![]() ![]() The controls don't feel quite as masterful as a game like god of War or Devil May Cry, yet the controls are still well done. The visuals from attacks and hitting zombies are amusing and well done as well as the zombies and environments themselves. No slow-down was encountered and things played fluidly. I've seen better but the graphics are nothing to sneeze at. It provides a source of amusement and character that adds to the game. The story doesn't really take itself serious and yet it provides more than the "oh here are enemies to kill". They poke fun at other movies and themselves as well. They embrace the cheesey and non-nonsensical nature. A weekend play could easily beat it, or a dedicated day for those with more time. Outside of the profane language used the only possible flaw I see is that the game is rather short. Somehow it ties this all up in it's satisfying rainbow sparkle package. They also throw in a fair amount of mini games to break things up. It combines the fun of mass zombie slaying, quirky stylish rainbow/sparkle effects complimenting the dismemberment, numerous references ranging from Monty Python to bands to zombie movies to internet, a fair bit of humor, a good bit of profanity and profane lines, a small amount of fan service, and a quite workable and fun combat system. If you are easily offended by "bad" words, turn back now. The soundtrack is also quite good so enjoy that also. If you are not expecting a whole lot you wont be disappointed. I do recommend this game but wait until the price drops or buy it and then flip it on an auction site or here on Amazon. It is not that hard once you get used to the game. You need to learn combos for maximum points to beat Dad's score in ranked mode. You will be really upset if you get 43 minutes in and then die. I do not recommend starting ranked mode until you are comfortable with the controls/game for this reason. Use your health (lollipops) and sparkle wisely and sparingly. In ranked mode you must complete the entire chapter without getting killed or you need to start from the beginning of the chapter. Story is OK even though I really didn't pay much attention. It is light hearted, college fun that occupies your time for 10+ hours. I am pretty sure you will enjoy this if you arent expecting a top notch game like Uncharted. After many tries it was simple once I figured that part out. When it came to the part that splits left and right I stopped, lined up with the coins on the lower level right and bam.one try got everything safely and avoided the falling building. It is not that hard once you figure out a plan. One other trophy which at first was a pain was Go Medal Racer. During gameplay, try to be sure and hit all the correct buttons in the QTEs for collectible wrappers and extra gold coins. The game is broken up with mini games which is just fill but mostly still enjoyable. I did, but then sold it and it wound out costing me around $11. I would be a little peeved if i payed over $30. In my opinion this is certainly not a $60 game. I didn't figure that out till the second play through so I had to do all the ranked chapters again. I had to do it a few more times because when gathering up trophies and collectibles after the initial play through, I should have played on ranked mode. It takes at least two play throughs (or chapter selects) to platinum. I would rate this game around a 7 or so because it is fun. The game made me laugh out loud at a few points with the silly college humor. It is not gross or demeaning it is in the realm of a college party movie like Animal House or Porky's. There are panty peeks the entire game with one trophy being look up Juliet's skirt. There are lots of sexual innuendos and Juliet is quite provocatively dressed.especially if you upgrade all costumes (seashell bikini). This game is rated mature 17 for a reason.Definitely not for kids (even though they probably already heard it all). One boss (Zed, I think) took like five times to hurt, then another four of 5 times to finish. The bosses are not difficult at all but this game goes beyond the three time boss fight to win. Later in the game I mostly used the butt/body bounce to weaken the enenmy then a quick slash to finish off the zombie. ![]() The gameplay is redundant and I found myself using the same combo for 90% of the game. However, when you get it you are totally pumped with excitement. I hate trophies that are based on pure luck. The No Fear Of Heights trophy is a pain in the ass and took me around 50 tries but I finally got it. It is certainly not a great game but it is a fun game for a 10 or so hour ride to get a platinum trophy. ![]()
