    World War Z has no challenge, or tensions, or conflict; and a game with a horror setting but nothing horrifying is just horrifyingly boring. It’s fine on a technical basis, though.

    World War Z has some moments that are an utter blast – the special zombie types and impending doom of a zombie tower bring pure excitement. However, these moments are few and far between, leaving a shell of game with very little content, a lack of creativity, a near non-existent story, and a disappointingly shallow progression system.

    This is a game, though, that is so explicitly geared towards mayhem it awards you a trophy for getting through a mission without accidentally shooting a team member in the butt. World War Z doesn't take itself too seriously, and I appreciate that.

    When it's not broken, this Left 4 Dead ripoff is actually quite fun and features giant piles of zombies to mow down in a satisfying way. Unfortunately it's broken a LOT.

    Very good game. Basically Left4Dead3. The hordes of zombies are really impressive.

Its basically Left 4 Dead with 4 different scenarios that have 3 parts to complete each. Runs well and looks pretty good. Does need more content, but then again Left 4 Dead charged $60 bucks for around the same amount of content or less, but this is only $40....Fun as hell with friends and is clearly meant to be played multiple times....… Full Review »
