    The game's a bit short and doesn't provide much beyond the visceral glee of running over craploads of people who actually have it coming, but that's probably more than enough for the lean, $10 price tag.

    Beyond being needlessly repetitive, there are some issues with the presentation that make Zombie Driver feel a bit unfinished or, at least, untested.

    Zombie Driver isn't a bad game, but given the number of similar games on the market, there isn't really much to recommend it.

    Pretty funny...for the first hour or so. Then it keeps repeating itself, until you wish you could go back to the good old Carmageddon days. Just for zombie maniacs.

    Ultimately, this is what you need to know: for ten bucks, you can buy the videogame equivalent of a bag of Cheetos and a porno mag, except the Cheetos are zombies and the naked people are driving cars with flamethrowers attached to them.

    Nice visuals, easy playability and boring after while... if you remember the old times when Carmageddon hit the streets you won’t be disappointed. [Issue#187]

    Zombie Driver is simply a dull, unpalatable game.

    The lifeless Zombie Driver fails at being even mindless fun—these zombies should’ve stayed in the grave.

The missions in Story mode are usually slight variations of the same thing. Slaughter (a.k.a. Survival mode) isn't much better and the camera is often proves to be not your friend. Most of the weapons are either Awesome but Impractical or are just plain useless. What's amazing is that the game lacks any kind of a Free Roam mode, despite the game is clearly built for one. Even though my system is above the recommended specs, the game just crawls. It almost feels like the game isn't that well optimized.

    Not worth even the $10 price tag. Or $2.50. Or anything really.    … Full Review »

Nothing changed after all these years. Killing zombies with your car is always fun! The only flaw of this game would be the repetitive gameplay, but I quite enjoy it. What's to hate here? Everything is fine. Pick up this game if you're angry, that your son doesn't know what's 2+2... it will make your bad emotions disappear. Pickens approves!… Full Review »
