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

    I think the guys form Left 4 Dead got their dark side, Zombie Apocalypse like Geometry Wars only with blood, humor and well , cool entertainment. For the price , is worth checking it.

    awesome game when playing with other people and alot of gore and funny moments like blasting knife wielding granny's into a planes engine and it's really hard difficulty when playing later levels but they should improve on making more levels and make the zombie seem more different from eachother and making a plot into it but aprt from that you got a real awesome game it's awesome game when playing with other people and alot of gore and funny moments like blasting knife wielding granny's into a planes engine and it's really hard difficulty when playing later levels but they should improve on making more levels and make the zombie seem more different from eachother and making a plot into it but aprt from that you got a real awesome game it's worth the 800 microsoft points… Expand

    Simple fun of point and shoot combined with co-op play and frantic zombie dodging goodness.

    Fantastic SmashTV type gameplay with 4-player live or co-op for $10. Simple, but fun twin-stick shooting with lots of gore, chainsaws and ZAMBEES!!

    Great game. I love everything about this game other than it can get repetitive. Great online for up to 4 people, and its a blast. Another problem is people quit your group almost instantly in online co-op. then your stuck with just yourself, if you can find some friends to play the whole way through, I highly recommend it.

    Awesome game - worth 800 points, just. Would like to see some (free) downloadable maps for it though, as I feel the content was a little light in that respect.

    If you're a fan of all-things Zombies, I highly recommend this game. It's fast, frantic, plenty of modes, and assuming you've got friends to play with, ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE will last you a while, for it's best in multiplayer. Even 4-Player Local-Play is a heck-a-lot-a-fun!

    Awesome game for you and 3 of your friends for $10. Keep your expectations in line... it's onl $10... so the different maps get old after a while, but it's still a hoot!

    An absolute blast. It's basically a twin stick Left 4 Dead. even the characters strongly resemble Louis, Zoey, Francis, and Bill. With 55 waves and multiple modes to unlock, it's an addictive addition to XBLA.

    Perhaps if Zombie Apocalypse wasn’t so repetitive -- and blatantly so -- it would be easier to recommend as a way to blow off an afternoon with friends. Instead, it just serves as a reminder that there are better zombie-killing multiplayer games out there.

    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.

    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.
