Damn, this game is so fun and addictive! It's totally twitch action and is really intense. You're blowing up hordes of zombies in a mass carnage the PSP has never seen before. You can even blow the zombies into the air and then splat them above your head. When this happens it says "Raining Guts" and the red rain falls on your head lol! In fact this game is hilarious through and through.
And then they have this really cool concept in multiplayer. You can spread your own virus to losers' PSPs. Then they spread your virus to other PSPs as you sit back and watch! You can then track how far your virus has spread online. I beat a couple of people and next thing you know I saw that they had spread my virus to cities across the country. Such power! Definitely get this game. It's a totally new experience in online gaming, while holding true to the fast-paced arcady gameplay we all know and love.

Cranage Like You've never seen

Infected is beautiful in the graphics department, absolutely disgusting in the morals department. THis game is about slaughtering millions and millions of zombie looking guys, and splatterering them all over your PSP. You do this again and again and again. This is fun, but eventually you will realize it is repetitive. You can string some combos and such but it really comes down to lots of shooting and killing the dead freaky zombie guys. Death Metal Soundtrack for people who would like to kill thier soul early. Online play is decent, but could have been as good as the ad hoc.

Bottom Line: Is it fun? Yes, but probably psychologicaly damaging. Will I keep it? For just a bit. Is it for kids? NO NO NO.

super awesome blood and gore!

Planet Moon Studios, the Scottish development squad credible for Citizen Kabuto and Armed & Dangerous, has another quirky title ready for gamers looking for something different in their action games. Infected, one of the most recent PSP releases, is a solid action title that is fast-paced and serves as a quick fix and a solid foundation for the PSP action/shooter genre.
In Infected, you play the role as an anti-viral officer named Stevens who must attempt to stop the contamination of New York City. A strange virus has infected the citizens of the city, including Stevens. Oddly, the virus doesn't affect Stevens the same as everyone else, and his blood is discovered to be the only way to kill the virus and those citizens who turned into flesh-eating zombies. So a viral gun is created, and it's your job to run around New York City turning all of the zombies into clouds and piles of blood and gore. The story doesn't really appear throughout the game but the few events you will see are funny enough that you'll want to listen to and watch what is happening on the screen.
The action hits you from the first mission and doesn't stop until you're tired of killing zombies. The game takes place in five different real-life NYC locations, including Central Park and Greenwich Village. In almost every level, you'll fight off hordes of the zombies while rescuing uninfected civilians, defending locations, and clearing places for evacuation helicopters to land. The way to kill the zombies is to weaken them until they change in color, which is your indication to use the viral gun that kills them off. Though this might sound like it takes more time than it should, the pace never slows from an all-out rush. Whether you're beating missions and earning medals on the single player or you're "infecting" the world with your in-game avatar in the Ad Hoc/Infrastructure wireless modes, there is surprisingly a lot to do in Infected. On top of that, there is an incentive to earn gold medals on each level, because these medals unlock things like new costumes, character faces, weapon upgrades, and more. These upgrades, especially the weapon ones, make the game even faster and more frantic than before, and they make your in-game avatar even more unique.
Even with such a fast pace, Infected looks good and plays smoothly. There isn't much variation between enemy models, though there are a few different types. That said, the models are pretty generic but look good all the same. The environments are detailed with different buildings, trees, and other environment pieces while a constant snow lays down on New York City. Of course, all that snow is broken up by firey explosions and red, bloody clouds when multiple viral gun kills are linked together. The explosions, gunshots, and blood splatter noises are fantastic alongside music from metal bands like Slipknot, Fear Factory, Chimera, and one of my personal favorite bands, Trivium. All of this graphical and audio presentation never stutters the frame rate, which runs very smoothly throughout the game. The controls don't hold things up, either. Except for movement, they're simple and rely on two or three main buttons to get the job done.
Infected's head-banger soundtrack and fast paced, no-brains-necessary action is very similar to a third-person, handheld version of Serious Sam. Whether that's your cup of tea or not is a different story, but I enjoyed Infected quite a lot. It's not the best PSP game, and you won't be playing it until next Christmas, but it's got the virus-infected charm and bloody, gory fun to keep action fans playing for quite some time. Check it out, it's one of the better shooters on the PSP.(NOTE: This review is also posted on a website for which I write video game reviews on a regular basis.)

This game isn't going to redefine Video Games...

And if you are looking for something that will, you should look elsewere.

