My review on this ambitious game on the XBLA market
Luckily for you, while exploration reveals great swaths of shadowy forestland and sprawling farms destined to go fallow, you'll also find plenty of abandoned buildings to ransack. Every home, storefront, barn, and gas station contains some quantity of the goodies you need, ranging from food and medical supplies to weapons, ammunition, and building materials. You never know whether you'll find junk food, bullets, or something altogether new when you break down a door and start rooting around in highlighted furniture and forsaken luggage.
With rough textures, framerate hiccups, and geometry that often visibly winks into existence not too far in front of you, State of Decay won't win any beauty pageants. And the expansive feel of its open world practically cries out (in vain) for some form of co-op play. But it also seems like every inch of real estate has been blessed with loving attention. Whether you're running around on foot or joyriding in abandoned vehicles, it's hard to resist the constant "I wonder what's in here?" allure of every closed door.
