I hate it. With no control and just watching the mechanical movements of the screen is very frustrating. I cant stand this game. If I paid for it I'd be pissed.

One of the most boring games I’ve ever played. Predictable, no possibility to explore. It was a roller coaster ride and not a very fun one either.

Purely designed for children with no parental guidelines. Stereotype characters and the grind-house effect got old real fast. Waste of money really.

I was greatly disappointed in the game and only played it for about 30 minutes before quitting out of sheer boredom. Unfortunately it's basically just a shoot'em/kill'em game with pretty much no story line at all. The zombies just keep coming and coming and you just keep shooting and shooting until you get to the next level which is pretty much the same thing. The zombies look ok and the opening credits have a "grind house" influence, but if you're expecting a game like the ones mentioned above you will be greatly disappointed. This game is absolutely NOT for anyone under 17, mostly because of the adult language and themes. It was a waste of money in my opinion.

Any value to the plot is negated <br />by extreme, unnecessary profanity throughout. Rating: 1 / 5 The graphics aren’t that great but it is still fun to play

Like it was designed/written by a 13 yr old. Every third word is the "F" word or worse. Just continual shooting zombies & ghouls over and over - same faces - same ball-headed guy; same young woman. ABSOLUTELY NO VARIETY. The language was funny at first, but then it just repeated and repeated and repeated - cursing for the sake of cursing. You'd have to be stoned to enjoy this game more than a half-hour. For the just under $50 price tag this thing is going back TODAY. Rating: 1 / 5 This is the most idiotic game I’ve played.
