Play MagazineThere's a lot to be said about plowing through town with a zombie horde, biting brains. [Dec 2005, p.59]
-
Watching our zombie army do our brain-eating dirty work for us was a gaming moment we won't soon forget.
-
To give the visual style greater impact Stubbs the Zombie features the best soundtrack this year.
-
Computer Gaming WorldGood, but we crave more. MORE BRAINS! [Feb 2006, p.78]
-
Eating the brains of the living to form a massive army of the undead is extremely satisfying, often hilarious, and, unfortunately, almost painfully brief.
-
PC GamerIf your idea of a rousing good time is cracking open skulls like chestnuts to feast on the goo inside, you'll have plenty of fun with this one. [Feb 2006, p.86]
-
Probably the best soundtrack ever produced for a game.
-
It's a game that is great to pick up at any time of the day, eat a few brains, and then move on to something else.
-
Although Stubbs the Zombie stands as a pleasing deviation from today's genre standards, it still doesn't have enough to engulf players in the long run.
-
It's a brief ride and the action can become repetitive, but the sharp humour keeps you smiling.
-
Stubbs might be left craving a few more brains and he might have wished that he could have done a little bit more than just feast and fart, but I think that by the time Punchbowl and love have been conquered, Stubbs is reasonably satisfied with the second chance he was given for life and love.
-
It’s repetitive and lacks any kind of real long lasting game play. This is more of a game to play to pass a bit of time.
-
In essence, the game mechanics are as rough as a butcher's dog, yet it remains a game that will make you smile, and one that you'll finish - not least because it's so damn short.
-
Edge MagazineWideload has placed a welcome knee in the groin of the status quo, but by taking its subject too lightly it’s also failed to turn an adventurous prototype into a durable production. [Christmas 2005, p.102]
-
Computer Games MagazineWhile most games have you fighting zombies, this one puts you squarely in the rotting feet of one Edward Stubblefield, who one day finds himself slightly undead. [Mar 2006, p.53]
-
AceGamezComparisons with one of the few other truly anti-hero games, "Destroy All Humans," are warranted - but sadly if you do that, you'll find Stubbs coming up short on pretty much every count.
-
PC FormatGreat premise, but as fun to spend spend time with as a freshly exhumed corpse. [Mar 2006, p.102]
