Since playing this game I new it inevitable that I review it.. And I've been dreading it. Why the mass of our dedicated readers will ask no doubt and my only reply is; I just do aright.
To begin this game is a must play, so if you contemplating renting it do so.. go ahead, I'll wait.
So lets get down to the grit & shit of it shall we. Its very fun for the first hour or so because you can just kill zombies in a mall with an assortment of items (anything you can pick up ((except for food))) but I've long learned that there's more to games than stabbing zombies in the head with a shower nozzle and watching blood poor out, no its gotta have more because (believe it or not) that does get boring after a few hundred goes.
So how does the game fair after you get bored of mindless killing while wearing the stupidest costume imaginable? It fairs only OK in my book.
Starting with what I liked.
I like the fact that you can start again with your level, something about that is comforting allowing you to really explore and get creative, if you screw up the worst is you start from day 1 in the game with your full level.
I liked how the game was indeed challenging (though annoying at first) when you finally beat those god damn bastards on the hummer or This motherfucker you'll feel like you really acheived something.
What I didn't like
The controls are literally retarded, they didn't think about it really and I found myself craving resident evil 4.
You can find yourself trapped in a cycle of doom when fighting pretty much most of the bosses so you just watch yourself get hit, fall down, begin getting up and before you get control back from the standing up animation you get hit back down again... very annoying.
Sometimes your destined to fail, You'll receive a mission with no timer so you take a few minutes to get food and weapons, maybe some Xbox achievements and complete said mission with ease,, only to discover the next mission will happen at say for example 11 am which you can easily have missed. Only thing to do now is start again or go through the shame of ending b!One small thing that got my goat was the fact that every second person in that mall was a psycopath, little unlikely but ill cope.
In a complete 180 what first appealed to you for that couple of hours at the start beings to bug you; the makers of the game in a bid to make sure you used a variety of weapons force you to change weapon every 5 minutes via the weapon breaking, this means you end up fighting zombies with weapons than only frustrate you to no end. Like empty cardboard boxes... unless you triple stack the mini chainsaw (which you get from that motherfucker) which is good for a kill mileage of 1000
To close things up I definitely recommend playing this game. It has at least 3 days of pure entertainment before you've decided you've done all its offering. Its strong point is definitely the variety of weapons and sand box like freedom (plus gore.. sooo much ), the story however isn't so fun especially when you have to replay it over and over. I wouldn't suggest buying it unless its the only way your gna get to play it, rent it or borrow or steal, make buying your last resort, But in ANY CASE make sure you play it.
