First off, I do not enjoy zombie games; hated that sh!t in Black Ops. I purchased this game only after being constantly plugged by my guys at the local Gamestop. Within one hour i was hooked. The little RPG element added with an immersive and beautiful environment sold me at first. After putting in hour after hour of playing I began to see more and more worth loving. I think the fact that Deep Silver didn't go down the path of dumbing the game down to avoid controversy is worth recognition by itself. I have two copies now and am co-op'ing this game almost every night. Hours have been lost simply exploring and hunting. The quests and story are as believable as i think they can be for a game based on zombies taking over a tropical island, but giving historical facts as a way to back up the story makes this game feel more of an RPG than other actual RPG's I have played (looking at you White Knight Chronicles). I have never written a review for any game so I am not very versed at this, and have probably not sold anyone who have read this, but believe me when I say this game is fun, satisfying, deep, beautiful, and sooo much more. If you haven't played, give it a try. If you have played it, "Who do you VooDoo b1tch"!?!?!
