Dec 21, 2012Don't purchase this game,this game is terrible they did so many lies to this game the devs yesterday i got my money back from Steam
Notice:IF YOU did buy the title(game)on steam request a refund just by having a support ticket and this is the fun part:you must wait until Valve will see that
I Recommend to buy Arma II:Combined Ops and download the mod "DayZ" -
Dec 21, 2012Game is bad and everyone who made it must feel bad and everyone who advertised it must feel bad and everyone who is a fan must feel bad and most importantly PR manager must feel bad!

Dec 21, 2012Poorly made ripoff of the ARMA2 mod DayZ. This game promises a lot but delivers none of it. The developers claim to be working on this game for 2 years but it feels like they have just cobbled together a product and are using the 'alpha' label to ignore the fact that its a BAD game.
I don't know what would turn this game around, the current state of the game is a train wreck. -
Dec 21, 2012Horrible game, there are way better choices than this on the market. Do your self a favour and invest a little extra in getting arma II combined ops, and get dayz.

Dec 20, 2012As much as i wish to play good,bugless zombie survival game i must give this game a 0 for failing hard...total ripoff dayz to make fast money on its success,its looking more and more like lots of 15 min games made to score money on someones success.

Dec 20, 2012This game is a game developed in 5 months and is a piece of trash. DO NOT BUY IT. Just wait for the DayZ Standalone to come out, which this game actually completely ripped off. Bad textures, bad gameplay, hackers, etc.

Dec 20, 2012What do you get when you mix a f2p fps engine with an uncreative dev team? ****

Dec 20, 2012Blatant false advertising and business practices that are shonky even by Zynga's standards! This game is a straight up SCAM which is designed to STEAL your money from you

Dec 20, 2012i want to like this game i really do, but the fact that the company that makes it keeps dragging their heels promising content that should have been implemented months ago, and postponing content that should have taken priority.... it's horrible. it seems like the people at Arktos Entertainment need to sort their issues out, and get working.
-
Dec 20, 2012This isn't so much a game as a list of features that don't exist in the final product. To call The War Z a scam would be generous. Stay as far away as possible.
-
Dec 20, 2012Rushed game, animations are horrible, the sound of guns and environment are horrible and buggy. Zombies' AI is horribly bad. Nobody should purchase this game..
-
Dec 20, 2012Shockingly bad, avoid.
For the game itself, it is riddled with hackers, glitches, bugs. Combine that with poor graphics and animation and the fact that it runs so badly, there is really nothing positive to say about it. -

Dec 20, 2012Not worth anyones time. Do NOT get this game, even when/if it is released. The animations are sketchy, players are dicks, and most of all... you can't last more than 3 hours in this game.
Do not buy this. This dev team is despite for money and using microtransactions in the game -
Dec 20, 2012Purchased this game after Oct 31, 2012. As they stated they will be in the beta stage of the game. Game has absolutely no hope - they accepted purchases before the game was even alpha stage. Rushed the game - garbage game - don't you dare buy it. This game has no hope it's a scam and a money grabber due to the success of Day Z....

Dec 20, 2012This game is a bait and switch, where the customer is the mark. Hammerpoint sells their games as if it was a feature-complete game, while it is, for all practical purposes, in alpha-stage. That is quite apart from the blatant lies in the marketing (still present on the WarZ homepage, nevermind the Steam store page) and the ludicrous claim that it is an "MMO".
-
Dec 20, 2012The Developers are liars, the game is buggy, some textures are worst i have ever seen. Most important it's so **** boring - walking slowly through endless **** being killed by overpowered zombies and invisible players, etc. I just want my money back!

PC PowerPlayMar 7, 2013Its mechanical foundation - like this Foundation Release - crumbles at the lightest touch. [March 2013, p.94]

Feb 22, 2013The War Z has about as much value as its crappy in-game melee weaponry and that’s not much at all. At least it doesn’t cost anything to play after you buy it, and the cash shop items are fair enough, so you won’t see people running around with machine guns just because they spent money. If you’re going to give your money to a zombie-survival game, grab ArmA II and a copy of the DayZ mod, or wait for the full retail version of DayZ to arrive on digital store shelves and check that out. Do not buy into The War Z.

Feb 5, 2013The War Z might use the same elements that make DayZ an enthralling experience. But it puts them together so halfheartedly that you have to turn away in disbelief.
