From a GamePro article

Released and split into 3 parts (or acts) last month, HOTD2: A New Nightmare is an Anime OVA adaptation based on the second (and for the time rescent) release in the franchise--following the footsteps of the first OVA series HOTD: Horror Invoked which adapts the first game in an animated format--. What might be a straight foward shot-for-shot take, soon turns into a greatly expanded and even "grounded" (as grounded the HOTD can be sometimes) take on the "Venice Outbreak" (the same applies with the first OVA series) with more stakes and detail that wasn't seen in the games themselves--Mr. Imagawa and Oda's joint effort to take the characters and setting outside of the arcade has proven thus far to be a success among the fans, and speculation is as ever more buzzling with rumors of a third OVA series...some say that it could come after perhaps a hypothetical third game gets announced or it could dive into an original storyline exclusive to Animation for the first time ever..Stranger things have happened before, like Castlevania starting as a console game and then getting adapted into arcades, unlike Contra or Gradius which went the other way but we digress. Until then--we applaud the HOTD OVA series, easily one of the few and better game adaptations we have on the market.
