This game is a throwback to the old shooter that had no storyline per se. It is about stemming the zombie hoard and that is all that there is to it. No storyline to tie you down or divert your attention. This game is about getting from one safe house to the next wihtout being mauled by hoards of zombies who, like killer bees, will swarm you when you least expect it. It is creepy and fun as hec to play. The settings are reminiscent of some of the darker sets contained in the game 'half life 2' which is not surprising since the game is by the same folks. Where this game excels is in its lack of pretense to be anything but a shooter and in the cooperative play mode where one can hook up with buddies while trying to survive the zombie onrush. The graphics are good, the settings are cool if not a bit dark which, by the way, is the perfect kind of setting for killing or being killed by mindliess zombies. Weapons are great and I personally recommend the automatic shotgun for taking out many zombies at a time. This game reminds me of the good ol days of 'Doom' when a shooter was simply a shooter and the storyline was about self perservation.
