    This game is INCOMPLETE. This game frustrates the **** out of me. I WASTE MY TIME ON THIS GAME DUE TO CRASHES AND ISSUES. I waste 45m game sessions for the following:

    -Crashing at any point of the game and receive NO EXP from your gameplay. Waste 30m-1h -Getting stuck at a place where you can’t get out Further issues that needs attention -NPC is stuck and doesn’t let you fulfill    This game is INCOMPLETE.

    -Crashing at any point of the game and receive NO EXP from your gameplay. Waste 30m-1h
    -Getting stuck at a place where you can’t get out

    Further issues that needs attention
    -NPC is stuck and doesn’t let you fulfill mission
    -Music loops in the lobby
    -Victory ending overlaps with dialogue
    -Need details to explain equipments such as masking gas and frag grenade (Radius? Damage? Effect??)
    -Needs to make stim pistol easier to aim at players
    -Needs to make med kit easier to aim at players
    -Unable to join a game (I would have to troubleshoot)
    -And other glitches out there too many to name...

    This game is a ****ing copy and paste of L4D2. They did not audit this game enough. I have only played for about 12 hours game total and this is what I find?? Fix these frustrating issues and I will reconsider giving it a rating of 6+.    … Expand

    Boring, buggy and glitchy... what a waste of money! This is one of the worst games I've ever played in my life, avoid it or you will regret your purchase. The game is just not fun at all.

    Un jeu davantage triple Z que triple A puisqu'il est inspiré du film très nazzze du même nom, un nanarzzz épouvantable avec Brad Pitre d'ailleurs, l'acteur étant en général fort peu regardant sur les conneries et sous-conneries qu'il peut tourner, du moment qu'on le paye !

    Cela dit, ce serait sans doute aller un peu vite en besogne, car ce jeu opportuniste de dégommage de zzzombis bénéficie d'une jolie réalisation qui n'est pas sans évoquer une Division (par zéro) ou l'autre, toutes proportions gardées bien entendu et toutes choses restant égales par ailleurs...

    Comparé aux MMO d'Ubisoft, les usines bien connues à crever-farmer la gueule ouverte des gros crevards de sacs à points de vie, ce WWZZZ se cantonne à un grind plus mesuré en petit comité et en mode triple K (Koop Kevin Kikoolol) plus décontracté via des "scénarios" bien scriptés de partout et forcément bien cons. On peut d'ailleurs faire ces merdes en solo avec les 3 autres clampins contrôlés par l'IA...

    On se rend compte que c'est rapidement aussi nazzze que ça en a l'air, car tout manque ici cruellement d'envergure : les effets sonores sont carrément minables, les armes sont molles, les sensations sont absentes... Les zombis sont certes très nombreux mais trop rapides pour des zombis... et les "objectifs" se révèlent très vite aussi barbants que répétitifs !

    Trop limité, trop opportuniste, trop occupé et préoccupé par l'audience, la cible des kévins potentiels en quête de kévineries à jouer ensemble entre golmons kévineux, trop obsédé par le fric potentiel, le jeu en a oublié l'essentiel et a loupé définitivement le coche !    … Expand

    I bought this game because I heard it was similar to Left for Dead. This is game is just a generic zombie game that is using the World War Z title to grab more people to buy it. Something else that surprised me was that there was barely anything to do in the game. Just shoot zombies and that’s it. This game was extremely disappointing, don’t support this game. 2/10

    Boring cheap Left4Dead ripoff. On Xbox you also get bad aiming and clunky controls.

    Would be a great game if you could play it solo but really requires team of friends. The a.i. is not good enough to do it with bots. But if you want to play it free/gamepass it's worth a look

But what this turned into would be getting match with two idiots running through the mission gun blazing, getting downed every second. Not all matches were like this but I would say a good 3/4 were. Annoying that I couldn't just play with friends and AI.

    Although the MASSIVE hordes of Zombies was great, the same thing came abit of a bore. At least L4D had a bit of variety.    … Expand

    30fps on Xbox Series, blurry/grainy like Crysis2 on PS3. Clunky, laggy controls. No feeling of progression while killing the zombies so whats the point of doing it. Klunky zombie animations.

    Despite the largely one-note action, noticeably low budget, as well as the lack of imagination on show, there’s at least a scrappy charm displayed here that makes this zombie romp just about worthwhile. If you have a few Xbox Live chums who have an undead-annihilating itch to scratch, you could do worse than waging this brain-biting battle [Issue#178, p.78]

    While it’s unfortunate you don’t get to play as Brad Pitt, or have much of an overarching narrative tying all the mini campaigns together, World War Z scratches that Left 4 Dead itch that I’ve been craving for a few years now. While it does eventually turn into a grind, facing off against swarms of hundreds of rushing zombies, it never ceases to impress with its technical prowess and core fun of shooting a mass of zombies.

    World War Z is lots of fun and easy to pick up and play, despite being a little on the expensive side. It may not have loads of new ideas, but it delivers a solid online PvP experience that doesn’t disappoint, especially on the zombie front. If you’re looking for your first foray into the online shooter genre, this is as good a place as any to start.
