    Throw down the money and come enjoy the world that was brought to us in the movie. You won’t see Brad Pitt in the game, but you will have one heck of a time either way.

    A capable coop shooter with a lot of potential and amazing swarm mechanics.

    Is World War Z as good as Left 4 Dead? No. Is it fun despite that? Yes. There's few pleasures in gaming that can compare to swinging a thrumming chainsaw blade through a horde of ravenous undead, and World War Z delivers. And really, it's not like Valve makes games anymore.

    World War Z is a decent Koop-Survival-Shooter, which compensates for its lack of innovation with a lack of major flaws.

    Overall, World War Z provides a decent co-op zombie experience, despite some drawbacks. The weapons lack oomph, even when powered up, but they are still decent. The class system doesn't make anyone feel too different, but much like the weapons, there aren't any terrible classes. The locale changes are nice (even if the level beats remain similar), and the inclusion of standard adversarial multiplayer modes is also welcome. It's in real need of polish as far as matchmaking basics go, but it will satisfy those who have been waiting a long time for another co-op, zombie-killing experience.

    While we wait for Left 4 Dead to come back from the dead, World War Z is not a bad option, but it isn’t as good as that series. If you like killing zombies with friends you’ll have a great time, although the game has a fair amount of shortcomings.

    If World War Z proves one thing, then how exceptionally good Left 4 Dead was more than 10 years ago. It tries to emulate the formula but in the end fails to replicate the good times.

    How can anyone give anything less than a 10 for this game? I know, be a Left 4 Dead FANBOY and get salty that its not Left 4 Dead 3. SeriouslyHow can anyone give anything less than a 10 for this game? I know, be a Left 4 Dead FANBOY and get salty that its not Left 4 Dead 3. Seriously look at the 0 comments, 9/10 are mentioning that it's not Left 4 Dead 3, or its a Left 4 Dead rip off, or it brings nothing new to the table that Left 4 Dead didn't. DO NOT LET BIASED OPINIONS steer you from playing a NEW GOOD GAME that does bring A LOT of new mechanics into the zombie world. I love this game and the sheer panic induced fighting when 500 zombies are spilling over a wall trying to get you and your team. AMAZING, please keep up the great work developers. I can't wait for new content to be released after you guys bring it to the switch!!! FINALLY A NEW AWESOME ZOMBIE GAME!!! HECK YEAH!!… Expand

    It looks nice and would be quite good if not for the fact that the companion AI is abysmal (I like to play solo with bots). This is enhancedIt looks nice and would be quite good if not for the fact that the companion AI is abysmal (I like to play solo with bots). This is enhanced by the fact that many missions have you defend places but the AI is terrible at protecting stuff so you end up losing missions instantly because you failed to defend some point that you have to defend yourself while the AI don't care (these instant mission fails is also a serious design flaw in terms of being really annoying in itself to just lose in that way)… Expand

Es una inspiración CLARA de Left 4 Dead, con elementos de juegos como el The Division, pero que nunca llega a llenar. Todo se siente de demasiada baja producción pero mal ejecutada. Los personajes no tienen alma alguna, las animaciones y controles dejan mucho que desear, la dificultad es de risa y los enemigos son calcos del Left 4 Dead, ni siquiera hay un intento de separarse de esa franquicia. Luego, es todo lo mismo: Seguir, matar zombies, seguir, etc. En ningún momento el juego explota y al final termina aburriéndote rápido y dejándote con más ganas de ir a jugar al Left 4 Dead 2 que de volver a jugar algo a este juego.
    Ahora entiendo por qué lo estuvieron dando gratis. Bien mediocre y olvidable.

Same zombies same stupid AI same almost same special zombies. The onliest thing is that it has improved graphics. If you like these kind of games i suggest play the original game, left 4 dead 2.

    The guns are nice but too op. Like left 4 dead you can almost not die by the default zombied. Really not worth the price tag.    … Expand
