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...

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!!!

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.

A thrill ride through the Romero universe

Although this is a budget game, it was a tremendous amount of fun to play, especially if you are a Romero/zombie fan. Play it with the lights out and the sound turned up and try not to jump. I had absolutely no problems loading or playing the game on my Dell 4550, Pentium 4 2.5, 512 RAM, Nvidia MX440. My only complaint is that you have to be very precise with the weapons and frequently it takes 3-4 shots to take down a zombie. I'll admit to using the cheat codes to get all the weapons and ammo a couple of times. Again, if you are a fan of the zombie movie genre, give this game a try.

Really fun, but a bit too easy!

This game is really a lot of fun. If you are into the horror game scene, this is for you. But don't think this is going to be a hard ride. As a matter of fact, this is one of the easiest games I believe I've ever played. I recommend this title if you like to have fun shooting it up!

Lots of zombie slaying goodness...

I FINALLY found a copy of this game and had to look in another state to get it. This game is great and for the word, most of the bad reviews are for the xbox version. I am an admin for a site that supports this game. www.undeadgames.com We have tons of maps and mods for this game with more coming in everyday. If you get bored of the single player then jump on the multiplayer. The PC version offers alot more bang for you buck as we have the Unreal Editor and have made maps of all George A Romero movies. I recommend that if you managed to run across this game and you're a zombie fan then most certainly pick this up. It makes me sad that the sellers on here are taking advantage of this being a rare game and are jacking the prices up. But needless to say this is a great budget title and zombie fans will adore it.

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.

Read the other reviews. The game is Worth it!

There is an immediate assumption that if a game doesn't cost over 30 bucks it will suck. WRONG! And this is the type of game to prove this point.
Land Of The Dead is a GREAT game. The graphics are VERY good, the controls are just what you'd expect from a top FPS, and the gameplay is fun and entertaining and will make you jumpy a few times. It doesn't have such a high number of levels but will keep you shooting away for a decent period of time. I will include a few gameplay screenshots.
Bottom line, get it and enjoy. The game's story precedes the movie, so when you're done with the game, you may go ahead and watch the movie.
