Played this co-op with the kids about a week ago and we had fun, but...so much swearing. I felt a little embarrassed but, to be fair, that's my own fault. I don't think I've seen the movie the game is based on and I know feel a little obliged to watch it with the kids just to contextualize the game a bit better? To be honest, I'm also a bit curious about the movie as well because of some of the game's levels we played - specifically one where you meet an old lady, protect her from attacking zombies (how is she still alive?). She then decides she wants to go visit "joe" (a friend, I forget the name) who's having a cookout. It turns out "joe" is actually a zombie boss and it's all a massive fight. I don't remember what happened to the old lady... As for the game - we had fun, but weren't terribly impressed. It's a twin-stick shooter, you find weapons from crates/backs of cars, equip them and then go... Weapons have ammo/use limits (even the melee weapons you can find) and there are also grenades, firebombs, and more. Fortunately there's no friendly fire (I think? perhaps we're just really careful...?) I got really excited when I picked up a mini-gun but it was a huge disappointment - it takes too long to "spin up" by which time my co-op partners have killed almost everyone! We had a similar experience with environmental hazards you can switch on to help kill zombies - they're interesting in principle but hard to use effectively and, in fact, some can also injure friendlies. |
