![]() The levels are reasonably varied, and while most of them focus on slaughter they swap and change their objectives to keep things fresh. Throw in an interesting multiplayer mode that sees you betting in-game cash that your friends and rivals can't beat your scores and you're left with a game that's stuffed to bursting with chunky content. Or you can spend some real life cash on one of the game's three currencies in order to buy them all instead. Collect enough reels and you unlock the next level. There are challenges attached to each of the levels, and these give you reels. Half of them tell you how much currency you've got, while the other half give you information about the level you're trying to complete. The rest of the UI is cluttered with a variety of different numbers, buttons, and clocks counting down. It's a well-implemented, comfortable system, and leads to plenty of satisfying carnage. You move your erstwhile stuntman around with the left stick, and fire with the right. California has been taken over by flesh munchers, and you're essentially the star of a series of zombie action thrillers who's given tasks to complete by a hack director.Īlmost all of them involve shooting, which is good, because the game is a twin-stick, top-down shooter. You play as a rectangular jawed stuntman with a penchant for trucker hats and a taste for extreme, daring violence. It's polished, it's entertaining, it's a game about shooting zombies, and in a way it brings to light the very best and the very worst of Gameloft's vices and virtues. There's nothing strictly wrong with their approach, and it's a strategy that's made the company rich, but just once it'd be nice to see the clearly talented developers try something new.Īlas, Zombiewood isn't that first step into a bold new world that some of us have been longing for. What's lacking is originality - that spicy taste of something new that makes you sit up and take notice. There's no denying that Gameloft's titles are always of the highest quality - you only have to look at the N.O.V.A or Modern Combat series to see that their products are shot through with triple-A production values.
