First of all, the good things. The graphics in this game are nice and crisp and well-done. The sound is excellent. Killing zombies is fun. And...well, that's it.
Other than that, this game is just plain frustrating. I don't know what they were thinking when they set up the save system and mission structure, but they sure missed the boat on this one. I consider myself an average gamer, and with time I can complete most games. But I'm so frustrated with this one after a couple of hours of play that I'm ready to send it back.
There's only one save file and very few save opportunities. You can save your character's skills and start all over again, but who wants to keep doing this? For those out there that like to find all the secret stuff in games and have A LOT of patience, then you will love this one. And as you can see by the reviews a lot of people do.
And I was VERY excited about playing this game, too. All I can say is that I'm disappointed and I just wish the actual structure of the game would have equaled the graphics and sound.
Also, how they could develop a game that doesn't have voiceovers in game so you don't have to read the incredibly small text is beyond me. Especially when the dialogue takes place in the middle of gameplay. The phone rings and you HAVE to answer it and stop everything. My eyes hurt from trying to read the small dialogue too. Not all of us have 50 inch HD TVs.
Too much was missed on this one for me to recommend it. If you're itching to play something, give it a try, because the graphics are sweet and the sounds are awesome. Too bad the gameplay doesn't live up to these standards. Only patient gamers need apply.
