I love this game, but i decided to write this review trying to be as objective as possible. Truth be told my first impression of the game was slight disappointment. The first couple of missions seemed pointless, just a way to ease you into the "zombie hell" and get you used to the button layout. In reality those early missions are just your baby steps, embrace the early grind, take your time explore, get rich and remember the key to this game is being over prepared. You may find the early game easy but believe me that is not a consistent theme. You very quickly become aware that this game is painfully difficult. Each situation can be approached in many different ways, weather you choose to sneak, beat em all down melee, run and gun, pick em off one by one, regardless you will need a clear game plan. Sloppiness and mistakes are definitely not rewarded in this game. The graphics are solid, the overall story/plot was so-so but made up for with good believable characters and rather decent voice acting. The level layouts are fun and give alot of room to explore, the acts for the most part are huge and diverse. All and all this is a great zombie survival game, just remeber 4 player online coop is where it really shines. If your not willing to buy it, then at the least rent it for a weekend and conquer it! :)
