Developer: Sega WOW Overworks
Platforms: Arcade
Release: 2009 (Arcade)

Loving Deads: The House of the Dead EX is a unique spinoff entry to the series with full of zombie love and humour. The game runs on Sega’s Lindbergh arcade hardware with two light guns and pedals similar to the Time Crisis series. EX is a game that features tons of minigames made for lovely couples to test their compatiblity with each other as they play as two zombie escapees as they escape from the evil clutches of Dr. Curien and his evil experiements. During the game, you and your partner must go through of series of minigames such as gathering apples, brushing Justice’s bad teeth, matching zombies, and even parodying the Matrix by dodging cakes! This game is one of the most unique spinoff of the series and I definitely recommend this game for couples. In the words of Zobio, “LET’S PLAY TOGETHER!”

The vehicle they both ride on is the Hotrod of Horror, an old-fashioned black Cadillac with chainsaws on the sides and has a all star move called “Run-a-Way Love” in which Zobio drinks a radioactive potion, grows big, and runs around with Zobiko riding his back as Zobio smashes anybody in his path. This is the only game that they have appeared in outside of Japan.
