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.

Not a game to go hog wild over.
I got the game hoping that it would deliver the same performance that the movie did. Unfortunately, its just like other movies to game conversion. Probably the only difference is is that it has decent graphics (only 64mb video card minimum req), but nothing like the major Quake or Doom titles. Of course, those games take more time & effort being put into them, thus require more hardware in your computer. The company did a great job of creating the game, unfortunately there are some characteristics of the game that fell short. For instance, the character is overall too slow. The zombies can easily catch up with him. Also, last time I checked, the movie never had a character that was a farmer in it. They should have tried to take a character from the movie, then it would have been more interesting. Next, you couldnt melee attack a zombie until the 3rd level of the single player mode. Probably the best thing you could have done was allow the original & 1st weapon, the farmers shotgun, to melee attack the zombies (& I dont mean just w/ the butt of the weapon). Another thing that would have kept the game interesting would have been to get the phones & tv back & working again, w/ the remaining humans left to work those to help other humans get together or something. Most definitely the worst part, was the fact that in the end of the game, you usually have a boss. Well unfortunately, during the whole game, you face the boss. The ending is just about 10 zombies that you have to kill, only difference is you have an arsenal of weapons to choose from. The great thing is you get to choose from secondary melee weapons. My best advice, if you choose to buy & own this game, is to keep the fire axe. Also, to have a lil fun as well as to slow down the zombies, use a 6-shooter to shoot @ the legs (only 1 leg) to have them start crawling. If youre lucky, you can have them wiggling really funny by shooting 1 leg & 1 arm off. Well I said nuff. I will admit that there is 1 (just one) fun area in the game, but ill let u find that. Unfortunately the fun area doesnt last long (typical for this kind of game). The great thing that kept this game above the half way mark in rating is the fact that you have multiplayer capabilities. Just a lil hint: if you plan on playing the game online, dont be a dummy & make sure you have DSL or better connection cause there are still some people that have dial up crud (no offense, used to use it myself). So ya, make sure you have DSL if you plan on playing the game online. Anyways, good luck to those who buy the game & I am def gonna sell my version online.
