    A game that runs out of steam far too quickly for its own good. What begins as an intriguing and fun game rapidly goes downhill.
  2. Average execution, terribly repetitive combat, lots of reasonable ideas that don't quite work, a general lack of cohesion: it's not diabolical, but it's far from great.

    disclaimer it only gets this high rating due to me having so many fun memories in the game its no perfect game but its so cool because you aredisclaimer it only gets this high rating due to me having so many fun memories in the game its no perfect game but its so cool because you are the zombie! much like fallout 3 its a futuristic setting in the 50s so expect bad music. although all these traditional songs are done by amazing bands like deth cab for cutie and flaming lips thats so awesome! throughout the game you will rise as a zombie in a city known as punchbowl you eat peoples brains to start your own Apocalypse and ruin the city and end the world! how can you say thats not fun and super cool. you have many powers like farting to stun enemies because zombie farts are really bad! also you can posses people with your arm and make them shoot there freinds. and you have gut bombs to throw. the game is just sci-fi in the most entertaining funny gory way. but all games have some problems right? well this game is about 4 hours long WTF! and the controls are so odd so be very prepared. i mean the soundtrack is probably longer then this game i cant get over it. and you have to just love zombies or you will not like it. but its worth a purchase now its real cheap and a ton of zombie fun in a really cool innovative way!

I wasnt able to find a physical copy sadly, and this was before my parents trusted purchasing online products. But I eventually had a chance to play and complete this GOTY 2005! Lmao Just kidding, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory definitely earned that title. But seriously, what an awesome way to utilize the Halo 1 engine. Full Review »
