All Items (Original Mode):
For all items in Original Mode, successfully complete training mode on
all difficulty settings.


Bonus Room:
To access the Bonus Room you'll have to beat the game without killing
any of the hostages or allowing any hostages to be killed.


Death Bullets:
You can get the death bullets in level three. All you need is 2.0 bullets.
Wait until you get to the hostage in the boat, and don't save him
(if you save him the 2.0 bullets, grenade launcher or shotgun appears on
the back of the boat. After goin through, having not saved him, you'll
come to a section where pirhana are leaping out of the water, shoot the
door behind them with the 2.0 bullets, and the death bullets should be
there.


Display Score:
To display your score, push the d-pad LEFT [twice], RIGHT [three times],
LEFT, RIGHT then press Start. If the code has been entered correctly, a
"0" will appear in the upper-left corner of the screen.


Extra Items and Other Tips:
I've beaten the game several times. You get very funny extras in original
mode. All HotD2 professional players read the points at the end of this
long text.

1. playing as a grandma (you can also play as Goldman, Amy, Harry + others)
2. getting a ufo-icon. An ufo appears in the sky and you can try to shoot it
3. Shooting green fishing lures instead of bullets (get bass? Total strange)
4. You get new guns like Machine Gun, a Shotgun and a Paintball gun.

Note that these items are deleted when you use them. However, you can
keep them forever by removing your VMS card before you use the item you
wish to keep.

The special items don't appear always on the same spots. There are just
some spots that give you very special items every time you shoot them.
First of all, use a 1.5 or 2.0 ammo in original mode (these are not too
hard to find in normal boxes), only with these bullets you get all those
extras. Only the 1.5 and 2.0 ammo is able to open secret doors. Here are
4 Spots where you get extras:

1 - In Level 2 a car drives to you with a zombie on it. shoot the zombie
    down. The camera turns arround, on the right side is a parking, blue
    car. Shoot the back door of the car and it opens, after the guy says
    thank you, the camera moves to the right and shows into the blue car
    where a extra is waiting for you to be shot.
2 - After that you go up stair and shoot a group of zombies, then you turn
    to the left and a knife throwing zombie jumps from the rooftops. Kill
    him. After that you move some steps forward. Now hurry and shoot the
    door at the end of the hallway. It will open if you have 1.5 or 2.0
    Ammo. Kill the 2 jumping zombies that now will block your way and a
    man will come out of the open door and give you something special
    (very often he gave me 2.0 ammo).
3 - In Level 3 is a scene where a green zombie attacks a man on a
    motorboat. Kill the zombie without killing the man, in the background
    on the right you see a box, shoot it to open it, it contains a 1-life
    extra. In the second you shot the 1-life extra a special extra appears
    on the boat. Shot it, camera will move away quickly!
4 - In Level 5, after you killed this waterboss with the open heart your
    car will continue driving over the bridge toward 2 cars and a group of
    zombies. You can shoot the backdoor of the left car and open it that
    way. Now kill the zombies between the cars and the 2 zombies with
    critters in their chest that come out of the right car. After that
    the camera turns toward the left open car and you can shoot a special
    extra.

There are more spots like that, but that should help you to get the point
how to get those extras. Oh, all those extras are then only available
in the NEXT game you start in Original mode. Some extras can only used
a single time, others seem to be saved and useable forever. I have not
found anything that tells you what differs the one from the others.


Faster Shooting with the DreamCast Joystick:
If you play the game with the DreamCast joystick, then just put one finger
on the A button and another finger on the B butte and press them together
(instead of pressing A several times and then B to reload). You'll fire
much quicker, it's like having a minigun.


Free Play:
To Accesse the free play in the opions menu beat the Boss mode with all
stars. Free play will be avalible in the continue settings. Note: this
is for the U.S. version of The House of the Dead 2


Getting the Goldman Costume:
To get the Goldman costume in Original mode, simply beat Original mode
the whole way through. When you start a new Original mode game, the
Goldman costume should appear in your trunk.


Getting the Rogan costume:
In original mode, take 2.0 Bullets and the double score items with you
to play the game. Rescue all the hostages except for the second one in
level 4, and play through the game. If you make it all the way up to the
end, You should come across a secret room kinda like the one you find if
you beat the game while rescuing all hostages. Inside, you'll find the
Rogan costume and an infinite credits token. PLUS, if you're good enough
to beat the game, you get a special ending where Rogan comes out just
before you exit the building.


Infinite Death Bullets:
In Boss Mode, beat all the options (including the Emporer and Fight All)
five times so that the stars turn red. You will now be able to select
Death Bullets every time you start Original Mode.


Napalm Gun:
To get the napalm gun, get a perfect head shot on the first three zombies
in Stage One. If you're successfull their heads will fly off and a new
gun will appear on the ground. Shoot it and the napalm is yours.


One Shot Kills and Unlimited Ammo:
Finish the training mode with 5 red star difficulty on each training
stage for a nice reward.


Play as Gary in 1-player mode:
To play as Gary in the 1 player mode instead of putting the controller

and you can play as Gary instead of James!


Red Blood option:
To get the red blood option in House of the Dead 2 you need to beat the
game in the original mode. Then after you beat it go back to the options
menu. Now there should be the option for blood color.
