Second Attempt....I was wrong the first time

I rented this game when it first came out, and I completely hated it my first go around. But, my friend just picked it up for me for $10, so I figured I would give it the benefit of the doubt and give it another shot, and I have to admit, I am glad that I did, because now I am loving it.
I will warn you right off the bat, if you are looking or a Left 4 Dead type experience, this game is not for you. That is the problem I had when I first tried it, but going in not expecting that amount of action, it is a lot like Dead Rising meets Fallout.
The Good:
- The visuals are absolutely amazing
- Taking on zombies with a massive arsenal of customizable weapons is just a lot of fun
- Beautifully crafted open world gives you the freedom to do pretty much whatever you want
- Using a bit of strategy to take on multiple zombies (since weapons wear down) makes things interesting
- Online multiplayer lets strangers drop into your game where you are in the story and vice versa
The Meh:
- Driving is a bit awkward
- Weapons wear down and need repairing quite often, not bad, just takes getting used to
The Bad:
- The only thing I don't really like is if you are playing with someone online, and back out, it will set you back a little bit
Long Story Short:
Don't expect constant action like you get in other zombie games, this is a different take on the zombie apocalypse. Like I said, think Dead Rising meets Fallout, and that is more like what you should expect. If at first you don't like it, as I didn't, make a point to give yourself some extra time, you might end up loving it like I do.