There have already been several reviews that explain the plot, so I'll skip that and just review the game.

Gameplay: Yes, this game is short (Only 36 or so levels, not counting online play). Yes, there are not a lot of levels (5 "areas" of New York that expand to larger sectors as the game progresses). But is it still fun to shoot, blast, and splat Zombies? Definitely. Playing through each mission trying to get the Gold metal in Hard is a challange, and that's great.

Controls: At first, the controls seem a bit awkward. But soon, I was circle-strafing a group of Ten Zombies with my machine gun and splating them with my viral gun at the same time. Good times. (Oh, and how can I forget mowing down waves of infected with my viral chainsaw)

Sounds: If you like Slipknot and the various metal bands that play constantly, then crank it up my friend. If you're like me, turn off the music and create your own soundtrack. Since the game is relatively short, the gunshots, zombie noises, etc. do not get that repetative.

Other: The customize-ability of your "Officer" is pretty extensive. Want a Drow in a Business Suit? How about a guy in doctor's scrubbs w/ bloody hands? Would you like to kill as Santa? Of course, there are hidden skins such as the members of Slipknot and Blood Rayne (no, her sword-claws are not usable) as well.

The between mission voiceovers, and the too few cut scenes had me laughing outloud. The sick humor of the creators is obvious even from the opening scene: when a boy in a wheelchair lights the tree in Rockifeller Plaza, only to see the light reveals a group of zombies. Frightened, he turns the light out and back on, but they are still there.

Online Play: If you take this game seriously and become good, you can see your avater or "virus" infect players all around the world. What happens is when you win their system is infected, and your avatar becomes the enemies in the highest three levels they can play. Also, when THEY play online, they have to look like you. If they win 3 times, your virus is gone, on to the players they beat. And so on and so on... The online modes are pretty intuitive, including a Mad Cow mode... you figure it out.

Overall: A decent game for the average joe. A awesome game for Zombie freaks like me. An even better game for metal heads and carnage happy individuals.

Should YOU buy this game? I don't know, I can't answer that. If I could, I'd be running Amazon instead of shopping here.

Good ol zombie killing fun!

This game is truly one of the best games out there for PSP. The graphics are pretty good. And the soundtrack is great. The fun level of this game is actually about a 10. The missions are easy to begin with but once you reach level 6 or 7 it starts to get real challenging which is awesome. There are awesome weapons to. And the costumes of Slipknot are awesome too! You could spend hours just blowing up zombies and you never get bored. It's so damn addictive! Definitely get this game (or Grand Theft Auto LCS) you will not regret it!

If you're a fan of Death Metal, extreme gore, or zombies, this is a must-own game. The plot is simple, almost deceptively so. You play the role of a cop who has to save civilians while hacking and shooting his way through hordes of the undead. I enjoyed the character custimization, and playing the game as the members of the band Slipknot was fun. The action is fast-paced, fun, and perfect in short bursts. Any problems? Well, after the first few levels, the action gets repetitive. You shoot zombies. Rescue civilians. Shoot zombies. Rescue civilians...you get the idea. Thankfully, there's a wide selection of weapons to keep the action going (chainsaws, missle launchers, machine guns, shotguns, ect.). I find it especially satisfying to hack through dozens of zombies with the chainsaw and see blood spatter in every possible direction. The soundtrack includes a huge array of brutal death metal, and it really gets you in the mood for some zombie slaughter.

zombies, carnage, and fun with strangers

also a soundtrack made up of real death metal by real artists. lots of blood and gore. zombies galore. character customization with a bunch of interesting figures you have to play to unlock. chainsaws, grenades, rocket launchers. body parts. also, some pretty sick humor.

it's challenging enough to keep me involved without making me work too hard (it's a game, not a job)

also you can go online with it if you're near a wireless connection and find people to blow up (or get blown up by), and there's a Mad Cow multiplayer mode where you get points for surviving as long as you can as the cow.

it's sick. it's disgusting. the graphics are extreme. I'm in love.

Zombie killing fun!!!!!!!!

This game will blow your mind! You get infected but your immune to it so you use your blood to blow the zombies to bits. It sounds odd but its really fun. I didnt think it would be that gory but I was WRONG! Carnage starts when the game starts. Plus the awesome soundtrack including slipknot. Not only that but you can unlock all 9 of the people from slipknot as playable characters!! Buy asap if your into bloody games, if not...skip...BIG TIME!
