Up to four players can try and stop the zombie apocalypse with an arsenal of deadly weapons, such as an assault rifle, flame thrower, or grenade launcher, and when ammo is low a chainsaw will be your last line of defense against becoming one of the undead. This action packed, arcade-style shooter will test your dual analog stick shooting skills and ability to survive 55 days of relentless zombie attacks. Multiplayer action: Spill zombie guts side-by-side with up to four players in online or local multiplayer. Devastating weapons: Burn, saw, and dismember the undead with ten devastating weapons. Fatal hazards: Butcher the walking dead using jet turbines, wood chippers, and other fatal hazards. Survival strategy: Survive over 50 stages of brutal carnage in seven brain-splattering locations. Bonus game modes: Re-live the apocalypse with seven challenging unlockable game modes. [Konami]… Expand

    A solid multiplayer offering, gore aplenty, a low price point, and general undead silliness make Zombie Apocalypse a fun diversion.

    A fun game to play , just not groundbreaking.

    The co-op multiplayer experience, well-implemented theme, and arcade price means it's a nice bit of valuable fun to pull out when your buddies come calling.

    If you absolutely must have another zombie game, Zombie Apocalypse is far from awful. The most frustrating and disappointing thing about it is that the premise has so much promise - none of which is delivered on here. It's decidedly average.

    The game might provide a fun, visceral thrill, at first. But by the end it becomes to mind-numbingly repetitive you may as well go gnaw on some flesh yourself.

    Worse than simply being tedious, though, is how jaw-grindingly frustrating Zombie Apocalypse becomes.

    Very entertaining game to play cooperatively as well as being quite difficult, with various weapons and enemies

However, with a sharp gore engine, a satisfying zombie aesthetic and visual design, and 4 player local or online co-op make for a fun, frantic romp for any zombie fan.… Expand

No big difference between the 4 players you get to choose from. Just really really annoying and tedious. Especially past level 7. It isn't even fun! The only reason I even went through this hell hole of a game was to get the achievement at the end. The 7 days of hell was The regular game!!… Expand
