First of all, I gave this game 5 stars across the board. Evidently Amazon didn't believe me when I clicked on 5 stars. Anyway, I think it was $20 well spent. If you like the "Dead" movies and are into zombies, your gonna love this game. If your planning on spending the $20 and expecting to get into the "high rent" district, ain't gonna happen. But, the graphics are cool, the music draws you in and the overall ambiance of the game is all there. Yeah, you have to shoot a few of them several times in the head but remember, you have to shoot them in the brain, not just in the head. So, I have no complaints. It's fun and it's a great game, not a $500 watch. So get the game and turn out the lights, draw down the shades and pull up your favorite chair in front of the screen 'cause your in for a treat.

A fun, gory shooter!

This is a "budget" title with a lot of entertainment value (if you are into zombies or horror games) for your money. If you like PC shooters in general, then you will enjoy "Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddler's Green" -- and it does not require the latest and greatest computer/video card to run well either. Certainly this game is much (much!) better than the horribly feeble movie "George A. Romero's Land of the Dead" this game was spawned from...

well this is just a review based upon what i have seen through the demo.
for a 20 dollar game its impressive and looking at the screen shots as well as watching people play the demo it looks and sounds great.
i mean if you look at the product specs and the money you are shelling out for it its way worth it.
i am a hard core gamer and since i am on va disability i have more time on my hands so i play alot of games.
there is like 20 levels to the game and i think if i remember right that there is like 4 different multiplayer modes to play as well.
i am a big fan of the night of the living dead series and i am a big time player of resident evil games so this one is right up my alley.
waiting on the game patiently for it to arrive then t will be zombie mayhem.
i have to say one more thing the zombies in this game look alot better than whats in resident evil games.
also think this game will be a sleeper then gem once more people find the game and play it but what i seen no complaints on my end just waiting to hunt those zombies.

Why is this game only 20 bucks?!!!

I played the demo and immediately bought the game. The ambience created by the music, sounds, and graphics make you want to keep the lights on while playing! Contrary to what the other reviews say the zombies can be killed with a "well aimed" head shot but it's kind of hard to aim when them bastards are swarming you! Body damage on the zombies is realistic. Don't turn your back on a zombie just because you blew off it's leg, it can and does crawl after you! Subtle touches of humor and irony add to the game. The controls are Unreal Tournament smooth. The levels are painstakingly designed and don't feel redundant. As you progress through the game you go from panicky newbie to stone cold zombie slayer, but you'll still keep the lights on!!! This is the game to get for the true zombie enthusiast. I can't believe this game is only 20 bucks!!!

Shoot em in the Head! Final Review!!

Well I have finished the game and was pleasently suprised. Overall should be 4 stars but I can't seem to edit this part.
Gameplay:
a) No technical issues (I played it on a top of the line laptop)
b) The zombies will try to either bite or punch you (knocking you down) but I wish they would try to grab you and slow you down.
c) Good assortment of weapons, but ammo is hard to get initially but easy at the end of the game (should be the other way around).
d) My big complaint is the variety of things to fight. Of course you have walking, crawling and spitting zombies but thats about it. I would love to have run into a biker gang or evil paramilitary group. Something to add some flavor.
e) More powerful guns will put zombies (most) down w/ one headshot. {Although the screamers require enough rounds to supply a platoon.}
f) Some very stressful/scary moments (the cornfield had a great atmosphere) just as it should be.

Graphics: Not bad for a $20 game.

Sound: Actually very good

Difficulty: Well the zombies do seem to try and hunt you down.
If you are an experienced gamer (especially if you play 3d shooters) start w/ the game on Hard for challenge, regular mode is simply too easy.

CREEEPY!!!!!

If you like zombie movies or zombie games, you'll like this game. It's obvious it doesn't match the stellar graphics of most current fps's now, it matches them in gameplay. And the gameplay fits the atmosphere perfectly. The environments are believable with mundane objects of everyday life. That's important because the mood is set with the tense music and frightening creatures. The developers did a great job of creeping the crap of me by the zombies' sounds and attacks. They're unpredictable. At one moment, they're standing or walking slowly then they come at you at lightning speed. I've never played a game in which the monsters have scared me so much. People talk about being scared by the monsters and zombies in Doom 3. I always knew Doom 3 was just a game when I played it. In this game, the tension is real and I was always on edge to keep the zombies away from me. A shame the developers couldn't have spend a little more time cleaning up the graphics and eliminating some of the few bugs in the game. But the game is definately worth the money. Try it.

Delivers Zombie Fun At Bargain Price

I really enjoyed the game. It had a retro old-school budget gaming feel. Very strong in the basics of shooting zombies, blowing `em up, chopping them down, and being always close to the edge of getting overwhelmed.

Your character is a ordinary farmer who finds himself faced with zombies and at first very little in the way of weapons to deal with them. He does acquire more powerful weapons but he's never going to be a supersoldier; you become aware that he can sprint only in short bursts and his weapon skills never guarantee that even his carefully aimed shots will always bring the enemy down.

I'd recommend Land of the Dead for someone looking for solid, no frills fun. It doesn't have the detailed gameplay of far more expensive games but it delivers the videogame equivalent of those low-budget zombie movies: shuffling zombies, a variety of weapons, desperate situations, and a very slender "plot." I particularly liked the level where you need to protect your partner as he sprints through a zombie-filled street and parking lot in order to commandeer a truck: you provide covering fire from a nearby rooftop using a sniper rifle. You've got to do some good shooting or...

Is it perfect? No. It's no RE4 or Half Life 2. However comparing Land of the Dead to those games would be like comparing a very low-budget (but still entertaining) movie to a major Hollywood production costing thirty times more to make. If you don't mind some rough edges, you could find this game right up your alley.

Was fun and fits perfectly with George A. Romero's view of zombie hordes.

Frustrating crap

Looking for some zombie action I download this one.

I find myself with a shotgun in front of a crowd of zombies.

Knowing how slow they are, I run up to the nearest one, almost putting my shotgun in his mouth.

I fire. Surprised, I see how the bullets hit everything BEHIND the zombie's head.

I try again. Same result.

I try again. Same result.

I try again. Same result.

By now my shotgun shells reach 0.

I unistall the game and I wonder what could I have done with the 20 bucks.

good practice shooter game
