FUn!
Great but glitchy
Hey! I get stuck in Mission 7
The game is Awesome! I easily finish the other mission without getting killed but in mission 7 how can i survive?

Lure the zombies out of cover, and blast em with the tank. Move your troops forward, with the tank unit on point. Try to keep the zombies from spreading out too much.
What they said
First off, I really do like this game. It's got a great-looking battle-screen, and the setting is nice, too. It gives you that "Ha ha, man, this is cool" feeling as your troops shot the zombies. Not only that, but the graphics are very, very good!
The problem is, the whole experience was kind of soured when certain issues came up: 1-Pretty much what Drakenian said before me, the pistol & rifle troop and machine gun vehicle accuracy's a little low considering they are military personnel. I'm not asking for it to become a cakewalk, but even when the distance between the soldiers and the zombies became dangerously close, the accuracy stayed in the 20-25 range.
2-Even when the troops killed zombies, I noticed that there's no prioritization of the targets. Basically, I watched as the zombies came running, while the soldiers shot and killed zombies... that were farthest from them. It would be really great if you could put in something to have them target the zombies closest to them first.
Of course, I can't forget that this game was made over a year ago, so any of these could already be done in a possible sequel or something. Overall, though, it was pretty fun!
Good... and bad
This is a good attempt at a strategy-based zombie game. It's descent, but a LOT could have been improved upon.
The Good
- Battle commands make you feel like a real commander
- The enemy AI isn't completely retarded in this game
The Bad
- The accuracy of your troops is really unrealistic; they act like they aren't even aiming
- The vehicles take WAY too long to appear on the field, even the truck (first vehicle) seems to take forever, and even after they appear, the battle's almost won anyway
The WTF?
- When the soldiers are getting mobbed and they run like pansies... for the MILLIONTH time!
- When the Goliath (?) fights and it says at the botton 'ANIHILATING' (or something to that effect), it makes you laugh at the poor, poor zombies who are about to be blown to bits
All in all, a descent game. I wish the soldiers would follow my damn orders though. If I give you the order to die you better throw yourself in front of a tank...
