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.

Poor game, nothing as expected.

The game is nothing as you expect it to be. I expected to be able to go up to a zombie and blow his head off, but in this game it takes like three shots aimed at the head just to make a zombie fall down. The music in the game makes a bit scary at first, but then just gets annoying. When the zombies attack they freakin punch or slap you! What the hell! If you were looking for Resident Evil action in 1st person, sorry no good here. If you were looking for mass zombie killin, sorry no good here either. This game was a dissapointment by far, i wish i could my money back. The graphics of the game are alright though, you can see the blood and gore, but it just still doesn't cut it. Overall, the game is just not worth it.

This game is just so-so

I'm a big, big fan of George A. Romero's movies and the zombie genre, so I was happy to find a game with a true zombie plot line. But, I was disappointed. I guess it was my fault for expecting much from a video game from a movie. I should have known to expect very little, and that's what I got. The graphics are mediocre, the sound is O.K., the action is simple, the AI is almost non-existent, the gameplay is basically walking through a giant maze and shooting stuff. I can compliment the "feel" of the game, as it was creepy and there were a couple of times when I actually jumped. But it took me less than 5 hours to finish the game on High difficulty. Not quite worth the $20 I spent.

fundamentally flawed

i want to be nice to this game, because there are soooo many terrible PC games out there, however i just can't. i enjoyed the demo at first, i was digging killing the zombies with the guns.. but then i ran out of ammo. at first i thought "that's good," because FPS games tend to have too much available ammo where you can always use your best weapon, but some good games will force you to use your other weapons which leads to gameplay variety. so i pick up my lead pipe to wail on these zombies melee-style, and what happens? THE PIPE IS TERRIBLE. it takes foooorrreeeevvveeeerrrr for your character to swing the thing! now that's boring, and consider i was playing "john deere: american farmer" before that, literally watching corn grow and was more entertained than this pipe swing. you could go make a pot of coffee, drink 2 cups and then by the time you got back, your guy would still be swinging. :D bottom line is, any game that screws up on such a fundamental level of melee weapons isn't worth playing any longer. if you want a game like this, play painkiller or condemned. the chronicles of riddick has much more interesting melee/fist fighting action too.

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.

I was so excited UNTIL I tried to play it

Being a long time fan of Romero's DEAD series and a player of games like RE 1-3, HOTD 1-2, Doom 1-3, Quake, FEAR, etc...
I was looking forward to this game and had it reserved for release day.

Ugghhh what a dissapointment.

The problem was not graphics, gameplay or anything else.
The problem was PLAYABILITY.

The game was so glitched it was unplayable.

I downloaded the patch 1.1 from Groove, but still the game was unplayable.

Problems like ...

ACTION/FIRE button randomly becoming inoperative and doing nothing unless you rebooted game.
(ie... fists or weapons would not work even when health was high and ammo was full).

In fact, all mouse functions other than movement would stop working, the game would stop reading mouse clicks -or- even the "E" key for action.
No option but to exit game and start over.

Stiff (very stiff) character movement that made navigating very unpleasant.

In summary, it was simply too glitchy and aggravating to enjoy.

I uninstalled and tossed it in the trash.

I wish the game had WORKED properly and smoothly.... if so, the look and feel was right on key....... it was simply the execution that made it too annoying to try and play.

Since I have a P4-2.1GZ system with 512mb RAM, Nvidia 256 graphics card, etc..etc..etc.. and handle MUCH MORE COMPLEX games and software, my PC hardware is not the problem here.

I should have suspected problems when I learned the game was not ACT Light Gun compatible........... lets face it.... ALL FIRST PERSON SHOOTER games should be light gun compatible !

good practice shooter game

when i get tired of being killed in doom3 or quake or half life2 or painkiller or 10 other games, i can relax and frag some (...).

Nice Graphics but overall disappointing

Zombie AI was just bad. Scripted events if you ducked back fast enough would cause the Zombie to stand still while you shot at them. Also it was so short a game I am glad that I got it for cheap. It took me alittle over 2 hrs to beat the game. I'd say wait till this puppy hits the $10 rack or becomes abandonware.

Way to easy and short

I didn't buy this game with very high expectations. The game only lasts a tad over 3 hours. Yes, you read right...3 hours! That's like paying 6 dollars an hour to play. The graphics are extremely old school (check out the specs on the box and decide for yourself); I felt I was playing The Thing, or an old and very slow version of Serious Sam. Otis, the AI character you run into during the game is extremely stupid...there are times when a zombie is standing nose to nose with him and instead of raising his gun and firing, he waits for you to take it out with your sniper rifle. I figured the game couldn't possibly be worse than the movie (and I LOVE Romero's work), but I was wrong. The music is monotonous, killing the zombies is like shooting fish in a barrel (not much challenge to it), and there are too many glitches to list here. I gave it 2 stars because it was not the worst game I've ever played, but definitely not on my top 10 list either. Wait for it to go to the jewel case bargain bin, folks. Don't say I didn't warn ya.

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.
