Maldron Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 After just spending a few hours with this game, I can say this game is fun. It's a simple idea that becomes hard when you try to execute it - you kill zombies for points, every zombie on fire is a multiplier. Normal zombies drop health and dynamite, which you use to blow up zombies en-masse. Burning zombies drop dynamite upgrades. It's a fun balancing act. Burning zombies move faster and chase you, regular zombies fear fire, and the best way to make them dead is to set them on fire and blow them up. It has three different modes for each level, and challenges that set up unique point systems. Each main level has free play, timed play ((burning zombies also drop time extensions)) and a protection play where you have to protect some dumb blonde girlfriend of yours who thinks the best way to deal with the zombie horde is to sit in the convertible with the top down chewing bubble gum ((burning zombies drop health for her.)) Each mode on each level, as well as the challenges, have four point-dependent medals, which allow you to unlock more stages and rewards like art and graphics filters. The game has a cartoony look, which works well for it. It doesn't try to take itself seriously, which is probably good considering the way the game plays. The weapons you pick up vary from pistols and shotguns to humongous gatling guns and lawnmowers. Anyway. I figured the fastest way to get me to stop playing the game was to type something up about it. I'd say the game's worth the ten bucks. EDIT: By popular demand, a mention that this game is a PSN exclusive. To further that story, this is a part of Sony's answer to XBLA's development easiness - a new program where studios produce games for release on the PSN, and they match the funds or... something... I should've researched this. PSN exclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Intriguing. I would prob'ly snag this if it was on XBLA just because it has the word "Zombie" in the title and I'm a consumer whore. Though I would have problems accepting that zombies fear fire, we aren't dealing with Phil Hartman's Frankenstein here. Zombies fear nothing. Nothing.

Lycaon Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Zombies fear nothing. Nothing. Indeed. Not even, as the Thriller video showed us years ago, dance routines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
