A little different from what you would expect from the series.

Difficulty:
Easy
Time Spent:
10 to 20 Hours
The Bottom Line:
"Instant classic"
GAME PLAY
The game play is very easy since you have cross hairs while playing although you can remove it to have the same game play in an arcade.The game can be played with two people or one person either using one wii remote or dual-wielding two wii remotes.It is still good to have a gun peripheral like the zapper or the ones in the official bang bang box of the game.
ENEMIES
Enemies here are very easy to beat there are only two special mutants a puker and the fury ,while the rest are just plain zombies using weapons , shields or anything they can find to hurt you.
Like its predecessors there is constantly a save the civilian bonus ,but there are also golden brains worth 2000 points scattered in each level and an object to slow down time for a while.
Rating
The game is rated M for more reasons than being violent and filled with blood and gore.This is the second most profane game today,and there are many things that are not for little children.
Horror
It is not that scary when you play it because the main characters aren't the ones to be panicking in the situation they are in,there is only one scary boss here and there are many enemies that surprise you more than scare you.
Content
It has a short story mode but director's cut mode is fairly long.This game gives you high replay value so you can play any stage at any time you want.There are a total of 6 weapons here that you can buy and upgrade but some weapons are completely inferior to others .There are also many soundtracks,3D models, pictures and videos that can be unlocked.The length of the game is really up to you you can be a wise spender or a person who will regret buying the guns.
