Here's the truth

This game needs a lot of things to be amazing, but what it has is better than great. The story follows the events of Frank West, a journalist with a distinguished background, but his carreer is at a low point. Desperate for a scoop, he follows a tip and gets a helicopter into a Willamete, and ends up at the mall for three days. During the course of those three days, the DHS gets involved, you get plenty of photo ops, and you'll encounter some psychopaths and convicts. And, oh yeah, there are zombies. ; )

The zombies are the true heroes of the story, providing both comedic relief and stress relief. While the story is interesting to follow, you will often find yourself on random killing sprees or hunting for a better weapon. Or battling the save system. This save system isn't horrible, but it is a tad bit annoying when you die and find out that you haven't saved for the past five real world hours.

This game truly stumbles during the ridicuously tough boss fights. You will often times resort to cheapness to win, and if this happens, something has gone wrong. And, the true ending nets you a cutscene that leaves you craving an explination as to why you just beat this game.
