When I installed this game and start playing, I had a mixed sensation about it: on one hand, crowds of mostly defenseless creature, surrounding you, ready to be smashed, chopped, stabbed, sliced, shoot, and etc, etc.... at first moment, it feels really good. On other hand this endless, mercyless and... senseless slaugther becomes boring pretty soon.... the game itself turns into a tedious and boring routine, trying to accomplish silly missions, in order to pass the game.
Graphic engine: nice, well working but old fationed and pretty far behind modern game standards.... anyway, it can not be considered as a strong part of the game....
Gameplay: like i said before, it is kinda repetitive and boring: it is always the same: go there, do that, opening your way through endless crowds of zombies... which become more and more dense, along gameplay. in addition, I think that in some cases it is unnecessary hard... a purpose of a game is fun, and not to enrage the player... I guess I can mention something that gave me a lot of fun for a while is a possibility to make incredible, sometimes completely senseless combinations of objects, in order to create funny and deadly weapons... many times does not make any sense: like wheelchair and car battery... wtf? of flashlight and gems... but it is funny, at least
Storyline: Silly and primitive, like a cheap 80's zombie movie. nothing new, nothing original
Controls: not bad, but can not be customized... no comments.

Overall: the game looks fun, at first sight, but it lacks good storyline, it is boring, and sometimes damn hard... but if you look for a senseless slaugther from the beginning till the end, it is a good choice.
