A run of the mill FPS, though rewarding to fans of the series.
The up close kills, or stealth kills at first are very satisfying. You will definitely notice that these kills where modeled from the T.V show, but after the 50th encounter it gets highly repetitive and I found that if I just mash left click and E regardless of the reticule it results in faster kills.
The story mode is nothing you never heard before, and it plays out on a map. Usually you have a choice of routes to a town[s] to loot for gas, supplies, ammo. After playing for 20 minutes you will notice that the levels recycle, which make the game seriously easy if you remember where the gas or special item you are looking for was, it usually is in the same spot, or maybe moved just a tad away. This was a serious issue for me, I feel the game was so rushed the devs did not finish what was planned. The idea to use a road map, especially one that is larger, more choices and each rendered individually would of bumped the score a lot higher.
The gameplay is fairly simple to anyone who has played a FPS before. You kill things, you pick up things ect. The game has very little interactivity- you cannot interact with anything that is not glowing when you get close, which makes it a terrible shame and hurts the atmosphere of the zombie apocalypse as it simply does not have any feelings urgency, fear or "uhh..what now bro?". Instead we get some set pieces.
There are elements of stealth that can be used to get in and get out of a area full of zombies, I wish they expanded this.
Michael Rooker and Norman Reedus do a good job with voicing their characters. The rest are prety bad. Music wise I have to say it's really crappy, plain and simple.
Overall I think this game has potential, also if the game gets a following and receives support from the community with mods then I think this game could be actually a decent game if that happens. Until then, it will remain a unpolished, unfinished FPS with a mega popular license.
