Fun, Addictive, But Almost Seems Impossible Master

This game is fun and fairly addictive. Just being given the ability to take practically any object located within the mall and use it as an weapon in your defense against countless hoards of zombies is truly the heart and fun of this game. Other than that the save system is descent. It is not as cold hearted and ruthless as people say it is. You have unlimited saves but you can only save in selected areas such as the security room, and the restrooms (which there are several of). My biggest complaint about this game is the added difficulty that is at times unnecessary. The game was fun until it reached 7:00pm on the first day in the game. Thats when the zombies eyes began to glow, and they became more aggressive. To add to that, you now have convicts in the courtyard to make it all the more harder for you to escort poorly programed characters who at times will slow you down, get lost, or just freeze in their tracks and not respond to your call. Not only that, but also after a certain hour the lights in the mall turn off, now making it harder to see. And to top that; as the game progresses the zombie population increases which is a good concept except for when you have escorts, side missions and case missions to complete in order to fulfil the story line; so often times you will find yourself re-loading your last game save and re-doing a story/case mission. With all of these concepts in place, it often times makes it seem impossible to complete the escourt missions and add to the story line with these hindrances. Overall this game is addictive, and fun, but for me...its just a rental.
