It's no Resident Evil 4 but it's a blast to play.

It's pretty obvious this game has taken it's inspiration from games that came before such as Resident Evil 4 and 5 and even Gears of War. Movies such as Evil Dead are also heavily referenced and this isn't a bad thing.

In this 10 - 15 hr adventure (obviously time spent to finish the game will depend on your experience with this genre and how much you like to explore) you'll spend alot of time blowing the heads and limbs off the undead as you search for strawberries and brains to feed to baby heads..........um yeah the game is certainly a little strange lol.

I really thought the over the shoulder perspective was done well and didn't really have any issue with the camera or the shooting. However there is a section where your a 2-D character scrolling to the right shooting the undead in a shooter esque game which I didn't care for but not enough to turn me from the game.

The soundtrack is excellent, and the graphics while certainly not the best for 2011 get the job done. The game does go a little overboard with the sexual references and swearing but again not enough to distract me.

You may wanna rent it before buying because it's something you can definetly finish in a day or two and with no multiplayer $60 may be kinda steep. But in closing if your a fan of Resident Evil 4 - 5 and the Gears of War series you should definetly check it out. :)
