 be the greanade button) : 1, 1, 2, 2, 1, 2, 1. You should hear a sound if the code was entered correctly. Your score will then be displayed on the upper corners of the screen during gameplay.
* Struggle Faster : In the 'Shake it loose!' screen, instead of shaking the gun vertically, shake it horizontally. Be careful not to hit the viewer(s) beside you.
* Reload Faster : Instead of shaking the gun or aiming it outside the screen, just cover the muzzle with your hand.
