    Bought this today as I'm a fan of this kind of game. Have to say wish I hadn't. Very dull gameplay that involves some extremely boring mini games. Repetetive button mashing as you constantly have to smash up objects. Old mechanics of finding a key to open a door. And worst of all no online play. Didn't find it fun at all. Very average title.

    Everything about this game on the surface seems great. Zombies, 50's style campy horror, vastly different personas for the cartoony characters, co-op (local only mind you). I even had a curiously good time for about the first 3 minutes. Then I stepped in the huge steaming pile that this game is.

Zombies, 50's style campy horror, vastly different personas for the cartoony characters, co-op (local only mind you). I even had a curiously good time for about the first 3 minutes. Then I stepped in the huge steaming pile that this game is. You are just way to busy punishing your B button blandly swinging away at furniture and harvesting wood from it to enjoy anything thats going on around you (it seems to take 10 to 20 rapid presses for each piece of furniture you destroy). THATS 95% OF THE GAME. It actually aggravated me more than any game I can recall in recent history. With the atmosphere and co-op screaming "I am fun!", I wanted so much to like this game. I thought..."Whoever was overseeing this project with such clear potential couldn't have screwed up THIS bad." I made it to about 15 minutes before angrily powering off my 360 and shouting. "Man, there is no getting around it, this game is just absolutely monotonous, controller breaking, unnecessary horse s h i t.!" Unless you are 5 years old and you need to where a crash helmet to eat a bowl of cereal, you will experience buyer's remorse with this one.… Expand

    I bought this game. It was horrible. Storyline makes no sense. It is one of the weakest tower defense games out there. There is no online play? I would spend money on Plants versus Zombies, South Park instead or better yet wait for Dungeon Defenders which I think is supposed to be really good. I would not spend money on this game. Graphics were also average and the fat kid seems cool atI bought this game. It was horrible. Storyline makes no sense. It is one of the weakest tower defense games out there. There is no online play? I would spend money on Plants versus Zombies, South Park instead or better yet wait for Dungeon Defenders which I think is supposed to be really good. I would not spend money on this game. Graphics were also average and the fat kid seems cool at first but becomes really annoying the more you play. I wish I could get my money back even though it is only $10. I'd rather take it and buy some pizza instead.… Expand

    The lack of Xbox Live play kills it dead. [Nov 2011, p.107]

    If you're not tired of zombies yet you will be by the time you've survived this game. It provides its cheap thrills, and building traps is fun at times, but the ridiculously slow speed and the boring weapon selection suck this dead corpse dry before you've even started.

    A messy, boring, button-mashing waste of time. [Nov 2011, p.111]
