Welcome to Dead Nation
PROS:
This is extremely fun as a forewarning and you will have the urge to play until you finish all of the levels. There's nothing more fun than an arcade version of Left 4 Dead with a lot more zombies! As you advance, the levels get tougher and the hordes grow larger. There are also the bigger guys/mini-bosses who can give you a pain in the ass later in the game. Trust me, if you want a hell of a challenge, you start the game on Normal and start chopping off limbs. If you do start it out on Normal, you will have to plan strategies and tactics to get past a group and, like I said, later on, it's going to be a pain in the butt. On easy, it's plain fun to mop down hordes in full-fledged high-octane action as you mow the crowd down. Also, you can get a friend to join you in co-op or just look for a player online and the game will decrease in difficulty, although still difficult, but fun.
CONS:
Aside from the fun gameplay, the game really doesn't offer a great memorable story, but then again, it's a typical zombie game. So, what could you expect? There is story told between the levels, but not good enough for a memorable story. In the end, this game is really not about the story, but about intense action and fun gameplay. Also, I wish they put in a larger variety of weapons. You probably only get a total of 6 or 7 guns throughout the whole game. I would've preferred a chainsaw or a melee weapon. By the end, I bought nearly all of the weapons and nearly upgraded them to the max. So, I think they should've provided us with more choices and that would make the experience more fun.
THE VERDICT:
Well, if you're the kind of gamer who doesn't mind skipping on story for a game and just enjoying it for its' gameplay, then I recommend this game for you, because you're going to have a lot of fun playing it. I know I did. If you don't have Left 4 Dead and you have a PS3, just check this game out and you will be provided with the same amount of fun. I hope to see a sequel from this one day. So, aside from the story and lack of variety, this game deserves a buy. The treasures throughout and later difficulties offer some replayability value. Once again, if you're a zombie games fan, you won't regret the buy.
