    Non-polished game.

    Has potential, but no private lobbies and many random crashes really ruin the experience.

    This game is cheap and fun, this game is like the movie but i wish the main character in the movie was in the game, I would love that. Also I pre-ordered it and enjoying the co-op

    Ever since L4D came out on Xbox 360, Sony fans have been dying for something that could bring that experience to their console. This is the best you will get to that experience. You may some reviews complain about lack of story, but L4D was the exact same. Basically you have the scenario of "Zombies are everywhere! Survive and get out of there!". Honestly, do you need anything moreEver since L4D came out on Xbox 360, Sony fans have been dying for something that could bring that experience to their console. This is the best you will get to that experience. You may some reviews complain about lack of story, but L4D was the exact same. Basically you have the scenario of "Zombies are everywhere! Survive and get out of there!". Honestly, do you need anything more from every zombie game? Not all experiences need a drawn out story. Even make your own story from your experience. Make it a fun, silly, scary, gory adventure that will make you enjoy your little escape. Sometimes you just need a fun little adrenaline rush, and this game will deliver.

    The fact that there is a character and weapon progression system makes it even more fun. Plus if you are someone that wants to experience the game as how L4D was then you don't have to acquire any new skills and weapons and you have the freedom to play it as is. You have the freedom to make the game how you would like to play it.

    For the price I feel the game has enough content for the money you put down. L4D was $60 when it was released, and you got about the same amount of content. Now this game is only $40 and not only do you get the same basic content, but you get improved graphics and a progression system.

    If you are just looking for a fun zombie game to play alone or with some friends, and you are just wanting to jump into the action and cause some chaos then I would recommend you check this out. If you need a zombie game that has more story to it, then pick up Resident Evil 2. Both are good choices! Be optimistic, have fun, and game on.    … Expand

    Insane festival of a dead army disintegration. Playable alone but damn funny with friends, especially if you love l4d

    Very entertaining video game. For $ 40 it is very worthwhile and more if you are going to play the game with friends because in that case the fun multiplies.

    Awesome game. Fulfills my L4D desires perfectly. PvP is fun once you get bored of killing zombies (which you wont) and a developer on twitter already confirmed they're working on a horde mode, Tokyo map, and more modes/maps to come in the future. Definitely worth the $40.

    There have been many games trying to revive the Left for Dead franchise and I think this is the closest someone has come.

    Fun and nice quality with an appropriate price. shame some people rush the co-op and I had some lagg. But the lag and bugs are pretty rare.
    beautiful and unique zombie game and the multiplayer pvp is tons of fun as well, I love the way zombies are thrown into it as well.

    It reminds me of Left 4 Dead but with character progression, weapon leveling and adding russian and asian characters, which is always nice

    Great game. Killing zombies is a very rewarding feeling, and the dismemberment system is great!

    Not enough content for a £35 game. It feels like a good Indie game at best. Graphics are nothing special, the AI when playing solo is shocking. People comparing it to L4D are right but L4D was released 2008 and WWZ looks and plays like a game from that time period. Its worth £15 not £35.

    Take the gameplay and structure of Left 4 Dead (switched to third person), throw in the class progression of Killing Floor 2, slap on the World War Z license and have a blast! You took too long Valve, somebody made Left 4 Dead 3 for ya!

    If Left 4 Dead, Days Gone and the movie World War Z had a baby this would be it.
    Everything is great about this game the story is very well done with moments that really makes you feel like you are inside a World War Z movie but the characters are your typical PC generic cast so you won't be playing as Brad Pit.
    The gameplay is really fun but the shooting could be better and more    If Left 4 Dead, Days Gone and the movie World War Z had a baby this would be it.

    The gameplay is really fun but the shooting could be better and more responsive but it might be hard to make all the NPC react well when they need to put hundreds on screen at once. You can blow the heads of the zombies though.

    The graphics are good but there is a big lack of color and the effects are not impressive.

    For what this game is though it's the best the devs could have done, if anything you can look at it like the MP version of Days Gone but it also works great as a singleplayer game so 10/10.    … Expand

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

    Not too bad of a game. 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....

    I didn’t expect much out of World War Z as a licensed title, but Saber Interactive has done a great job adapting the IP’s globe-spanning scope and massive hordes of zombies while bolstering it with inspiration from a past classic. I’m not sure that I’d recommend it for players who insist on playing alone, but for those who have at least one friend or those who don’t mind recruiting some randos, it’s a great way to kill a million zombies over a weekend.

    Reasonably priced but with only glimmers of personality. A fairly standard selection of multiplayer modes are livened up by the horde and generally a lot more fun than a lacking story campaign. [IssueE163, p.60]

    It might not too unbearable when you play with your close friends and you guys coop perfectly. But in general, this game is even much more boring than the zombie's daily life.
