    Rock Zombie is the ultimate remaster of a 90's arcade game that will absolutely have you reminiscing of "times of old" and smiling at those memories flowing through your brain as you're playing it.

    Rock Zombie ironically tries to revitalize a tired gaming genre from the past by throwing hordes of undead into the mix. An interesting premise and a bold palette isn’t enough to stop this gnarly brawler from being booed off stage due to lifeless animations, repetitive gameplay and overall inconsistency of the game.

    No. Just no. This is no modern Streets of Rage with the undead. For that it lacks esprit, dynamics, decent visuals or a multiplayer mode. Zombies alone don’t make a decent game.

    Even for comedic value, I would still not suggest the $8 price tag. While not broken, the game is boring, uninspired, and plain ugly. Offering no co-op at all means even if you wanted to Mystery Science Theater the game, it would be a boring mess. Steer clear of Rock Zombie. It’s not undead. It’s just dead altogether.

The story is plain and boring, the music is the most repetitive thing I have ever listened to, the first ten minutes of this game was really bugging me, I couldn't stand the game and it's lack of game play, so I turned it off in disappointment. This game is repetitive, annoying, so just save your money for a better game. Full Review »

It does fall short in several areas though: 1. the comic strip scenes get old very quickly and you will find yourself skipping them. 2. the controls are simple but its often difficult to focus your attack on the proper zombie if there's multiple characters on screen. 3. the music is very nerve grating after 10 seconds. there really is a long list of faults here but if you judge it based on its very low budget price, turn off the sound and skip the comic scenes then you may just enjoy it--for a short while but you'll probably never play it again after the first time.
