The Bottom Line:

"Highly addictive"

First of all, I have to say originally I only bought this game because I had actually been in it-- Via a motion-capture job, I played a character in one little scene in Fort Mercer with the snake-oil man... and a zombie as well in that scene (the rest of the game they made in NYC- and boy- I wish I had been part of that!) Again- I LOVE games that are a perfect balance of thoughtful and adventurous challenges: i.e. you're always trying to figure out how to complete the next part of the mission AND challenging fights. I love A-typical environments-- not same old Halo-esque modern environments that change very little. Here you are fighting in the old west, but have beautiful mountain environments. LOVE the frightening zombie scenario-- which will pop out and attack at all points in the game... And even had fun with John MArston's side missions. The only downfall was that the ending was anti-climatic... and then it launches you back into the world 50 years later, and you are a zombie... and you can fight the towns all over again infinitely.. So it doesn't ever really end... You're constantly left with the feeling that you didn't really finish the game.
