Leave This Pile Of Sheit To The Flies.

User Rating: 1 | The War Z PC
Hm, War Z.... Instead of reviewing the shroud of negative publicity, damning the devs for letting some of the crap that goes on happen, or even taking shorts at the hacking and idiocy in the community (which is laughable- at best), let's put this game on the chopping block and get a good look at it's innards.

Let's just review this game based on it's merits. Which *SPOILER*-there aren't any.

Mechanics: Try not to get sniped by crawling through the large, open world. Stop in a small town for supplies, have a zombie notice you- run up and Fist Pump it a few times, and continue. I'll admit, the first few days of playing this title, I was hooked. I was willing to let the flat animations go, but the longer I ran around just trying to find a candy bar to get +25 on my health, I started to realize: the best way to keep my characters appetite down was simply to not log in.
+Overall: 3/10. You'd literally have more fun loading up "Left 4 Dead 2"s Dark Carnival campaign and ONLY playing the Whack-A-Mole attraction at the Whispering Oaks.

Graphics- Oy. "Not good" would be an understatement. While I will admit, the ENVIRONMENTAL graphics are nice- i.e., the sun raising or the moon hanging high on the land. Other than that, the graphics and character/enemy animations are as stale as a day old piece of toast. Be careful- one touch might make it crumble! Everything looks so... cardboard to me. I will give credit where credit is due- whomever Photoshoped all the images on their page was very good (well, some of them).
+Overall:4/10. Hm, a little bit more than the mechanics- however, I think Super Mario Galaxy had better graphics. And that's a no.

Sound: At times, just right. At other times, like when a random sound gongs as you run up to a completely empty town, the sound begins to hinder more than help. The zombie sounds a re pretty good, but you can tell they loop only 5 or 6 different moans. Even the sound distance on the guns is wonky.
+Overall: 310. Game's sound quality isn't spit.

FINAL VERDICT: Leave this pile of shit to the flies. There is NOTHING of substance here, when just looking at the game. Factor in all of those other things I said I wasn't going to touch, and it becomes clear to realize that his isn't a game- this is an epic attempt in failure. People are still pumping it, and I don't understand why. Let this game do what the creators want it to do: fail.
