    Not a very good game - a bit buggy - seems like DX8 graphics - controls feel a tad unresponsive - sound is funny (at first) Would be ok for a tenner - but for £30 - not a chance.

    Purchased this while on sale for $5. It's not even worth that. Some parts of the game will have you literally trying to melee a man flying around on a jetpack. The levels are about as bad as you can get. With a area with say twenty rooms only having about 3-5 unique rooms that are repeated over and over.

Some parts of the game will have you literally trying to melee a man flying around on a jetpack. The levels are about as bad as you can get. With a area with say twenty rooms only having about 3-5 unique rooms that are repeated over and over. Each area will have maybe the same amount of unique enemies, most of them being extremely easy to kill or incredibly hard. There's really no story line at all, and what little there is just killing a handful of "important" characters. The game is very dated and although it's based on the Halo engine, it actually manages to look older. There's a lot of missing features such as changing keybinds in-game, and no real save feature beyond latest checkpoint. Really though I just want my time back.… Expand

    To give the visual style greater impact Stubbs the Zombie features the best soundtrack this year.

    There's a lot to be said about plowing through town with a zombie horde, biting brains. [Dec 2005, p.59]

    Wideload 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]
