I will start this off by plainly saying that this game is amazing. Not amazing as in OMG MUST BUY, MUST HAVE, NO SLEEP, JUST PLAY. But amazing as in there is so much to do in this game. The replay value is pretty extensive and for now that it has been dropped in price it is a definite must buy.

The controls are quite simple and easy to pick up. I had a couple issues with answering the phone, checking the time, maybe it was just me that had problems with this. It just didn't really seem to do what I wanted it to. Those issues aren't really all that big of a deal to be honest.

I enjoyed the plethora of weapons at your disposal, seeing as almost everything can be used as a weapon. And by EVERYTHING I mean from guns, to swords, to 2x4's to the park benches. ANYTHING! That was what I was finally hoping for. I always hated those games where you are running a long and you happen to run out of ammo for instance. Well usually that is a problem, not anymore. In those other games you always think to yourself, well why can't I just pick up that trashcan lid and smack this stupid zombie over the head? Well now you can! This game is ridiculously funny and well worth the money to pick up. Even for 60 bucks it would have been worth it.

Now there is a reason I have given this game endless praise and only an 8.0. For all of you who have played this game you will understand my Review Deck. There are scenes where audio is played, that are great, the voice acting was top notch. Problem is, there are certain things that you have to read, and this game for some reason likes to put all the text in what seems like point 6 font. I don't know if there is an option to fix that or what, but it's hard to read what the hell is going on sometimes. I actually referred to a strategy guide numerous times just to look up the text of what that person said/messaged to me. Talk about frustrating, because it doesn't matter what size TV you are using. At first I thought it was the 13" screen, so I moved my 360 to a 19" and still couldn't read it, even on my 32" I had issues. You're in the middle of a pack of zombies and next thing you know you have a message that is so small that even ants have to squint to see it. With that said, this is again an amazing game and I hope they make a sequel. Lets just pray that this time around we can read it a little easier without having to call up gramps and have him use his reading glasses to get the information.

ps. If there is an option to change the text size please message me on how to.
