Decent
The aiming was weird, and I encountered a glitch where my character locked up and wouldnt move in the middle of one of the waves. other than that, decent.
Reviews for "Days 2 Die-The Other Side"
....It's okay I guess.
Meh, it's okay, but it's too much like all the other zombie-related games on NG. But at least it looks like you put some effort in to this game, unlike most zombie flash games I've seen.
Pretty cool follow up
A nice prologue to the 1st game. Story was smooth and had a nice flow to the game that the first game didn't have. As for gameplay, it changes up a bit now that we don't have barricades (story mode) on and we can run, jump, skip and frolic all over the place whilst being attacked on both sides which got a bit annoying at times. Giant bat moves a lil buggy like he freezes at certain spots and hangs upside down suspended until you empty your arsenal on him. All in all it was a 'neat' game. Doesn't have anything outstanding or memorable to its name though.
A great system limited by the short length...
**SOME SPOILERS
It features a complex point and stat system, featuring a wide variety of handguns, shotguns, smgs, historical rifles, assault rifles, grenade launchers, sniper rifles, explosives and a number of hand weapons... All of which go wildly unused in the intensely short length. You even feature a premium equipment system through accounts for special weapons... Yet the game is like, what? 25 minutes long? You'll rarely invest in more than 2 additional weapons... and really, you don't need to invest in anything at all because the game gives you a great smg right at the beginning. And forget the mercenaries, you can't afford them.
I don't mind short-sweet games, but this game doesn't look like its length was intentional. The writing felt rushed, the protagonist, who I was supposed to feel bad for for the seperation of his sister, was a cold completely unlikable character. The most well-developed character in the game is the merchant, and he was only interesting in a stereotypically-mysterious-RE4merchan t sort of way... Each character's lines were poorly written and like 1 line long, the cutscenes weren't spectacular and the voice-acting was poor. The characters don't even sound kind of into it. The story and dialogue flows like one big B-rated horror movie.
The art in general was not great. The unserious cartoony feel of the game kills the spooky-horror mood that you were so obviously shooting for, and is an eyesore to stare at in general.
The problem, besides the length, is the complete unoriginality of it all... I mean come one... You're a cop (Chris?) trying to find your sister (Claire?) when the zombie outbreak breaks out and the police are overwhelmed (Resident evil 2?). You split up with your partner (Any horror movie?) and stumble upon a mysterious stranger who sells you guns (RE4 merchant ?). You jump in a get-away vehicle and from the roof shoot at a giant humanoid bat (jeeper-creepers?) until it flips your vehicle over (conviniently, right at the place of your house), you come to a defenseless, lone survivor (Sherry/Ashley/Any unarmed female from Resident evil?) who's looking for her family and might know where your sister is if you can find her family. You bring the family to the docks, but in a rush of panic, the boat leaves without you (Oh, I didn't see THAT coming). You fight a giant-armed humanoid that throws rocks (L4D tank?), become overwhelmed, and your character blows himself and a large group of zombies up by blowing up a gas tank (Dawn of the Dead?). There is nothing original about the storyline... I guess that's not necessarily a game-killer, but when combined with all the other negativity about the game, and when the already unoriginal storyline isn't even well executed, it's gonna kill what little ingenuity the game had.
All that being said... It was actually kind of fun. You solved a LOT of the problems that were in Days 2 Die 1, there were no debilitating glitches (Sponsors webpage popping up -_-), and despite the length and quality this game left me wondering, "What's going to happen next?!" at every turn (even if what happened next was totally B-rated...)
Oh, and I had trouble finding the car and gas, and from the other reviews, I can tell I'm not the only one. For such a short, linear game, there sure is alot of backtracking...
awesome games
loved the first one, anticipated the second
this version seems smoother than the original
also new features and the animation looks generally improved
better story transition
still a few bugs with freezing
cool weapons
not as easy as the first one
the voicing could be better though
