Okay first off are the graphics, the graphics for such a game thats surprisingly huge enviroment wise, are beautiful and IMO great, from the real time reflections to the nice blur it shows as you run around doing the many things that are possible, the blood gushing out is realistic and satisfying, if youve got an HD set with the proper cables and the like you'll love it even more,i know i do! Now the sound, nothing bad at all here, hearing a 1,000+ zombies at 2am is pretty scary in DIGITAL surround sound(make sure you got some fiber optic cables for the best sound), my only bone to pick with it is just that there arent any voice over work when you talk to people like in side missions and the walkie talkie but the text is ok, the cutscene work is great, no crappy dialogue or horrible acting its all good here, the gameplay mechanics are perfect and simple, A to jump,B to pick up items/open doors, basically the "Action" button, X is the "fun" button, with no weapon or item equipped you punch,kick,throw,chop,lift up and body slam,etc with the leveling up granting you more moves, Y button doesnt really do much except when youre doing the escort missions and you wanna yell at the poor guy/girl to stay with you, right trigger goes into an over the shoulder view/aim mode so you can precisely shoot and throw items like knives and bowling balls for a strike maybe lol, right bumper lets you scroll through items/weapons forward, the left trigger is your camera:also within the camera mode you can zoom in and out by pressing A and B,and snapping pics by pressing X, and the left bumper serves the same as the right by scrolling through your inventory counter clockwise. Now everyones been having a problem with the save system, i admit at times ive caught myself swearing at the game cause of it, only because i hadnt saved it for a while and the convicts killed me and i had to start from where i left, which meant any leveling up or items i mightve gotten were now lost,BUT if you can remember to pay very close attention to your watch like the game says its great, i save it after every psychopath battle, and etc, oh yeah to be honest the only other bad thing is how annoying the old guy is named "Otis" who will constantly bother you and sometimes if you "cut" him(for example a zombie might attack and the convo was disconnected) the guy will call back and say its rude that yoou just hung up on him and then repeat what he said to make sure you got it which for the most part just frustrates me but sometimes i didnt see what he was talking about so its cool).And lastly the achievements are a total of 50, each giving you 20 pts, some are easy others not so easy, the game deserves the "must buy" sticker, its full of life no pun intended,so much to do, and to that other guy who wrote a review there is a MODE that will just let you roam freely without the worry of having to do the missions/case files, its called INFINITE MODE n00b, the 8.4 gamespot gave the game isnt good enough, i would say the game deserves at least a 9, i say a 9.7, oh yeah and it doesnt get repetitive, the zombies are just a mere nuisance but dont get it twisted, they can be very difficult at times, well i have to get back to trying to get my achievement for 53,594 zombies killed, i hope you found this review helpful...
