Really. If you're a zombie fan, you have to get this. Basically, the game involves you going around, biting people's brains out(with a beautiful and over the top bloodspray every single time.)
That sounds like it could get old, but it doesn't. Not when you have a horde of zombies following you. Not when the characters are always screaming hilarious things as you maim them or devour their brains. Not when you can throw gut grenades, life-stunning flatulance(which makes it a piece of cake to get those oh-so-satisfying brain bites), roll your head at people and explode it, or rip your hand off to possess people.
It's all great. Think you may wind up with some trouble in the next room? Well, instead of killing a guy in this one with a brain bite, rip off your hand, possess him, and use his gun to go blast away the enemies in the next room. Need to take a break? Push your zombie horde out in front of you and let them do most of the work for a while. Getting overwhelemd? Pull out some innards and let 'em rip, sending the cops flying.
And there's vehicles to cause carnage in. Awesome, grueseom carnage. And, as a nice little touch, your zombies will jump in next to you if there's room for them in the vehicle.
Great humor, GREAT gore, and great gameplay. The story is a little lacking, but you'll hardly notice that as you're going for another brain bite.
If you're not a zombie fan, I don't see any way you'll be hooked to this game, though. But that should be obvious regarding a game where you play a zombie....
Creative, funny, and 100% enjoyable.

Not much to say other than that it's an easy game and it's a lot of fun. The music is great with covers of old 50's songs which really helps the feel of the game. Plus the detail on the town of PunchBowl, A 1950's town with futuristic concepts, adds a delightful touch to the game. It almost reminds me of Disneyland's Tomorrowland back before they remodeled it. I also enjoy the ability to rip off your head and go bowling with it as well as through your hand at people and posses them. All out great game.
loads of laughs

i laughed non-stop playing this game. all-in-all a great game. pretty good graphics. controls are very simple, a child could figure it out (though it is rated M and they shouldn't be playing it). the lethal flatulence was my favorite, but i used gut grenades more. this in an original game and a breath of fresh air. although a tad short, worth the play.
FUN!

This is the most fun I've had in a LONG time playing a video game. Zombie fan or not, you'll enjoy this game. Humor, action, great game play, and the overall feel of the game makes it a very fun and polished game. How many games let you rip your own arm off, control the arm (in a 3rd person view), walk around all over the place including up walls and through vent shafts, and possess people?
Like I said, zombie fan or not, this is a very fun game that anyone could enjoy!!!!
Awesome zombie fun for the whole family!!

Well, maybe not the kids but this game kicks ass! I bought it yesterday and couldn't stop playing it all night. The zombie butt blasts are the best! I was cracking up at the dialog and the funny noises the zombies would make when you whistle at them to join you. It's great to finally have a game where you get to play the zombie and see how the other side lives..
Finally, a game that's NOT full of itself.

In this day and age when games seem to try "too hard" to be realistic, or take themselves so seriously, here comes a game that's sole purpose is to just have fun! Considering that the next-gen systems are just around the corner, it's a very refreshing experience to play this game.
The graphics aren't anything special, (actually, they're kind of ugly). The controls sometimes get a little clunky. There's even a little slowdown from time to time. What really matters to me, is that the game keeps the player entertained at all times. Stubbs himself kept me going at the game, just because I was so eager to see what else the character can do with his body! The soundtack is GREAT! I love the use of covers from the classic oldies such as "Mr. Sandman", and "My Boyfriend's Back".
The game isn't for everyone though. This game is BRUTAL. Blood spurts all around the room when you attack, and the gore even remains wherever you attacked someone. The sound effects are equally grotesque, with tons of gurgling, and fleshy sound FX. The game seems to constantly makes fun of itself, which may take some players out of the game (although this is my favorite part). This definetely isn't Silent Hill or Resident Evil, as it seems to even make a mockery of the "survival horror" genre. I think zombie fans will eat this one up (especially those into the cult 50's zombie films).
Overall, this is one game that I recommend that EVERYONE should at least take a look at. You may find yourself pleasanlty surprised. I hope this one does well so a sequel can be made!! :)
Hilarious zombie action

This is the funniest zombie game I've ever played. You get to eat brains. You get to knock people's heads off with their own arms. It's like t-ball but with bodies and blood and legs and torsos flying all over the place.
Excellent bloody zombie fun

Okay, the fact that this game was made by the makers of Halo should be enough alone to consider that this game has something to offer. The game play is simple and if you have ever played the above mentioned game then you will be able to play this game just as easily since the controls are pretty much the same. The humor is amazingly simple but it all works pretty well. The one level I didn't like really was a dancing level that is a memory game and it's just a little annoying but the makers must have seen this because you are allowed to skip it if you fail to get any of the different parts of a given level. And also, the difficulty settings are the same as Halo with an easy, normal, hard, and "mpossible" ranges.
Another factor that makes this game stand out is of course the music. All of which are covers of 1950's and 60's classics, which are probably easy to make sound cheesey but all of the bands do a excellent job of either making the song they do their own or staying true to the original.
Overall this is a remarkablely good game dispite the awkward subject matter but I think that just adds to the funness of the game. The game is a bit short though, a friend and I beat it in one sitting in about 4 and a half hours on normal.
Lastly, be on the look out for the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas nod. It's easy to spot and just kind of adds to the laughs.
