If your looking for a GTA styled Zombie game, this MIGHT be what your looking for.
Granted that when you first play it starts off nice but then you can easily pick up on a lot of features that need improvement. One big problem that a lot of haters point out almost immediately is the save structure. Yeah it is rather painful to deal with at first, but you get used to it and you get better at surviving longer without saving. It is almost as if you shouldn't save too often cuz you can save yourself right into a rock and a hard place where completing the game is physically impossible. However, if you do manage to do that and choose to start over Capcom has taken the 'Hero Save' approach from Fable. Your stats and skills will not be reset when you attempt it a second time. Making it easy to max out your levels early on in preparation for the harder parts later on.
When i started it i almost gave up on it, packed it up and traded it back to Gamestop. I gave it a second chance because I refused to believe a concept like this could be executed so poorly. And then one day when i was in the food court surrounded by the undead, hiding behind a counter i found a ketchup bottle and there was this particularly overly enthusiastic corpse just beggin for a bite o jimmy. So, i tossed the bottle right at its face and then PLOP! her face was covered in red and i was on the floor dying in laughter! It reminded me of the Army of Darkness scene where Ash is burying Evil Ash and he says "hey uh, what's that you got on your face?" Hunh? PLOP! LOLOLOLOL This game has so much charm that no Evil Dead, G. Romero, R. E. fan can resist it. So i beg you, give it a couple of chances to get used to it, at least until you have had the chance to use just about every item in the mall as a weapon, it is sooo much fun. Even if you don't care about the missions, just run around and wreak havoc! The only suggestion i can make to improve the game would be that how about the survivors DON'T take damage until AFTER they have joined your party? I mean they have been safe up until the point Frank spots them and then you leave the map and they are slaughtered? Come on, is Frank's luck really that bad that he infects the other people around him with it?
