    Oh for crying out loud....the bulk of these published reviews just flat out stink and miss the point. Glad I picked this up. Fantastic horror-themed WWII sniper / 3rd person shooter game.

    I know Sniper Elite focuses a lot of stealth and tactical game play, which, being a sniper game is what you'd expect. Zombie Army on the other hand requires little based on stealth and lets you go hell bent on killing as many zombies as you can set your eyes on.

    The game play is similar to that of COD Zombies were you have to survive various waves or hordes of zombie onslaught. The zombies come in all wonderful forms to the annoying hard to kill 'Super Elite' zombies which are frustrating hard to kill at times.

    There are nice little additions in the forms of explosives such as grenades, trip mines, land mines, dynamite and various explosive tanks placed around the map.

    Co-op mode is great for playing against either the campaign mode or horde mode with friends, but will require communication and strategic play as zombies spawn from all areas of the map.

    It's nice to see a game that doesn't take itself too seriously, and is essentially exactly what it says on the tin. The music, sound effects, animations and scenery all capture the feel of a grim war torn zombie apocalypse and it's very solid. The music has a retro type 80's feel to it at times and is reminiscent of the low budget exploitation movies around.    … Expand

    The graphics are improved over the original, but not nearly as good as in Sniper Elite 3. But the artwork is amazing, and far more interesting the the boring levels of WW2....
    Mutilated corpses, blood filled walls, dark atmosphere....
    The combat is gruesome, shooting off limbs, X ray headshot... cutting zombies in half... Blood explosion.

    It's a solid fun game in a good package : 3 games in 4 + horde mode + coop

    The only negative point is there is practically no story at all.... would have been nice to have few cutscenes and movie story through the campaign to spice things up.
    And maybe implement few stealth sections.    … Expand

I saw the bad reviews and I thought wait a minute this game is amazing. Sometimes it can be kind of hard because you have zombie snipers shooting at you then regular ground zombies running after you. The best part about this game is you must land a head shot to kill the zombies. Not none of this garbage where if you land a shot anywhere it kills them, no headshots only!! I highly recommend this game to anyone who is looking for a great zombie game. I bought it at 50$ and I thought it was money well spent.… Expand

    The slow motion bullet-time headshot replays never ever ever get old, and the action is furiously frantic especially during the later stages when all-out pandemonium breaks loose. This game is best played with a team of 3 others, but rolling solo is enjoyable nonetheless.

    The 3 campaigns make it a lengthy game overall, and there is non-stop carnage from start to end. My only complaint is that I wish there were more online game modes a la L4D2, but I can't have my cake and eat it too.    … Expand

    What can I say, I love zombies and I LOVE it when a company takes a popular idea and capitalize on it. Zombie Army Trilogy has more of World At War Nazi Zombie feel to it.

Zombies don't really get faster as you go up the wave on Horde mode but they do get more difficult with different variations of zombies coming at you. There is A LOT of content in this game. The story mode alone have basically 15 levels of 4 player Co-Op fun with excellent 70's exploitation music in the background. 5 additional HORDE mode maps and you've got yourself hours and hours of zombie killing fun with your buddies.

    This game is on SALE for PlayStation Plus members (When it was released - March 3rd 2015), so there's even more incentive to pick it up.

    I highly recommend it, specially if you enjoy Zombie modes in Call of Duty games. Sniping zombies from far has its own satisfaction. Aiming can get tough cause you are sniping heads, cause many times if you don't, they rise back up.

    Also like that there are 8 characters to choose from (4 male / 4 female). No perks or anything like COD in here but as I mentioned earlier, its more of a realistic take on Nazi Zombies.

    Great game over all and I REALLY hope Rebellion releases more DLC for it in the future cause I know many people would want that, although this whole game is based on additional DLC for Sniper Elite series (Which is a great game as well, if you love Sniping or not).

    Hopefully this review helped you guys decide to get this awesome game or not.    … Expand

There are no deep metaphors about the state of the human race, no morally ambiguous choices to make, just waves and waves of Zombie scum to obliterate in any means you deem fit. Don't get me wrong, there is definitely a place for a deeper exploration of the Zombie theme in gaming, but it's just so refreshing to see something deviate so whole heartedly from that and pull it off without just seeming like a stupid cash in.
    Obviously this is not a game that will suit everyones tastes, but if you have any kind of love for classic B movie zombie fare or just want to spend a few hours watching heads explode with a few mates, I can't recommend this highly enough.    … Expand

    My favorite aspect of Zombie Army Trilogy (ZAT) is the soundtrack.

While many contemporary games either downplay or misuse music, ZAT nearly always uses music to its full advantage to create a unique atmosphere, that sounds and feels like it was ripped straight out of an 80's horror film in the style of John Carpenter. This game truly separates itself from its contemporaries with its incredible vibe, and horror-themed motif. There are around 12 stages and they are rather long and feel varied enough to not get stale. Despite the level you choose, you'll always be shooting, blowing up, and kicking an incredible amount of zombies. And, as repetitive as that sounds, it really isn't because ZAT offers a healthy amount of strategy while slaying the undead. Well placed trip wires, mounted guns, and explosive canisters can be utilized at the right moments to destroy multiple zombies at one time, and the difficulty can be adjusted for a more arcade based or realistic experience while sniping. Turning up the zombie count is amusing as well, albeit it usually makes the game impossible if turned up too high. The weaponry feels varied enough as far as I'm concerned. You'll most likely find a combination you like, and stick with it. The character selection is ample, but they play exactly the same as far as I can tell. They are only different cosmetically. The graphics aren't anything special, but they get the job done. The game shines, or doesn't actually, when it uses shadows and light contrast to its advantage. Seeing the silhouettes of zombies slowly approaching you hundreds of feet away in a subway that is harshly lit is an amazing sight. Similarly, witnessing shadows of a horde engulf a nearby hallway, builds incredible tension, and works astoundingly well when accompanied with the fore-mentioned soundtrack. Despite the tantalizing atmosphere, the game does have some occasional frame rate drops (more so in multiplayer) that detract from the overall experience. Thankfully, the technical issues aren't persistent enough to spoil an otherwise enjoyable experience. If this game flew under your radar when it was released, and you are a fan of retro-horror, do yourself and buy this unique game. I don't even typically like shooters all that much, especially the Call of Duty franchise, but this is a very different experience. ZAT is certainly an anomaly, and its a shame it won't be played by most gamers, because it's a great game that breathes some fresh air into a stale genre… Expand

    In this package you get 3 games which is quite good value for money. The settings are spooky and the use of colour is very well done. The game is also a lot better enjoyed when played with other members in your team rather than played solo. This would lead to my biggest gripe. The game runs on the last gen sniper V2 engine and there is absolutely no split screen whatsoever. This was a real disappointment as games like borderlands and earth defence force can do split screen much more easily. But having said that you can still enjoy the game regardless.

    Zombie Army Trilogy is familiar and fun for a short spell. The third game is a good deal better than the first two but for the most part, it’s a ho-hum action blast-fest that doesn’t have enough “oomph” behind it.
