LOTD is supposed to put you in one of George Romero's movies. Which it does not do. If you are expecting a great experience, this is not the game for you. The reason I played this was because there isn't really a lot of choice when it comes to zombie invasion games. I didn't want to believe what they said about this game, so I took the plunge and fell into a truckload of manure.

The Good:

- Decent choice of weapons
- Zombies actually look freaky, sometimes
- Voice acting is surprisingly good
- Blood gushes out from zombies
- Very low system requirements

The Bad:

- It uses the 10 year old Unreal engine (although they claim it was tweaked)
- Your in game buddy Otis is as dumb as the zombies when it comes to combat
- The developers resorted to cheap scares way too often
- Foolish hit detection system (aren't zombies supposed to die when shot in the dead?)
- No story coop mode (that would've raised the score a bit)
- Mediocre story
- Horrible multi player coop

Play it if:

- You are desperate for zombie games
- You want to play it just to see for yourself
- You really really like zombies

Don't play it if:

- You expect at least an average game
- You want to see state of the art graphics
- You are expecting Resident Evil
- You are expecting Left 4 Dead
- You want a great story
- You expect a nice coop game

    Ok, i will be the first to admit this isn't Call of Duty 4 caliber. Not even close. But the official review on this site is much too hard on this title. Keep in mind that this game was made with a shoestring budget. W... Read Full Review
