Only played single player so far... but the game is awesome.
It gets pretty tense when zombies start pouring in from all angles and your trying to reload,
I like the strategy involved with the cars and flares, trying to take out big groups of zombies.
Throw flare towards car, blow up car.
Also UK is coming for Canada!

Just realized Housemarque fucked up on the numbering of their Genocidist trophy. They have 53,596... but so does Dead Rising 2, which came out before this. Fail. You guys had a few months to change one number.. tsk tsk!

wow, I have been playing nonstop since I downloaded it about six hours ago. My head's all dizzy now. Anyway I like it a lot. Don't know what the reviewers about with the "it's to dark" I just upped the gamma and when the lights go out, you are supposed to find a spot with light which adds to the strategy.

DLC no doubt.see5harp said:
I just wasted the last 40-50 minutes because I got stuck in the environment. :/ It turns out the end of the level was less than 20 feet away. I'm pretty pissed I had to replay the entire level because of some stupid glitch. I couldn't commit suicide (no nades) there is no restart at the last checkpoint option. So, I had to quit.
Another issue I have with this game is zombie spawn points (kinda cheap, may possibly lead to cheap deaths). Other than that I'm enjoying the game. Not as much as I expected, but it's still worth the 15 bucks.

What the fuck!!!!! I just got stuck too!!!!! I'm so far into level 4 with the building rooftops!!! Fuck man spent like 30 min on this level already and I get stuck on what appear a set up stairs that go down. I'm rear a crashed plane on fire!anddo0 said:
This is why I wish these game had a gimped jump button incase you get stuck on weird ass places. About to quit and lose my multiplier, gametime and progress.
Fuck this game.
I just did 4 coop online missions and it was a complete blast! Zero lag and by the end of it I had a sore right index finger from all the shooting... :lol At the beginning I had some trouble discerning my character on the screen in more action packed situations but somehow it became more easy the more I played. I just hope that I can start from the same spot whenever I get to play the game again.
Im addicted to this game. Had to take a break at level seven cause i was too tense, that damn multiplier from hell. This is so far one of my GOTY, truly awesome how balanced it is. I'd give it a 9.5 only cause some zombies seem to get stuck on you and no voice chat. It's like the perfect arcade game for me, thumbs up housemarque
BTW i don't get the no variety complaint, you have streets, parks, rooftops, cemeteries and who knows what else.

Honestly, the gear besides your speed doesn't seem to offer much at the higher difficulties. The only thing that seems to change from Normal to Grim is that certain enemies take far more bullets. I restarted and yes, the shotty IS worthless at the start. Once you start using the flares and you get your Shotty to around halfway in power and rate of fire, it is almost required use for the middle levels on Grim.
Eh, I was upgrading the SMG after maxing the default assault rifle. The shotgun is good? I thought it was kinda shitty. And I haven't bought a flame thrower.
Mines are godly, however. I need to get the detonations to 6 and then pathfind the zombies to their doom.

The shotty is beast once you get it maxed. It's more useful than the SMG in the later levels if you are using flares. The fat cops, the swat guys, and a few other enemy types go down in a shot up close. The rifle is the most used gun, overall, so it is the best gun to max out early.
this game is righteous
it succeeds at making the act of killing zombies satisfying, which is important, but it also succeeds at being an awesome top down shooter where you can get in the zone/ a trance state when shit gets intense. The horde is rushing but you're weaving in and out, torching geeks, setting off alarms and exploding vehicles, gunning down the stragglers...it's a fuckin hoot. It helps that shit gets intense very often, several missions in it's very challenging even on normal. I'm loving it and I still haven't even tried co-op yet.
my one objection is that I wish the weapon and armor upgrades would be deeper and persistent so you would have to do multiple playthroughs and/or play online a lot to fully upgrade everything. Taking the time to max out your dude would add a lot of longevity to the game, but I still get why they did it the way they did.

I've played through about a level and a half with a friend so far on the difficulty one step above the default, and it's pretty fun. But, it is surprisingly hard. Not a bad thing, but just thinking that there are 2 other harder difficulties for this kind of game just sounds a little crazy.
I think I need to start over though and invest differently into my upgrades.

Nice! My multiplier was at 998 earlier today and I got all nervous like "holy fuck, I'm about to have a 1k multiplier" and then that knife hand fucker hit me twice and killed me.see5harp said:
Anyway, I beat the game on normal a couple hours ago and I loved every second. I can't wait to play more. This game is better than I expected it to be, and I haven't even tried co-op yet. Honestly though, I kinda wish there was a 3rd person camera option or unlockable. Even if it didn't look as good, I think it would be fun to be in the middle of those crazy ass hordes.

Just ended a nice session with the game. The game is good, but it's not as good as Super Stardust HD. I'm about half-way through the game and the game feels pretty slow. Hopefully armor upgrades will help move the character faster. There's other stuff that bothers me, but I'll try to get better so I can go for the high scores.

it is, that's why it's gotten some high scores as wellthe TMO said:
it's surprising that game reviewers of all people would score a great game low considering that we're exposed to a wide gamut of what is out there (from shovelware to high profile titles), whereas consumers have to choose wisely are less aware of just how good they have it, limiting their exposure with dollars. either way it boils down to taste so vote with yo money cause that's where it counts, not in a review score... Just Dance getting a sequel proves that

Guys see my post on the EU Blog about the lack of voice chat in the online co-op. Everyone here should go there and echo this sentiment. They do listen and these Finnish people are proud people and have pioneered just about every feature known to PSN, But we should make a loud voice, to make sure they pay attention.

Game is really awesome. I was pretty much expecting a much faster paced game... almost like StarDust with Zombies but I think they nailed the atmostphere and gameplay. I don't normally do zombie games (overplayed) but this is really good.
