Taught Me To Type- ETERNALLY GRATEFUL!

I had tried other typing instructors to no avail. They were too frickin boring. Here was a typing instructor mixed in with a cool arcade shooter. The phrases the game makes the user type are often hilarious. To boot, the original game boasts some of the funniest (read: horrible) voice acting in the history of gaming. One thing is certain- this is a FUN instructor. The game has so many useful modes- including what I found to be very effective tutorial and drill modes. Now that I've become somewhat proficient, I return to the game every now and then to hone my skills and...have fun. And to think that i found this in the bargain bin for 2.99- probably the best 2.99 I will ever spend in my life! highly recommended.

Excellent.

Something not mentioned, and perhaps not noticed, by the 'hardcore' typists who reviewed the game here, is that the difficulty level adjusts to your typing speed. If you become overwhelmed, the game will throw smaller words at you so you can keep up. Grade performances are made based on accuracy, and a 'perfect score' is just about as impossible as it is in the lightgun games. The ultimate Mavis Beacon killer.

Mindless game turned educational?

I was never a huge fan of the original HOTD. Lightgun games were never my thing, but typing...now typing I can do. This has to be the most amusing and creative game I have seen in ages. I easily type 80+wpm, and have found countless challenges within this game. I agree with the other reviewers though, it may be frustrating for beginners...but if you learn best by being thrown in the middle of things, this game is perfect.

I am easily amused by games that the general public would normally find either corny, childish, or just plain stupid. At first glance, this game would fall under the last catagory...but don't let it fool you. Hidden within this is a gem of a typing tutor.

Typing of the Dead, Undying replay value.

Typing of the Dead, doesn't have the greatest graphics or acting, but neither does alot of horror movies. The game's look simply fits the horror genre. The best part about the Typing of the Dead is that it has great replay value. Even though I must have played level one a thousand times, it never seemes to get old. I guess it has something to do with trying to perfect my typing skills while killing zombies at a frantic pace, which can get addicting. The game's play is smooth and the flow is rapid. Typing of the Dead, quickly guides you through one test of skill after another. The quick pace ends with the battle with the level boss. The game is fun, entertaining and addicting. If nothing else appeals to you, this game will find something you like. One of the best typing games around. No questions about it.

Interesting way to type

I think the fact that it is a typing game is cool, but I wouldn't use it to learn to type. Ther are easier ways to learn to type from other software companies. Other than that it is excellent.
