This game is very disappointing. I expected great dark graphics, lots of zombies and monsters, good controls, maybe some gore, but, nooooo! The graphics are weak, zombies are predictable, protagonists are plain, history is weak (never needed but, if you're going to give us one, do it right, damn it!), and some other flaws. What angered me the most was that shooting the zombies do not cripple them right away nor give them holes. It is very hard to blow a zombie and unfun. When you get the automatic riffle, all the game challenge goes right down the toilet. You simple became a killing machine with no aim. The zombies continue as stupid as always all the game long.
The bosses, oh the bosses. They are shalow, stupid, ugly (graphically), and predictable. Some predictability was expected but, hell, not that.
To cherry the top, we have the aim. Why, i the name of mankind, the aim is so bad! Why! Then we have the protagonists. A white man so predictable that seems to come right out of a b movie. The "comic" Mr. Washington, that plays as the funny, tuff wannabe, estheriotype black cop with a wounded past and, to make things worse, a big boobs punk woman that created for fanservice only. She is pretty annoying. Dialogs just go cliche all the way.
I wonder what was supposed to be this game appeal...
