A reflection on my hatred of zombies.
The story is unredeemably bad, and the voice acting is even worse. but dont worry about that. Theres your regular zombie outbreak being covered up by the governmeny story. But there are just a few too many anti-american moments in the story for it to hold any water. There are 10 endings each being significantly different in the basic outcome. The primary game mode is 72 hour mode, which is your charcter, a photojournalist being in a zombie infested mall for 3 days, waiting for his chopper to rescue him and any non-zombies in the mall. your progress is constant, so after you beat the game, playing any othet game modes you'll still have your level. The game uses a PP(prestige points) system to level you up. Leveling up grants you new skills, a bigger inventory, or a larger health bar. this adds replayability, as does Survival mode. this is an unlimited time you spend in the mall, where food does not respawn, so you need to ration it out to deal with your slowly depleting health bar. There are countless clothing stores to customize your character, and an Xbox Live leaderboard system.
Now as much as i love this game, it does have its flaws. The save system is a bit alienating at first, because you can only have one file at a time, and you can only save in designated areas, but i never had a big problem with it. Also there have been some reported disc read errors and hard drive issues, but i havent seen either yet. all in all, i would say this is the 360 killer App
