Plus, the teamplay benefit is well enforced- the zombies come from everywhere, even with the biggest weapon in the game a sole player is overwhelmed. The graphics are awesome for an online-built game. The Z-tiem function is probably one of the coolest things I've seen in an online shooter. Full marks, I have no qualms with this fantastically British zombie shooter.… Expand

Definitely a must buy.… Expand

    Now Im not usually one to enjoy a game just because it's fun, as I am an eye candy junkie and a "good story renders good game" kind of person, But for killing floor I have to make an exception. It is absolutely THE most fun and replayable game I may have ever played. Where Left 4 Dead lacked in challenge and just pure grittiness, here it is, in a convinient $20 price tag. weapons are Now Im not usually one to enjoy a game just because it's fun, as I am an eye candy junkie and a "good story renders good game" kind of person, But for killing floor I have to make an exception. It is absolutely THE most fun and replayable game I may have ever played. Where Left 4 Dead lacked in challenge and just pure grittiness, here it is, in a convinient $20 price tag. weapons are hella fun to use (shotgun packs a blow never before seen in a video game) Classes are fun to level, but in the end you'll find the support class the obvious choice for a standalone defense agianst the specimens. Although, the game focuses on cooperation and therefore a variety of classes IS important. For instance, the firebug class is great for cooperation as he can efficiently weild a flamethrower which greatly weakens and suppresses enemies to be picked off, and also rarely requires a reload. Gibbing heads off of specimens with a chainsaw as your teamates pick off enemies behind you by rifle is also a great blast. Overall what really saves the replay value of this game is fast paced rounds, numerous custom maps (as there is currently a very devoted community) And most importantly a true challenge for players who choose hard or scuicidal difficulty, making the numerous achievements very hard, but rewarding to attain. Even on normal the game is quite hard becase of the final boss each round (aka PATRIARCH) which is VERY,VERY HARD to kill and requires heavy teamwork and quick planning (which you have only 30 secs. to a minute to do so) In my opinion He should be one of the hardest bosses of all time, considering how often he wipes out a trained 6 player team no sweat. Overall, a MUST buy for all gamers looking for a gritty, challenging coop "zombie" shooter.… Expand

    I rated this game for two reasons.
    1) I'm here, why not.
    2) It's score is far too low for a brilliant game such as this. Fun cannot be any more brutal than this, and I would prefer this to Left4Dead anyday, seeing as though it is cheaper and more enjoyable.

    Who doesnt like a zombie killing game? and you can make your own levels and increase the player count? as well as what zombies spawn? not even close the the 71 it got... although the last update with the weapons kinda changed the game to be more easy. Still this game should be in the eighty's.

If you're more concerned with how well wet rocks reflect light than blasting that monster gnawing on your arm, then the game isn't for you. There's a ton of servers even after you put on plenty of filters, so there's never a worry about not finding a server to play on, the only downfall is that you never know what wave the server is on; joining matches where they're a round from the final boss or already killing it happens way too often. Overall, I give this game a 10/10 simply because the ratio of the hours I've played verses money I spent exceeds 10; in fact, it exceeds 20. eat that L4D.… Expand

    I normally never bother writing reviews for games on sites like this. But I felt that some things had to be said. Don't listen to the idiotic critics.

In the past... almost half a year since this game released, I have put hundreds of hours into it. Literally around 10x the length of time that L4D held my interest. It is really fun, the guns handle much better (there's ironsights!) and there are much more of them, more enemy types, TONS of user created maps, and, best of all, the game is challenging on the higher difficulties without being cheap about it like L4D is. If you're a skilled player you can survive on your own in most situations, instead of getting pinned down by a hunter/smoker the second your other team mates die. It's $20, just buy it and play it for a few days and judge for yourself.… Expand

Killing Floor is to UT what Counterstrike is to Source. A Raw mod with a few maps and a lot of potential, and that potential is very quickly being realized by its community, with 32 Community made maps in its first 9 days, Killing Floor looks set to have as illustrious a life as the engine its based off. I lost more hours of my life to UT2004 than I care to remember, and Killing Floor is becoming an equal obsession. besides, nothing quite beats the feel of fighting an epic boss on a 100 man server who has more hit points than god... and actually taking him down.

    Killing Floor is a zombie game that lacks brain and own ideas. In the main part it's simply a Left 4 Dead clone with boring maps and graphics. But Killing Floor's emphasis on tactical gameplay, the solid coop mode and the cheap prize make the game worth a look.

    Tripwire Interactives Killing Floor is what you would expect of a polished mod, but doesn't exceed expectations as a retail game. It's good, but unfortunately far from perfect. A nice addition to the survival-horror genre though, and it has an attractively cheap price tag.
