Any of you guys had a chance to play this one the 360 yet?If not,do it. I think it`s one of the best shtf games ever developed.You`re basicly trapped within a mall,with thousands and thousands of zeds all around.There is also other survivors that you can seek out and take to the security room*safe spot*and theres also people in there aswell.some will work with you,while others are trying to take you out.you aslo have to eat/drink to resore your health and even sleep*save* And just about everything and anything can be used as a weapon.trash cans,benches,potted plants,tables,chairs,plates,ect ect.and of course,theres some sweet firepower aswell.Another thing,if one of the people you are trying to rescue,are took out by the zeds,they will rise aswell |

guys, this you-vs-the-zombies game is an important milestone here in SF-land. do not underestimate what we have at hand presently. we can of course assume that in the process of developing the game, the brightest minds were brought together to discuss the physiology of the zombies and in turn assess the effects of the various battle weapons on them. i imagine that zombie experts from all over the world were canvessed such that the game programmers could accurately portray the behavior of zombies under all situations. hence, it is not a big jump to conclude that this game is perhaps the best collection of zombie recon ever pulled together. so, would one of you with the game shoot a zombie in COM with a 5.56mm and let us know what happens? and, please repeat the zombie shooting with a 5.56mm head shot and report your results as well. this is very valuable intel at this juncture. the results of this testing will determine my future course of firearms purchase -- namely, should i stick with proven-zombie-effective 5.56mm or do i need to move up the power factor ladder to something bigger like, say, a 25mm chain gun? in summary: "Know the enemy and know yourself; in a hundred battles you will never be in peril. When you are ignorant of the enemy, but know yourself, your chances of winning or losing are equal. If ignorant both of your enemy and yourself, you are certain in every battle to be in peril." -- Sun Tzu, The Art of War we must come to know the zombie. ar-jedi |
theres plenty of the good weapons,just have to look for them;).hell there is even augers you can use. i was out driving humvee*which i had to take out 3 federal excapies* earlier.and when the vehical was hit*damm trees jump out of nowhere*,i jumped out and grabbed the .50 off the back and started slinging some lead. the controling and buttons arent nothing at all,very easy to naivgate and use,as long as you dont get caught up in a swarm,you`ll be just fine.but you will die in this game..many many times |
| I used to be into video games...way back in the day, but now they are just darn expensive. The X-box 360 is like what $400.00 give or take a dollar? My nephew wants the new Playstation 3 that will be somewhere around $600.00? Forget it....why play with video game guns when for the same price you can own a real one? That is my stance on it. That kind of money will buy you a lot of uber cool stuff. I get older and the toys get more expensive and cool. |
New toys dont mean squat if you havnt had good zombie training  Im hoping to get a 360 this fall and this game will be on my list. Theres a bunch of good shooter games coming out in november. |

It runs smooth as silk. There is this one area I like to call "The Swamp".This area ,That i`ve seen so far ,has the most zeds around.It is realy thick with the bastards and the game keeps running smooth Right now,i`m fighting this big fat female security guard that has these other 4 girls tryed up and torturing them with a stun gun hahaha.Look around for some trailors for the game to get a real idea of it. |
I've had a few points where the game would stutter. I couldn't tell if this was intentionall at these points or were graphic stutter. For the most part it runs really well. The thing that gets me down is the fucking AI for NPCs you have to save. These are the dumbest of the dumb. They are retard school rejects. They run into objects and will continue running, sometimes you give them a weapon and they stare at it in amazement "ooo it's shiney," and then the habitual "FRANK! FRANK SAVE ME!!" But I did manage 32 saves on my first go through. |
| Go here. There are plenty of videos to watch to make you to want to buy this game.media.xbox360.ign.com/media/748/748396/vids_1.html |
I wouldn't necessarily say that. It just makes you really work harder to achieve that goal. It's a one shot deal, so if you save and are screwed, you're better off just starting over. If you have a memory card and the HDD, then you can save between both, giving you two slots... I still say the biggest complaint is NPC AI... idiots, all of them. |

Well I had to have this game so I bought a 360. I finally beat it and got the true ending and infinity mode. Now I just finished the zombie genocide achievement and got the megabuster gun. What really helped me in this game was getting at least two mini saws from the clown and then getting the 3 books to increase its killing range. Those saws will last the whole game unless your just killing every zombie you see and they clear crowds really fast. The megabuster is great for the nutcases you encounter like the 3 on the humvee. My only dissapointment so far is that no one has found a way to get the tank you have to fight at the end. That would be awsome if you could get that tank. |

Fighting the Zombies is fun, but frankly i was dissapointed with this game. I would rather have Resident Evil with this many zombies on screen. Problems include: 1. If you want to carry more ammo, you have to wast an inventory slot and carry a weapon just like it 2. You can not clear an area and barricade to render an area safe. I went back to the mall entrance to do this and was not allowed, the unobstructed front door would'nt close. Boooooh.... zombies respawn if you move 50 feet. 3. The Katana is awesome until it breaks... Also, how does a lead pipe break? bend maybe, but break? 4. Why do the bosses require well over a hundred rounds to kill. Hell! they should just run around and kill all 53,000+ zombies by themselves. 5. The special forces troops can take dozens of round in the face, even from a high-powered hunting rifle and still shoot you with great accuracy. 6. Human AI is horrible. They move slowly and do little to protect themselves. 7. Seems like every other survivor is a deranged lunatic hell-bent on torturing other survivors. 8. You cannot not aim and move at the same time.-my single biggest gripe concerning the controls. You can walk/run and shoot, but that does'nt help with the near idiotic boss fights. Straffing would help from barricade shots. 9. At the end, why am i shooting at a tank with a .50? Maybe im just not into arcady console games anymore. 10. The hot (IMHO) DHS agent women turns into a zombie how? When? She kind of looks like Zena's sidekick. Cant remember her name. |
