A Zombie Game Done Right

When I first got this game, I was skeptical about how good this game would be, after hearing some bad things from my friends about it. But once I got past the first zombie breach section after killing over 200 zombies, I was hooked. For the next two weeks, I carved and hacked my way towards the end of the story mode, the thrill of almost endless zombie slaughtering filling me with the feeling that I was almost unstoppable. Even though I only achieved the "C" story ending (due to my many hours slaughtering roughly 100,000 zombies and ignoring most of the quests), I liked the game for almost every aspect of it. The only problems that I had with the game was that most of the people (who I had reluctantly chosen to save) are total IDIOTS. They either get themselves lost into a mob of bloodthirsty zombies which kills them before you can reach them, or they try too hard to help kill zombies and get brutally mobbed to death. The story is nice, so too are the graphics, but after my 5,000th zombie kill, the sense of repetitiveness sank in and I felt bored. Other than that, this game will forever live on in our hearts as one of the best zombie games to date.

PROS: Addicting gameplay, amazing graphics, total zombie ownage, and interesting story mode.
CONS: Repetitive gameplay, too much great zombie ownage can lead to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, dumb AI.
