Garage

Zombies come back to life in this top-view shooter with a classic taste. Simple, fun and highly addictive, Garage becomes a must have if you are keen into B movies or just want to have a moment of relax blowing up some undead heads. Deeper than it looks on a first sight.

A fun top-view shooter with some good ideas and great atmosphere, but it needs some polish (for example, the sudden, and rough, appearance of items and enemies, often when you have 'em on your face). Also, the game gets repetitive soon, even with the addition of original ideas (like the motorbike chunk). We also miss more enemy variety.

There's the seed of a good game here, but it's underdeveloped. Garage has style and wit to spare, but its cheap deaths, poor map design, murky graphics, and frequent bugs all add up to a frustrating experience. I'm usually willing to give any zombie game more credit than most sensible people would, and even I can't recommend this.

Once all is said and done, I can’t help but feel like Garage could have been so much more. It has some great aspects, don’t get me wrong, but the potential is there for all to see and maybe some extra development time was what the game needed to finetune certain things. As it is, what you will find is a game that you will have a lot of fun with, but one that also grows repetitive the more you play. I just kept thinking that there are much better games out there that share a lot of the same ideas.

If you’re desperate for some gory twin-stick shooter action with a horror bent, it scratches that itch well enough to warrant investigation. It’s just hard to shake the feeling you’ve played this game before, and better.

A wasted opportunity.
