Pros: You don't die with 1 zombie bite. Slaughtering with chainsaws is REALLY cool!
Cons: Missions are almost impossible, no matter how hard you try.
The bottom line: It's an awesome zombie-killing game. For xtra points, put mascot heads on them and take their picture. Only the pros with days of time should attempt the missions.
I borrowed this game and system from a friend and it was the only game, since I was a kid, to make me want to play day and night. I am TERRIFIED of zombies, but I was still drawn to this game. The first time I was in a crowd full of zombies and started getting bitten, I threw the controller and covered my eyes. The zombie sounds are very unsettling, too. I had a VERY hard time understanding the missions because the radio always rings when you're surrounded by zombies, so you can't answer it. The save places are almost impossible to get to. I looked up the missions online and they seem impossible. There is a group of alive prisoners with machine guns that want to kill survivors and they killed me and the lady I tried to save about 6 times. I don't see any way to defeat them. It doesn't really tell you how to access the "scoop" info, either, that it keeps bugging you about. Finally, I gave up on the missions and went to the hardware store and slaughtered zombies with chainsaws, shears, 2x4s, iron pipes, and anything else I could find. That was fun, but I regret not being able to save the victims hidden throughout the mall. Why is Frank the only one trying to save people? He's just a photojournalist, for Pete's sake. Make someone else help. And what's with Carlito who tries (and succeeded) to kill Frank?? Can't the living all be on the same side??
