Interesting take on a zombie survival game, Left for dead meets fallout 3 meets borderlands!
Pros:
-coop is a lot of fun, even though it takes the spooky out of it (
-Combat is bloody fun, and sometimes hilarious
-A lot of exploration and looting
-weapon upgrading and building from scavenged parts
-sound is pretty good and zombies sound threatening
-graphics are done well, 2 460s in sli runs the game max settings at 1920x1200 at 83fps avg (too bad there was no DX 11 effects or vsync in the menus)
-plenty of weapons to make or find
-detail in the environment is amazing, turned over tables, cups and bottles strewn over the place as if a people were running in a panic.
cons:
-weapons break awfully quickly
-facial animations are dated, and npcs sometimes have weird animations that make them look weird
-extremely buggy my first few launches (note: a reboot of the system fixed my fps and glitching issues)
-in game chat cannot be toggled on or off (this was weird i could not find an option for it, my friend couldn't hear me but i could hear him and we couldn't find a way to fix that)
-repetitive missions (go here talk to him, or get me some champagne etc)
-borderlands re-spawn mechanic (when u die u spawn near at your last saved area but u lose 10% of your cash i believe. this really detracts from the urgency of a zombie attack, would have been nice to have your buddies revive you)
-beach balls are deadly!!!!! (i have killed and been killed by kicking a beach ball)
Like i said this is a review in progress and i will update later on as i complete this game. But so far i really am enjoying this game especially with my buddy. If you are a fan of borderlands and a fan of zombie games pick this game up you wont be disappointed! or wait till Gspot's review otherwise happy zombie killing!!!
