Zombie killing done to death? I don't think so.
You play as 4 survivors trying to reach target destinations or infected zombies trying to prevent them. The graphics are good and comparable to other games using the HL2 engine. Great gore is one of the highlights and there is nothing more pleasing than watching zombies head explode or players getting their guts torn out. The weapon selection is good but limited. As you progress through the levels, you will have opportunity to upgrade weapons. The key to the game is teamwork and without it, you will lose. The game features voice over IP but is drowned out by blaring music, so you will have to turn it down in the options. The maps in the game are of reasonable length but very linear. Not much room to explore. Perhaps one of the biggest bugs in the game is being stuck in spawn mode in multiplayer. Spawn time is critical in a match and can decide if you will win or lose. Being stuck trying to respawn is a huge bug and hopefully be fixed with a patch. The sound in the game is excellent, and makes very good use of ambient effects. You can pinpoint where the infected are by hearing them growl or moan. There are great strategic elements in the game like knowing when to attack, or knowing when to use specific items like med packs or explosive devices. There are specific creatures that spawn at random like the Tank which is a super zombie which the infected team gets to play. He can mow over players and cripple them quite easily and hence teamwork required to take it down. There is a witch also which is spawned randomly at various locations on a level. While she doesn't look very intimidating, she can cripple a player very easily if she is startled. It would have been great if players had the ability to choose where to place her on the level. While the game is very repetitive, there are enough elements to keep you entertained and addicted.
